[QUOTE="DallasFanForever, post: 355363, member: 13221"] This is still one of my favorite episodes of the entire series. I think Digger’s Daughter was perfectly written and one of the best series pilots we’ve ever seen. The premise of the feuding families and their now married offspring is established very early on. I haven’t watched the miniseries in a few years now, but these opening scenes still grab my interest right away. It’s always a good thing seeing things from the beginning, seeing Bobby and Pam so much in love, yet the dark cloud hanging over their heads is imminent right from the start. This was great writing. The character of J.R. is also established pretty quickly. It’s a little subtle at first, but by the end of this episode you can see how this character had the potential to steal the show. No answer even needed here. It will never stop being iconic for me. I didn’t start watching until season 7 (DVD), so I didn’t get a chance to see the early episodes until much later. But still, those clips do remind me of when I started watching, and even more importantly why I started watching. Simply put, it was an iconic show with iconic characters and an iconic theme song.
