They started out to all be more compromised, in the way David Jacobs intended them to be (and the way KNOTS referred to them from 2000 miles away), than the characters wound up being.But as Larry once said, if DALLAS showed what really went on in the oil business, they'd "blow up CBS." And the same applies to the characters themselves were they to exist in real life: the Ewings would have been much, much worse than they were on screen.</blockquote>
