Guzzler

Here's something that is interesting to think about:

Imagine it is 1978 and you walk up to the cast and crew filming this episode of Dallas. You tell them that 44 years from now, people will still be talking about the series, this episode, and Taylor Bennett (Guzzler).

They just wouldn't believe it!

news like that would have been the biggest thing since the invention of the hot dog!

I always like when shows bring back characters from the past over bringing in new ones. I would have brought back Guzzler to play more or less the same role that Matt Cantrell did. It would have been more believable when all the family were so excited to see him again when to the viewers he was a complete stranger.
I don’t think Pam would have been so taken as she was with Cantrell. She was not a Guzzler fan

Matt Cantrell seemed less creepy for one (and with more charm of the kind that Pam would like), and secondly Bobby wasn't around anymore, unlike Guzzler changing Bobby's personality early into Bobby and Pam's marriage. That personality change, and Guzzler making passes at Pam, pissed Pam off, while J.R. thought Guzzler was an annoying buffoon and not a good influence on Bobby.

Well I hate to say it but in this instance JR was right.

Guzzler was annoying.

I wouldn't say Bobby had a personality change I just think he was in awe of seeing Guzzler again.

Still, Guzzler's attempts to make a pass at Pam were reprehensible especially as she made it more than perfectly clear that she wasn't interested & that she was married to Bobby.

Thank goodness he was only in one episode. Such a shame about Richard Kelton though because he was such a great actor. :(

Bobby was nostalgic, and almost desperate to believe it all about Guzzler, yet was still sober enough in the end to know the reality even without Pam pointing it out to him. The title of the episode, i.e. "Fallen Idol" is fitting.

Bobby knew the reality, but didn't want to embarrass Guzzler by letting him know. Bobby played along at the end so he could spare a friend's feelings.
