Yay! Someone else is posting pictures. Thanks Pete. :)

Also I really liked Sue Ellen and Pam's trip to Hong Kong too. It was hilarious also how this one dude asked them if they were related to JR Ewing! :lol:
It was like Sue Ellen could go to the other side of the world but she could still not truly get away from JR... ;)

Such a dynamic couple to watch and what a tragedy we'll never see that chemistry again. I challenge anyone to name a couple either from past or current television shows that could rival JR and Sue Ellen's turbulent relationship.
... ... the key word being "turbulent", right? ;)

Love the photos. Also Linda's attention is totally on Larry, while VP is mugging the camera! ;)

Good question, although Alexis and Blake had some aspects of the love-hate relationship that resembles JR/SE some I wouldn't say they can challenge them as we never really saw them properly together as Blake was too infatuated with blond wife number two. Whereas Cally was never a threat to JR/SE. In fact he'd never even married her if he hadn't been held at gun point/tricked by Sue Ellen.

My other favorite tv couples would be Bobby & Pam, but their relationship was totally different from JR/SE and not so turbulent and Buffy & Angel but they were more teeny booper relationship and never as deep as JR/SE's connection or Bobby and Pam's for that matter.

So honestly for me no other couple can really compare to JR/SE. :kiss:

I think Den and Angie in EastEnders were based on J.R and Sue Ellen - rows, alcohol, infidelity and more. Looking back they were almost a carbon copy but with much rougher edges.

Since it's pretty obvious that no other couple can truly rival JR/SE let's reformulate @Rove 's question. Do you have any other favorite TV couples besides JR/SE and if so which ones?

I've already mentioned the ones I like the most in my post earlier. :)

Also what is it about JR/SE that makes them so great to watch?
Why do you ship them? (if you do)

I think for me a part of JR/SE's charm is that their relationship is so long. You get to follow them through several decades and despite getting divorced twice there's no doubt that they loved each other until death did them part.

Also their relationship is so passionate, there are lots of ups and downs and they are dysfunctional and interesting to watch. Their bickering can be funny and sometimes the insults they throw at each other when they argue are truly hurtful. Yet nothing seems to break the bond between them.
