[QUOTE="CryptCreeper72, post: 408029, member: 5055"] My additude towards the characters changed a lot when I first rewatched it as an adult. I found JR to be a lot less scary - and even bumbling at times. Pam - who I adored as a child - came across much more selfish and self righteous. Same for Bobby. I was less sympathetic to Sue Ellen as well. She kept causing her own misery and making the same mistakes. Mostly, my feelings towards Jock and Ellie changed. As an adult who had my own children, I couldn't believe what awful parents they were. But - my enjoyment of the show as a whole (the first ten seasons anyway) was much greater. As a kid, these characters were all magical. As an adult, I saw them as deeply flawed, nuanced people. That made the drama between them more real for me. [/QUOTE]
