[QUOTE="Kenny Coyote, post: 160625, member: 102"] That's an excellent point. I didn't watch Dynasty but what you said certainly applies Dallas.. It was more or less around the time of Jock's death that they started getting a little more outlandish, which for a while was still on the side of that fine line where viewers would accept it... Then they kept pushing it further and further. I sometimes wonder what Jock's reaction would have been to JR hiring B.D.Calhoun to blow up oil wells in Suadi Arabia or JR getting himself committed to an insane asylum just to get to be able to vote with shares of stock that he didn't own and therefore could be taken away at any time (and were). "You jackass" comes to mind. Or how about the storyline where Jack was told he was the bastard son of Dimitri Marinos and that's why he looked so much like him. How about the Haleyville storyline? Had any of those storylines been suggested in the early days I can't imagine they would have even been considered. I'd love to see what Jim Davis's reaction would have been to the proposal of one of those storylines circa 1980, back when Dallas was vigilant about protecting its credibility. The lengths they went to to protect the identity of the person who tried to murder JR show how seriously they took the show back then. [/QUOTE]
