Look how “Knots” reinvented itself multiple times during that show’s run. But “Dallas” mishandled it (why Pam wasn’t left as Bobby’s widow at Southfork was beyond me) and then went back to the old format when Patrick came back. That worked for a year, and then it was clear the show was running out of gas.I would have set up Sue Ellen as an Alexis Colby type: J.R.’s vengeful ex-wife who becomes his business rival. And then the show becomes about J.R. and Pam’s uneasy alliance while they battle outsiders, including Sue Ellen. And Pam searches for new love (please, not Mark) as a B plot.</blockquote>
