[QUOTE="Snarky Oracle!, post: 404995, member: 57984"] David Jacobs' idea for the prospective DALLAS movie twenty years ago of Miss Ellie having a TV talk show seems to me a good idea for the series at some point (smells like Season 13). After the Ewing-Valdez tanker disaster and the resulting oil spill, JR goes on The Roy Ralston Show for PR purposes, but it doesn't work all that well. But once Ralston then meets Ellie at, say, The Oil Barons Ball and he's utterly charmed by her, JR brings his mama onto the Ralston talk show a couple of times, she's a hit, and, shortly thereafter, when Ralston's show finally goes national, the local station, wowed by the audience's affection for her, offers Miss Ellie Ralston's time slot... Ellie frets about whether or not she should do it, Clayton is wary of the whole thing, Bobby smirks patronizingly as he always does whenever any woman wants to do anything, but JR wholeheartedly encourages the venture (which makes Clayton even more wary) because JR sees the show as an opportunity to influence public opinion in a way he'd like. Ellie takes the job, and delights east Texas with her chatter, recipes, celebrity interviews and homespun wisdom -- until she begins revealing her own liberal political leanings and environmental concerns, horrifying JR along with the Dallas oil cartel. So, Mama being unassailable to his criticisms, JR begins scheming to pull the plug on SOMEONE'S IN THE KITCHEN WITH ELLIE as fast as possible -- Miss Ellie almost dying as a result of her eldest son's manipulations. She survives, but leaves her TV talk show before the end of the season. But then, I always saw Miss Ellie as the secret star of DALLAS.
