They missed a trick (the writers). JR and Sue Ellen should have overcome their problems to become a super couple. Working together. Dallas would have lasted a lot longer. Sorry I don't have much time for the opinion that JR and Sue Ellen were solely one dimensional or that their relationship was just repetitive. There was SO MUCH potential there had the writers had the guts to do it and had certain powers that be not been so sexist in wanting to keep female characters in a certain bracket and not letting them expand or reach the potential they could have done. Even Larry Hagman said by the time we reached JR Returns that he would only do it if 'things were made right between JR and Sue Ellen'.Parting JR and Sue Ellen permanently ruined the character of JR and ultimately the show. One change of storyline (not introducing the ridiculous way that JR had to leave Sue Ellen to marry Kimberly) would have made all the difference. No more break ups, JR finally grows up and realises that his strongest ally is Sue Ellen. The writers were stupid and didn't appreciate what they had in front of them until it was too late.</blockquote>
