[QUOTE="Laurie!, post: 299559, member: 2210"] For me personally, it was Sue Ellen and a close 2nd was JR. I at least understood the entertainment value of JR but Sue Ellen was just alien to me as a child watching...and I still to this day, fast forward her scenes as an adult. They were both such one- dimensional characters. Partly because Larry played the role like he was always about to burst out laughing, even during what was supposed to be a serious scene...and aside from an occasional lip quiver, Sue Ellen looked like a robot without any layers of emotion beneath the surface. When Sue Ellen wasn't struggling with the earth shattering importance of what silverware to use for the next Daughters of the Alamo meeting, she was just trying to shoe-horn her way into existence in JR's brain. I guess I just didn't grow up with that kind of sub-servient, spineless females in my life to want to give a damn about such a narcissistic, masochistic, shallow person. Cliff had layers that I wanted to see pulled back and so did Pam. There was so much to explore with those characters but SE and JR were just drink, cheat and repeat. Although, I did crave the showdowns between Pam and JR but they were far too rare. I would have paid to see that during the dream season...just like I paid to see E.T., Footloose or NeverEnding Story. We were supposed to hate SE and JR so I guess I'm normal, lol. [/QUOTE]
