[QUOTE="Bobby Southworth, post: 444256, member: 4960"] May he rest in peace. They didn't really flesh out his character much with the writing, but he worked with what he was given well. To touch on this thread, as I'm surprised I somehow missed it back in the day- but.. I think others might have more or less already stated my perspective, but I think they were trying to return to the early days a little, but because(again, as others have mentioned) sitcoms were really the thing at the time, they tried incorporating a little humor, or making things a little lighter. So, they tried the early days with a mix of comedy, and..for the most part, the comedy was a fail(but not every single time), but I personally enjoy the range war, but the attempts at humor really taint the Haileyville story-line. When I think of the humor that did work that season, the only instance that's coming to mind at the moment is when Sue Ellen is standing outside of the bedroom on his wedding night to Cally, and she says, "you're a little quicker than usual, J.R.," and pops the balloon. That was kinda fun. To touch on the episode where Bobby and J.R. were stuck in the elevator..one has to admire the strength of those Ewing bladders. Beer and wine normally went straight through me, but.. they were used to drinking all the time, so, there's that. [/QUOTE]
