[QUOTE="Rove, post: 211719, member: 100"] I do see your point Willie. The main contention I had with TNT Dallas was the crime ridden influence. TNT Dallas even started on an uneven keel when long time viewers like myself were meant to suspend belief Christopher had no idea he was dating his cousin Rebecca Suter. Watching characters like JR, Bobby, Sue Ellen and Cliff navigate a modern Dallas would have been interesting if only they focused on the characters struggles within a modern environment. Keeping John Ross out in the oil fields rather than in the confines of Ewing Oil could have been a cause of frustration with JR. Christopher could have butted heads with Bobby, JR and John Ross if his desire was green energy. If the writers created a tom-boy like Pamela Rebecca who was happy working the oil fields with John Ross and secretly enjoying a relationship I could have settled for it because you knew this relationship - much like Bobby and Pam's - was doomed, especially when those crusty old farts JR and Cliff discovered the truth with Sue Ellen caught in the middle of it all. What I couldn't contend with was the Ramos, Ryland families and that sordid mess involving the Mexican drug cartel. When I watch Lorimar Dallas I note how the writers kept the focus solely on the Ewing's, Southfork and Ewing Oil. It allowed us to peek behind the blinds and discover how a rich family battled. I think that's where TNT Dallas creators struggled what made for riveting viewing. They may have thought a threesome would make for memorable viewing but most found it revolting. [/QUOTE]
