Message: <blockquote data-quote="Justine" data-source="post: 175031" data-attributes="member: 404">TNT was more realistic about their flaws to a certain extent but they pushed the boundary of truth, in my opinion. I have no doubt John Ross was poorly affected by J.R. and Sue Ellen's behaviours but Sue Ellen didn't "hide" John Ross away in school, like he remarked in the pilot episode. On the other hand, I did like that the writers were more realistic about the childhood of someone with an alcoholic parent - in Dallas, it almost seemed as if John Ross was oblivious to Sue Ellen's addiction (until the comment from him when Sue Ellen returned home to find Miss Ellie drunk) but in reality children are more intuitive than the adults realise, so TNT Dallas wrote that well.</blockquote>
