[QUOTE="stevew, post: 300185, member: 130"] Thinking about it, this is true - this is what made Dallas. Yes it was a family drama, like many family dramas, but the fighting for position, something which is a common theme in many families, real and fictional, took it to a new level when we had a house/ranch and a business to add to the mix. The fighting became epic and we couldn't get enough. JR: I'm the oldest son to follow my father, my mother has to leave me the family ranch as I'm the oldest Southworth, my brothers should look up to me and follow what I tell them, my wife should be perfect in beauty, breeding and linage and my son follow in my foot steps, and they should all love me and let me do what I have to do to make us rich. My father betrays me by brining in Bobby, my mother needs to be protect, even from herself, my brothers are all weak and selfish, my wife doesn't love me, she only married me for my money, my son's ungrateful. In that we had a drama of a family and those that interacted with them. TNT was NOT that in the least. Who the hell are the Ramos's and why should I care? John Ross, a poor pathetic brat who women use for his looks, his body a shoulder to cry on when their love dumps him, but he could care less about his mother, father, uncle, grandmother . . . . . Christopher, a self entitled brat who things everything should be his and as it turns out so does his father. This isn't a dysfunctional family - it wasn't even a family any more. I felt more family bonds between Judith, Harris and Emma than I saw among the Ewing's (well maybe a basketball game behind the garage). [/QUOTE]
