[QUOTE="Jock Ewing Fan, post: 416352, member: 40536"] It mattered who played JR, Bobby, Sue Ellen and Pam because they were the core characters. No one was tuning in on a weekly basis to ask "What will Miss Ellie do? Did you know that Dorothy Malone was asked to play the role? An Academy award winner with over 50 films, dozens of Tv credits, including 4 year sof Peyton Place? I suppose she doesn't meet the Olympian standards that you seem to think the role required. It is a good thing she declined, considering the irrational statements made by others about Donna Reed When you use an absurd exaggeration like Don Knotts for JR, you are mocking me, it is not being defensive. I could just as easily point out that you sound like someone running for President of the BBG appreciation society. My point is not creaky. I didn't make up the season by season ratings. The fact is that BBG's return not only didn't improve ratings, but there was a sharp decline. Yes there were other factors, but re-recating Miss Ellie didn't save the show I am trying to discuss this civilly, rather than the sarcasm tof the Don Knotts remark [/QUOTE]
