Making my way through 1982-83, the contest for control of Ewing Oil season. Two things: I feel like Bobby's losing his identity and that the show was thrilled to have original recipe J.R. and this new diet version. Also, Sue Ellen and Pam going on and on about how they're really gonna try to not hate each other reminds me of a quip from David Denby's review of Beaches. "These two spend more time talking about their friendship than having it."

I never understood why Pam would want to have a friendship with Sue Ellen. When things are good between her and J.R., she throws Pam and Bobby under the bus. When things fall apart, she comes crying to them. The time Sue Ellen got into a fight with Pam at Pam's house by the pool, Pam should have been done with her for good.

Sue Ellen was a real bitch to her from day one. I loved it when Pam slapped her across the room when J.R. & Bobby's plane went down. I also loved it when Pam busted her playing lady of the manor on the stairs when Jock was in the hospital with his heart attack. Those 1978-79 episodes are real gems. Victoria was stunning to look at.

I know these jokes were done to death, but I always had a soft spot for Tony Slattery, and I still enjoyed this (and a few of the impressions, especially the Sue Ellen, are on the nose). This also serves as another reminder of how big Dallas was in the UK.
