He has no morals or feelings and treats his family appallingly while they are all written as stupid. His treatment towards children like his own nephew is disturbing, too.
By season 11, were viewers not sick of him?
I think Larry is great, but after a decade, the character is burnt out.
Naturally, as a 90s baby and having watched Step by Step as a kid way before I first saw Dallas it was a bit jarring seeing this guy as the son of J.R. but after the latter part of season 12 being possibly the least exciting episodes I'd ever seen of Dallas I think his character was a bit of a breath of fresh air for the show.
Then again I'm only 11 episodes into season 13 so maybe I'm wrong.
I thought this would be a fun discussion post! My mom and I had a conversation about that over the weekend, and it gave me inspiration for the subreddit. I think I would want to be Sue Ellen, just because I think it would be so much fun to be her. She was with all the hotties, and a good vodka on the rocks could cure all that ailed her.
I’m a 46 year old man with a family. My mom and aunts watched this as a kid. Back then, The theme song had the same effect in me that MASH did. Oddly enough to say!!
A couple years ago I came home came work early. Flopped down in my bedroom with lights off blinds down. Started watching random old sitcom as I always do. That show ended, Dallas just started playing automatically & before I knew it I was 3 episodes in. I am so hooked I paid $60 for the Apple TV version lol
If you’re in my age group or younger, how did you stumble in this show.
From a verifiable source...this hurts my heart. It's like the dream series finale in real life. It's worse than drilling for oil. It's even worse than Ray and Donna's house being torn down. Miss Ellie would not approve of this.
I’m a new watcher midway through season 1 and my god… he really is the man everyone loves to hate. Everything he’s done in these limited episodes has been so vile I can’t believe it took so long for someone to get him back.
Please no spoilers as to who shoots him! I still have no idea and I’m happy this way, because anyone would be justified.
I love this competition between Bobby & JR to see who will take control of Ewing Oil.
Bobby has a deal with the Canadians where it is snowing in every scene in Toronto.
JR is up to something with his variance.
The cartel is plotting against JR. Punk Anderson shows up to warn Bobby.
It is such an entertaining show.

After starting this Dallas journey almost 6 months ago I've finally reached the seasons without Sue Ellen, and 4 episodes in to say I'm a bit underwhelmed would be an understatement. April's sister not only seems immediately like a knockoff of Kristin Shepard and Katherine Wentworth but the actor for her character starts off already as a main cast member in the credits?
I hope she grows to be somewhat more entertaining and not too predictable at least. Cally and her whole painting side plot: meh so far but it could turn out to be interesting? Also I find it funny that the writers decided to make Cally not only gullible and naive but to also dumb her down further by having her accuse April of secretly still pining away for J.R. Also, I'm trying to but I still don't like April yet.
Speaking of J.R.: so far in season 13 I've gotten the distinct impression that he is pretty in over his head and doesn't seem to be as discerning/cunning on the wheelin' and dealin' side of things and I'm wondering if the writers are nerfing/weakening his character for some reason. Is this in service of some longer term plot that'll make sense after I finish the conundrum episode or is it just the writers going in a completely different direction for the show?
The tommy/McKay's vs Ewings plot is probably the most interesting plot so far this season but overall it's been rough from the end of season 12 until now and hoping it gets better.
Honestly, I think I would refuse to see anyone as well. No one seems to care that much apart from her husband and son anyway.
(I know about her actual exit which frankly is an insult to the viewers, the characters and Pam as she looked perfectly glamorous.)
Doesn't that beat all!
If you know, you know. :)
Marry Bobby!
Get back with my Dad!
Marry Ray!
She wants, she wants, she wants... the wealth and status. A gold digger in the making. Little brat.
A bit unrealistic.
This character started off somewhat respectable. He was a lawyer and politician. Then turned into a babbling idiot. It’s hard to watch.
His Uncles and Aunt Sue Ellen couldn't care less that he is suffering due to Pams accident.
Just started rewatching Season 1 miniserie, that brings back so many memories.
Are there worthwhile documentaries (interviews, behind the scenes etc), similar to Getting Lost (about the Lost series)?
