As that the Dallas show was suppose to be about Pam and Bobby Ewing. But then JR Ewing the villain and later on, anti-hero or anti-villain became more popular.
Larry Hagman tried to get out of I Dreamed of Jeannie fame as he was the straight man to Barbara Eden. But the late Hagman seemed to love playing the character of JR the breakout star.
He had his soft spots like love for his mother and love-hate relationship with his wife Sue Ellen and others as also his younger nicer brother Bobby.
The feud was with the equally ambitious Barnes family in which Pam was a Barnes before marrying Bobby that cause the feud even much more destructive.
It made for cheesy TV but that it really ID the JR role to that over in Hagman. The late Barbara Bel Geddes as his mother is the only sane person along with Bobby there.
Too bad the late Jim Davis as Jock died of lung cancer prior during the early seasons there.
