| The Ewing family lived at the sprawling South Fork ranch, in Braddock Country just outside Dallas. Like any good power family, there were a matriach and patriach, and three sons - this core group, their extensive romantic relations, and the Barnes clan of rival oilers were all needed to create a self-contained histrionic world of intrigue, dysfunction and passion. The youngest Ewing boy, Bobby, fell for the beautiful Barnes girl Pam. And Bobby and older brother J.R. didn`t exactly play nice with each other like you might expect brothers to. Whereas J.R. was nearly a hundred percent scoundrel, Bobby had discernable streaks of honesty and integrity... but that patented Ewing viviousness certainly readed its head once in a while. The South Fork ranched housed Jack and Miss Ellie, the king and queen of South Fork, J.R. and long-suffering wife Sue Ellen, and Bobby and Pamela... though why the all lived under one roof demands a little poetic license because money certainly wasn`t a problem, and it wasn`t like there was a whole lot of binding inter-family harmony. |
