Plot hole: In the first season, Lucy Ewing had an affair with Ray, the farm hand at South Fork. Several years later, it was revealed that Ray was actually Jock Ewing's illegitimate son, making him Lucy's uncle. However, the subject of their affair was never raised, even though they surely would have been at least somewhat traumatized upon learning of the accidental incest.

1.1/10. This show played to the pointless stereotypes of the rich and oilmen through 1978-1991. Frankly I never got the appeal of it.The plots were the usual "JR's greedy and tries swindling everybody. "The idea a sleazy guy like him could get so many women is unbelievable. A perk no doubt for Larry Hagman. Frankly I found the whole cast a bunch of boors who play their characters to the absolute worst they can. The ones who annoyed me the most were Larry Hagman as JR and Linda Gray as Sue Ellen. The fact this drunkard would stay with this sleazeball I couldn't believe. The only reason most guys would watch this idiocy is to see all the gorgeous actresses they'd have as guest stars. One of the best this schlock fest had was Barbara Carrera. I'm only giving it this high a ranking due to the use of beautiful women like Barbara Carrera, nothing more.

Trivia: Larry Hagman ("JR") was the only actor to appear in all 357 episodes of the show.
Question: Why does everyone put up with JR? Why not throw him off the ranch and out of the company?

Answer: In real life, that might happen, but this is a fictional TV show that revolves around the characters and the dynamic interaction between them. Getting rid of JR, a main character that much of the story line revolves around, would make the show far less interesting, less melodramatic, and less intriguing. It's just an entertaining, over-the-top exaggerated soap opera.
