That's why I love these lists - they are aide-memoirs. Hadn't marked Rich Man Poor Man as read and I loved that backintheday.

Are they making a new version, or digging up swelling and no-neck thing?

ETA

Swelling = Sue Ellen
No-neck(aka the poison dwarf) = Lucy

They're digging up J.R., Bobby and "Swelling" (love it!), but the series' focus is the rivalry between J.R.'s and Bobby's sons -- in other words, the sons pick up the feud's baton where their fathers left off.

Re Bobby Ewing - I remember when my best friend's step-father died and the mum said 'don't look so sad, we are just waiting for him to step out of the shower.'

I thought that was a lovely way to put it and somehow the death was more acceptable/less scary/diffused the grief to all concerned.
