>>JR Ewing would come home from work, Genie has been sitting around bored all day. Genie would say, “What can I do for you, master,” and JR Ewing would say, “Oh, nothing Genie”.

I hope you realize that that was the moral lesson of the show: that Red-Blooded Americans would rather work than have riches handed to them. Basic Protestant Work Ethic stuff with Puritan Sexual Ethics mixed in.

Hollywood used to be on our side.
