I went in the tour of southfork. I was surprised at how small the house was. For some reason when I was young, I used to think it was a huge mansion lol

Have heard that.

It certainly doesn’t seem palatial and huge but more like big overall with a ton of moderate sized rooms.

And that raises yet another dynamic I mention in every thread:
How freakin weird would it be to live under the same roof with your parents, adult siblings and their kids?
Even with a normal family,
it’d be so weird, but add in for each meal the pit vipers of JR, Sue Ellen (much of the time), and even Jock at times, and it’d be insane.
Was that more of a thing in the 70s-80s?
Or maybe supposed to be a thing the super wealthy did?
Of course, for storytelling purposes it makes things much easier and connected.
