Dallas - A House Divided

[forexrobots212]

I've often wondered why the shooter, Kristin in this case, did not move in closer for a point blank kill shot after the first two shots immobilized JR.

[jksonny]

Excellent episode and obviously, an iconic moment in television history..

I've always noticed that Hagman really slimmed down toward the end of this season after being quite heavy early on. He must have gone on a hell of a diet/exercise regimen.

I'm up to season 7 on the dvds and there are so many better episodes than the whole Who Shot JR saga.

[pipoo1]

I think the thing about Who Shot JR is that it was an afterthought. It came about because the rest of the season was such a huge hit that CBS begged Lorimer for extra episodes and stuck for ideas they just decided to shoot JR and work it out later. The season was meant to end with Jock being arrested for murder.

@pipoo1

I agree with you 100%.

Originally, the season would end with the trial of Jock...

[nickelwindow53]

You are sooooo right! My fav is the one when Lucy falls for the Gay guy! Classic and I would guess the first time the topic was touched on Network TV

[Bearram1]

Well, people had a hole summer during the actors strike to discuss the who killed him and build up the suspense.

[asmartcunt]

JR was the greatest tv character ever ,a pure bastard

[axltyler]

a real snake in the grass.

[Mizoo]

AGREED!!! Absolutely RUTHLESS...

[nickelwindow53]

And so was Sue Ellen for the ladies! She rangs up there with Erica Caine for TV bitches! I loved the character

[MrJacMac1986]

@nickelwindow53 nah Sue Ellen was a good lady. She might have mean at times but that was becuase she had to put up with JR

[nickelwindow53]

@MrJacMac1986 yeah i guess your right bobby wife was a bitch at times too

[clubtv12]

this episode was named the greatest episode of all time.

[ballebanan]

JR made Dallas for me. He was so deliciously evil. Of course, a bullet is nothing to him. He'll get up, just dust himself off and keep on goin'. :D

[lizlawton]

JR Ewing- the only man on earth who doesn't bleed when he's shot. And he was shot, what, four times during the series? I never saw him bleed from any of them!

If you like to see the gag reel to the infamous Who Shot JR, then please check my youtube page.

I'm not shilling, I just think the gag reel is very funny, when you see the people who shoot JR are.

[cylon6]

It wasn't so much the ending but what it led to. The episode itself is brilliant showing us all of the suspects and their motives. But who knew that after that there would be speculation, hysteria and bets on who the shooter would be. This was also where Larry Hagman took the art of contract negotiation to another level. A very famous storyline that has been copied ever since. I can't tell you how exciting it all was, you just had to be there.

[axltyler]

didn't Carroll O'Connor advise Larry to do that? Or so I've heard.

[cylon6]

I didn't know that. Probably the best piece of advice Hagman ever got. They could have just killed the character off but there was such a media frenxy whipped up around him that when producers in America saw how big JR was becoming around the world they must have thought 'we need to get this guy back quick!'

[drlee2]

I wouldn't doubt that O'Connor advised Hagman. I didn't realize it, but after O'Connor died, when Hagman was on Larry King with other colleagues/friends of O'Connor, he had revealed they were close friends when he was alive.

[ashleyisasweatervest]

Oh snap!

[taylorcooldude]

YYYYYEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSS

[rocketrob73]

who's there? ................BANG,BANG!!!! LOL

[nyy027]

That was great.I remember watching it.I had a bumper sticker on my car saying I shot JR LOL

[LBF522]

Thanks for posting this. Loved this episode.

[700123Boy]

LOL! What a crappy ending. Was that ending act supposed to be one of the greatest of US history? Man when the bullets went off it sounded like he farted and when he fell to the ground it looked like he had a bad stomach disease.. pathetic..

[ayush7777]

700123Boy lmfao usa does suck

[ClassicLoverA]

And that ladies and gentelmen is where it all started.... and the rest became TV history.

[jgraefe1]

jgraefe1 Can you believe that on this day 30 years ago, it was revealed that Kristin was the one who shot J.R. DALLAS was simply awesome!!!
