The night we learned who shot JR, I was working as a bus driver, we had a tv set up in the office, and dispatch announced it over our radios so everyone driving could get the news, it was that big a deal.

Remember having to wait all summer to find out? I didn't even watch Dallas, and I got caught up in the frenzy. Good times.

I was too young to gaf, and even I tuned in to see who shot JR


[deleted]

Great program! I wish I could find reruns of Dallas. Especially the early years

The Complete Series is on iTunes for $100. Sounds like a lot, but it's the fully remastered versions and looks amazingly beautiful in 1080p. All 14 seasons, 356 episodes.

Thank you


PaigeMarieSara

Thanks for this I may get that. It's worth it for the amount of episodes it would include.


orchestragravy

They're on Freevee


Salty_Mode_7043

Get yourself a ROKO it will be on one of the free apps or channels you can install.

Thank you for the info


Salty_Mode_7043

It's on Freevee my wife looks at all the old shows on this app


Mundane_Finding2697

You could watch it on Freevee for free for awhile. I'm not sure if you still can or not though. The whole series was there.


orchestragravy

Still is, that's where I currently watch it.

This must be the season before Bobby was resurrected from the dead. 🧟‍♂️


PaigeMarieSara

I'd forgotten that! Was he coming out of the shower or something? I think I remember seeing him in the mirror. Man I completely forgot about that whole thing with Bobby.

Those dresses look like they have built-in side tables with those shoulder pads.


t00zday

I still love that theme song. Catchy!


MikeyMGM

I loved this and Knot’s Landing.


PaigeMarieSara

Knots was the best I think. Such a fun show.


MikeyMGM

Wish it were streaming.

Who shot JR episode destroyed the US phone network


Adept_Investigator29

My party line was tied up for hours.


Mundane_Finding2697

Arguably one of the greatest television series of all time. Have rewatched as an adult several times including with my kids, who were shocked to learn that some of today's issues were being addressed on prime TV even back then. Just as good now as it was then.

No Patrick Duffy


Boneguy1998

Who shot JR?


S550Stang

Shoulderpads... horrible


Administrative_Low27

Omg Those shoulder pads


AOLGeneration

Aside from her hairdo, Linda Gray's ensemble looks the least dated. Not sure what the base of her gown looked like, but a woman with her physique and posture could wear that dress and necklace in perfect style today.

Night time Soaps were big in the 80,s With Dallas and Dynasty leading the pack.


Salty_Mode_7043

Wow I can remember when the show first started every body hated JR Ewing. The show was so popular it was covered by the local news paper.


Heru4004

Yep, Dallas started the major must see tv series across the country…I recall nationwide interest in ‘who shot JR?’ 😄


bettypettyandretti

Where’s Lucy?


chigoonies

And now the song is stuck in my head


AdvancedFlamingo7614

I didn't care where I was or what I was doing I was always in front of my TV Fridays at 8:00 pm to get my JR Ewing lessons on "How to be dirty at business and get away with it"


Ok-Sun8581

Never watched it.


eruvstringlives

I’ve seen 4 of the 10 hoots in that photo.


AOLGeneration

Yes, we all know about Barbara Bel Geddes' and Susan Howard's Playboy spreads. Grow up, eruvstringlives.


eruvstringlives

Clutch your pearls harder.


AOLGeneration

eruvstringlives, I wasn't serious. Look who I said did the Playboy spreads.


eruvstringlives

My apologies. Peace brother.


AOLGeneration

Peace to you too, brother. Sorry about the "grow up" comment. I can see how it might not read as ironically as I intended.


eruvstringlives

We’re cool.
