I can remember when small , my family getting all our favourites food , everyone talking about it the BBC announcement saying something what everyone has been waiting for, or something ,because people forget it was cancelled because of a strike in the USA or something and the BBC news showed the episode had security guard bringing the tapes of the new series of Dallas at Heathrow airport.

What Linda Gray said at the end, it was the right time in the 80s and fascination and it was the bright colour and clothes . and freshness of a different TV series that wasn't a TV detective series of the 1970s from USA ,it was about family and oil ,
This was on the night before my Wedding. We had the rehearsal dinner at out new apartment. Our apartment was 2,floors, so we had the T V, taken upstairs; and we all watched Who Shot J. R. Which is what our rehearsal dinner turned into The Who Shot J R Party. I thought it was Quite humors; and definitely unique. Thanks J R, you became part of my Wedding.
I had two friends with the last name of Ewing. When they traveled to Europe for business, when airport personnel saw their name, they thought they were related to the show! It really was a world wide phenomenon
@@1927su i still went out right after. I would put my makeup and my aqua net hairspray n will go out on dates or with my girlfriend. I had my hair like the ladies on the show. Big. 😆 I only wished i still have lots if hair like back then.
JR was the best villain ever and Larry Hagman was such a brilliant actor portraying him, as were all the other main characters. Dallas was the highlight of the week.
Wow here in England I remember the year the whole country was obsessed with who shot jr, the tee shirts I shot jr were huge, I was only a kid but never missed an episode me my sister and my mum watched them all, such happy times..❤❤
Biggest cliff hanger of all time. I was 7 years old. I myself didn't see it but I remember my parents, their friends, aunts ,uncles, and my grandparents all talking about it. And if I didn't know better I would've thought they were talking about someone they all knew personally.
I must of been 5 years old and I remember my older cousins talking about it. They were probably 16 to 20 at the time. I'm watching it on hulu since I was too young at the time. Great show
Teddy, I agree with you on the phenomenon of”Who Shot JR” in the summer of 1980. We even debated it in my Boy Scout troop. Remember that summer also had another cultural earthquake. “Luke, I’m your father.” Total mind meltdowns for entertainment fans. I was 11 at the time. What a great summer.
Will never forget the summer of 1980 and the buildup to the revealing of "Who Shot J.R.". Larry Hagman's timing for a new contract was also up and CBS/Lorimar was actually considering replacing him because of his demands for a huge salary increase and profit-sharing. They tested other actors for the role and came to the conclusion that the show would essentially collapse if he left so they agreed to his demands. Mr. Hagman and his wife were also in the UK on holiday that summer and the British were also enthralled by Dallas. A tabloid magazine offered Mr. Hagman ~$100k to reveal the shooter. Mr. Hagman simply didn't know as the writers/producers had taped several different endings with different culprits shooting J.R. so that no one knew which person it was
Which made it worst was the strike in USA which delayed it a bit but I remember all my family excited , and the BBC voice over , saying something like this is what the whole world has been waiting for or something like that . and I was screaming yes yes and the Dallas title humming the titles .it was so electric , l can't describe that feeling ,of watching Dallas at that time when small ,it was like the Coe Vs ovett period , it was this crazyness .
5:30 // Patrick Duffy is 110 % right about how Larry H got screwed by the (academy and for his work on Dallas). neither properly recognized Larry's work or recognized him upon his passing...

I thought it was J.R.'s baby that Kristin was going to have. Then in the storyline she had a miscarriage and lost J.R.'s baby then got pregnant by Jeff Faraday. So the child that became Christopher was Kristin and Jeff's child Bobby and Pam adopted. The who shot J.R. storyline was bigger than life back then, especially with only 4 tv channels in my area to watch.
"...only 4 tv channels..."; a Hollywood strike; no precedent, at least not in nighttime; no social media - a perfect storm for THE cliffhanger, to which all future ones are measured against (e.g. Knots Landing; ST: The Next Generation).
I arrived in Toronto in 1981. Could not speak hardly any English. All I could hear was conversation about who shot JR. I said. Who the is JR? They all looked at me like who is this girl...Well, J.R from Dallas, they said!! Oh boy, did I ever get the whole story and I tell you I heard arguments about who got the story right or wrong. I just sat there in awe watching all those people telling their own version of the story of who shot J.R. I had no clue but I sure witness the impact the story did have on some people. Then, I got hooked myself. LOL. oh well...
I remember a story about Lillian Carter, mother of then President Carter, asking the show producers for the answer to who shot JR because she was afraid she would die before the new season started. Not sure if the story is true, but that was the international hype then long before the Internet and social media.
I live in Germany, was a teenger back then. For the whole time between seasons I wore that big button saying “Who shot JR”. Even strangers came up to me chatting about Dallas. So funny!
I just turned 24, and discovered Dallas from a co worker around two years ago, and I’ve loved the show ever since, I hate I wasn’t around to enjoy it when it came out
In France, we had to wait until autumn 1982, we were 2 seasons behind the US. I still recall the end of Season 3 cliff-hanger episode before that long summer....
When I was a teen, I had a badge saying 'I shot J.R.' Everyone watched it here in Portugal. The series are running again now, original version,in the "Memory Channel'. Great fun.
I'm just watching from the 1st season. In our ex USSR country television started Dallas in 1997.From the 8th season, then 9th and after this 12th. We missed the best part : "Who shot J.R?".
My parents farmed for a living so I felt like I had a lot in common with the tv series Dallas even tho we unfortunately didn’t have oil !! lol. Anyway I loved all the actors and the show!! Especially JR !! lol
We were at a friend's house and my sister was watching it with her friend in another room. They came in running in saying, "J.R. was shot!" My natural response was, of course, "Who shot him?" I might have actually been the first one to say that.
They should continue Dallas with John Ross Ewing the Third and Christopher Ewing! They both carry on their fathers legacy well. I liked they way they were portrayed in the new Dallas series. And Bobby and Sue Ellen could bridge the gap. Ray and Lucy could help to. Also some surprise managing actions from Gary could prove to be interesting!
dont forget Rays child with Donna (she left), or Cally with Jr.s child and even J.R.s first son James Beaumont with Vanessa Beaumont. - I was dissapointed when James didn't show up (or after) at the J.R.'s funeral
@@harperstacey9604I wasn’t impressed with the reboot casting. Casting in ‘78 was done so well, it’s was near perfect! Fast forward to 2012, I think they were looking more for glam. John Ross and Christopher Ewing just weren’t believable to me in the 2012 reboot. The guy from Chicago Fire, Severide, looks like he could have been JR and Sue Ellen’s son.
If anyone remembers Westar that was shown frequently during Dallas' original series run, Westar Energy was an actual power company that served northeast Kansas (KC area) until just a few years ago. I also have seen Ewing trucks sometimes up and down I-35. Turns out Ewing Oil is a real company based out of Dallas (coincidence?).
. I was a child when it was on, I believe a baby born when Dallas was born. I don't remember exactly when Dallas first aired. But I was a Nov 1978 baby. One thing that disappointed me with the show watching the re runs. Sadly Jim Davis died after season 4 or 5. In season 10 the had an opportunity to bring back the character of Jock Ewng. The story line was perfect, I was saddened to hear a bunch of the fans were dead sent a
Great show first 8 seasons were outstanding. Season 9 was dreadful. Season 10 was a vast improvement, but clearly there were some instances in which Dallas “Jumped the shark” for the rest of its run.
It always makes me laugh when the cast say they didn’t know. When they aired The Who shot JR revelation, that aired in November 1980, they were filming scenes that would air in February 1981.
@@trevorn9381 yes. When they filmed those scenes of them pulling the trigger. That didn’t last long though, as they filmed the episode of Kristen being the shooter well before the season premiere aired, in November 1980. By the time it aired, they were filming episodes that would air in early 1981.
uhm... like a remake or continuing from the last TNT episode with the original Cast. There was once a plan to make a movie remake with John Travolta as J.R.
We were in high school at the time when the Who Shot J.R.? storyline came about. We were all speculating who did it.I was the one who guessed the right culprit.
I own ALL of the Dallas mini series and I am watching them at moment. I'm on season 10 episode 25 now Cliff is visiting Mary the girl who was with Jamie when she got killed rock climbing. Dallas is ALWAYS #1
Larry Hagman was one the best TV Actors there has ever been. He made the role of JR his own. He could never be replaced in that show. God bless him.
In the summer of 1980 Lorimar Productions (that produced Dallas) actually auditioned other actors to take over from Mr. Hagman (including Robert Conrad) as they didn't want to submit to his contract demands.

No one tops Larry Hagman can you imagine him in Succession as Logan Roy he would be phenomenal.
Greatest cliffhanger ever!!! The shot heard around the world!! 👍😁

I was pregnant with my son in 1980 when JR was shot. I had this shirt that had I shot JR on it. I knew it was Kristen. And I was right.

They really did the casting in Dallas in the early days was spot on.
Larry Hagman Brilliant actor. He was so watchable. Sadly missed. JR was a superb character.
David Jacobs,Thank You For Dallas & Knots Landing, Best Shows Of All Time,In My Opinion
JR was the best villain ever and Larry Hagman was such a brilliant actor portraying him, as were all the other main characters. Dallas was the highlight of the week.
Dallas was and still is the only tv show that had the whole world on the edge, with " Who shot J.R. Ewing.
Wow here in England I remember the year the whole country was obsessed with who shot jr, the tee shirts I shot jr were huge, I was only a kid but never missed an episode me my sister and my mum watched them all, such happy times..❤❤
Even the Queen Mother was reportedly questioning the cast when they were in the UK for promotional tour & asked 'Who shot J.R.'
The "who shot J.R." storyline is all people were talking about throughout the summer.
Biggest cliff hanger of all time. I was 7 years old. I myself didn't see it but I remember my parents, their friends, aunts ,uncles, and my grandparents all talking about it. And if I didn't know better I would've thought they were talking about someone they all knew personally.

This show was the best of all time
They should have made Lucy and Pam Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders
Incredible summer of who shot JR in England.
Eh? Everybody got that coffee mug with the writing "I shot JR/that SOB!" back in the 80s and 90s. Even in my wee south east asian country 😂😂😂
That is fantastic and beautiful to see them
Imagine had the internet been around. I remember this as a kid
ALSO AT THE HOSPITAL JOCK SAID THAT JR WAS SHOT 3 TIMES WHEN KRISTIN SHOT HIM TWICE
I knew nothing about cliffhangers at the time so when JR was shot, I thought it was the end of the series.
My original guess at the time was Sue Ellen's Psychiatrist, figured he fell in lover with her and wanted JR gone.
To me Larry Hagman will always be Tony Nelson from I dream of Jeanie.
I drove my parents nuts during Friday night dinner telling them we had to get home in time to watch Dallas! 😂🤪
They don’t make them like that no more

We were in high school at the time when the Who Shot J.R.? storyline came about. We were all speculating who did it.I was the one who guessed the right culprit.
A lot of older folks I know thought that JR plotted the scheme HIMSELF and tried to frame his wife 🤣🤣🤣🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️
Then in the reboot who shot JR .... was JR (he had some one shoot him) health reasons but he in JR fashion set up cliff
👍 JR Ewing
They showed JR shooting JR.
Biggest cliff hanger of all time. People wrote songs about it. Goofy songs but they were still songs.
There was one in the Netherlands.
Kristen regular angel of mercy
I own ALL of the Dallas mini series and I am watching them at moment. I'm on season 10 episode 25 now Cliff is visiting Mary the girl who was with Jamie when she got killed rock climbing. Dallas is ALWAYS #1

I guessed right that it was Kristen.
J.R. was Mr. Burns mixed with Tony Soprano. One of the greatest TV villains of all time.
Kristin shot JR? Great, thanks for ruining the ending for me,😎
