@@TT_1221 haha actually in the early seasons cliff was hardly at southfork...but as it went on he seemed to go there a bit more for barbaques and wedding . Dont forget his sister lived there and his nephew so he did have family connection there . The first time we see him go there was halfway through the second season of dallas when bobby got kidnapped for ransom.
@@TT_1221 Cliff was only there for BBQ'S and other public events . Thats hardly every weekend and evening he spent most of his JR free time eating Chinese takeaways .
when Dallas was drafted Bobby was supposed to be the central Ewing, with the story focused around him marrying a Barns (Romeo and Juliet). JR was just a wider member of the family who flung inappropriate comments at Pam over dinner. I guess Hangman didn't fully read the script.
Lisa M Yes you noticed too ! Today you are considered as a drunkard and It's right from my point of view. Men before didn't want to admit that alcohol was not good for health. A real man might drink as a man and that's all. My dad was a real french man who drank his glass of wine eating his meal. A soft drink is not so much better. Some water ! There is no better like that for your body.
@Dauda András Bourbon, not Whiskey, Dauda. The problem is that Larry was drinking his Bourbon glasses for real. He was not drunk but it's not good for health anyway.
WHO shot JR? THAT was the summer of 1980. THAT is all you ever heard until September. It was on every mag cover, it was the subject of every talk show host, it was the running question even if you never watched a single second of Dallas. It was the greatest tv ad campaign to have ever filled the people's heads.
The rivalry between J. R. Ewing and Cliff Barnes is the greatest rivalry in the history of television! The two of them hated each other so much, and tried everything they could to beat the other one and destroy each other!
Larry"s ad libbing was fantastic. How he could turn a serious scene and then turn it into a comic moment which came natural to him was genius. Then again he was genius enough to go from the likeable Major Tony Nelson into a complete villain in JR with seamless transition. How a nice person can play an evil part is genius.
Super Firmino , because Larry Hagman was a tremendous actor. He was nothing like the JR Ewing character in real life, but he made you feel as if they were one and the same.
Chemdawg2009 That's what I was getting at. It was genius how he could switch. Tony Nelson was closer to Larry's personality that JR was. He was so gifted that you actually believed JR was that evil.
Chances are that Larry Hagman was pleased to see a familiar face when Ken Kercheval arrived in Heaven on Easter 2019: "Well now, old friend, so glad to see you. It's been real lonely up here."
@@redmen801 : Yeah, Cliff was certainly not a good man at all. He was just way less skilled at being a villain than JR was. Mostly, no matter how hard he tried, Cliff was mostly incompetent at being a villain. Cliff was also vengeful, obsessive, greedy, power hungry, selfish, manipulative, vindictive, and oft times incompetent at business and his relationships. He betrayed his mother, his sister Pam, and basically drove away every lover in his life with his obsessive and selfish behavior of trying to always top the Ewings.
JR was the definition of villain. He’d do whatever he had to do to get what he wanted, and he generally was never sorry about the bad things he did, just sorry when he got caught doing it… lol. He was at his ultimate worst ( best ), when he basically drove Edger Randolph to attempt suicide because of JR blackmailing him. Then, without an once of remorse or mercy, JR literally goes to Edger’s hospital bed and tells him that if he ever attempts suicide again, he’ll still expose Edgar’s secret away, as to destroy his memory and his family. JR was the best villain in TV history. At least I can not think of a better one. Not even close.
It wasn't that much of a character change. Yes Larry made JR a believable villain and JR was evil but he was a smiling assassin. There were comedic elements thrown in which was natural for Larry as he was a comedic actor. A genius like him made it seem less and could add humour to it.
Clif Barnes' problem was that his mouth was too big! He gets a good deal going and then has to blabber to JR to prove how clever he is. All the time giving JR ever more time and incentive to gain the upper hand later on.
JR: Cliff, you have succeeded in becoming the perfect failure. LAUGHABLE! You need some money, I have four million dollars, and you have no cents. That's again hilarious.
Seeing all of these confrontations one would never know how good of friends they really were and how all of them really liked each other. Those two could really act. Larry actually was a major support for Ken when he got lung cancer and Ken was there for Larry when he got his liver transplant. Both of them quit everything, drinking and smoking and were almost like each other's "sponsors" and kept each other in line. Either he or Larry ever said an unkind thing about each other, though Larry got irritated when the cast would talk about what a good guy he was because he thought that people were supposed to hate him. Ken was actually close to Jim Davis too and saw him in his coma the night right before he died. He still cries about it when he was asked about it. I guess it's always great when a cast of people are so close and together like they were because not all tv series such as this has people who like/love and care about each other like they did. Hell, many families function worse than this.
I have read many times that Ken & Larry were good friends but Hagman,Gray,Duffy were ALL besties n celebrated holidays together n met up for lunch/dinner frequently after the show ended (can't recall if it was the 1st of every month or qtrly)....Once the show ran the "who shot Jr" storyline, Dallas officially became the "Larry Hagman show" causing resentment among mny of the cast members ( Bel Geddes & Hagman were cordial but not friends) Victoria Principle has stated publicly more than once that, from the start, she considered the entire cast to be very good people but her relationship never deviated from professional to personal
There were such great night time soaps on network TV in the late 70's and 80's. Dynasty, Falcon Crest, Knotts Landing. Not to mention Dallas. Then the Networks got the idea to do tacky "reality" shows (cheaper to produce).
Redd Head i love major Nelson, i dream of jeannie was more physically comedy, they had major healey as the funny j.r Ewing love his southern accent voice and charm
I love Dallas. Very good daytime soap in the 80s. JR was a great character. The rivalry between his nemesis is hilarious and great to see. JR always appeared to get the upper hand.
That was the plot. Miss Ellie was dating Cliff's Dad and Jock stole her away. Where the feud began. Jock & Barnes and then JR & Cliff. (Cliff's Dad became a drunk after Miss. Ellie left him for Jock.)
I was born and raised in Texas and my family was in the oil business back in the 70s and 80s we had a very good life a nice home lots of new cars money to spend whenever we wanted
Ken Kerchival and BBG...Miss Ellie had a nice may/ december flirtation and respected one another. She was so dear to Ken, he had a picture of her next to his bedside to the day he died.
I love JR but I like the way you put these videos together, JR came from being in the dumps in the first scene, and hes back up to speed (LOL) by the end, with his comments flinging at Barnes, one after another
Back when there was no cellphones or social media. When you wanted to talk your shit, you went right to that person.
It was also a lot easier to filter the stand-up guys from the spineless wimps. Back then, when a man had something to say, he said it to his opponent's face. Nowadays, everyone's a freaking keyboard warrior.....

"Frisk him on the way out, I dont want to lose anymore ashtrays." F****** classic!!
One of my favorite shows and actors of all time! Thanks for posting!
Larry Hagman was an acting MASTER. Funny in one scene and Dark and Venomous in another
OUTSTANDING!!!!!!
Nobody else could've played J.R. Larry set the bar too freaking high!👌🏽
Both JR (Hagman) n Cliff (Kercheval) were not only great actors but they were 2 well dressed gentlemen
Makes me wanna get a 3 piece suit. Lol
@Reginald Dove he'll yeah
R.I.P Ken Kercheval
There was a time back in the late 1990s particularly whenever I wore a suit and tie I would wear cowboy boots. Just like JR and Bobby did on Dallas.
JR , Bobby and cliff well dressed men on Dallas
Great stuff. Larry Hagman was just brilliant as JR. I think he was the central character in the show Dallas.
when Dallas was drafted Bobby was supposed to be the central Ewing, with the story focused around him marrying a Barns (Romeo and Juliet). JR was just a wider member of the family who flung inappropriate comments at Pam over dinner. I guess Hangman didn't fully read the script.
Especially when Jock died
He "was dallas:😊
I love it how they keep barging into each other's offices.
Haha how many imes do we see tha in the show...with the secretary running in after one of them and saying " I'm sorry sir he just barged right in"
Should have had bouncers on the door instead of secretaries.
JR-Barnes confrontations are legendary and some of them even funny.
I dont know how Hagman shortned his words when hes really pissed. It shows pain and anger at the same time. What an actor
When drinking all day was socially acceptable.
Still is here in Scotland:-)
At least a 3 or 4 Martini Lunch.
And offices had ashtrays.
Lisa M Yes you noticed too !
Today you are considered as a drunkard and It's right from my point of view.

Always a good thing when two rivals hash it out and still can make TV great to watch. Bring back clean television again.
It is of course no surprise for someone to want 'clean' tv back again and then praise the immorality of the above!
