And to think that Robert Foxworth lamented about losing out on the role of JR to Larry Hagman. I can't see Foxworth doing justice to the JR character. However, Hagman had some guest starring roles in TV series that got him prepped for the JR character. Check out the previous TV characters he played in Police Story; The Streets of San Francisco; and Barnaby Jones . . .they were all variations of the JR character . . . charming when he had to be, but underneath, scheming and conniving.

J.R. just dropped the mic!!!

Grew up addicted to this classic (cheers Mum) & RIP these 2 legend's.❤

Cliff Barnes was a selfmade man despite his father being a drunk and his mother deserting him. He graduated from Law School and had a great future for himself. Tragically, he got sucked into the Barnes-Ewing feud over a lie. Digger was not cheated out of Ewing Oil and Miss Ellie by Jock. It was the booze. He wasted his life trying to avenge his father. But, if Barnes hadn't been so consumed with bringing down the Ewings, there wouldn't be a show.

Yes, that got me too. LOL Well, at this point in the series, Barnes kind of was a cheap man. But that was because, at this time J. R. was already very wealthy, while Cliff was at most an upper-middle class lawyer and not a wealthy man. Remember that this was before his mother Rebecca bought him his own oil company. After that, and especially after Cliff hit his off-shore oil strike with Gold Canyon 340, when he narrowly dodged the attempt J. R. made to bankrupt Barnes Wentworth [Cliff's Oil company], Cliff was as rich as J. R. or maybe a little bit richer than J. R. Ewing was!! From that point on in the series, they were pretty much on an evenly matched footing, in terms of their overall wealth, much to J. R.'s chagrin.

I admit as a kid, I didn't get the fascination of this show, but now as I've gotten older, and watching these clips, I now see why my grandparents and my mom loved Dallas . I might try to go rent the first season at the library to see it from the beginning. Once thing though I always liked about Dallas not only when it was on but still now, the theme it sounds happy

Even Pam got feed up with him more than a few times.

I remember watching Dallas every Friday night with my parents, sister and little brother, even though he was way too little to understand. Well, I was 11, but understood some of the issues. The thing I remember he hearing my dad howling with laughter at JR! So proud to be a Texan!!!

Also as much as they wouldn't admit it to each other, JR & Cliff had alot in common. They both had "Complicated" Relationships with their Daddies.

He was The Baby Brother who although tried, couldn't measure up the the achivements of Joe Jr., Jack, or Robert. He probably knew that if his last name wasn't Kennedy he would have had any power. Also the Layout that Cliff admired was similar to the Layout that Phillip Spaulding had on Guiding Light where he was going to revitalize Springfield and make their Family the most powerful.

Oh! What's the matter JR? Sue Ellen cheated on you? You got a taste of your own medicine.

I was hoping in the reboot, John Ross finds out thru a DNA test that he is NOT JR's son; he is really Cliff Barnes' son. When JR and Cliff were fighting over John Ross' paternity and a blood test came back JR as the father, it turns out JR paid the technician to switch the results, and thus JR was really raising Cliff's son, the ultimate revenge against Cliff. It could also explain why John Ross always felt out of place with JR and could relate to Pamela Rebecca, his half-sister

JR’s greatest strength was knowing how hard he could get hit. And he could get hit with a sledgehammer and still walk away.
