It even child hood memories of those who was in elementary school it has such a high affect on everyone from youth teenagers and senior citizens.

This clip shows how effectively music was used on Dallas to heighten the dramatic effect. If you watch the entire ending of the scene after the music begins playing over JR and Sly the music reaches a crescendo and the episode ends with a freeze frame of JR looking deadly serious. Really powerful ending.

That was a great story line . Sly did what she had to do and being to help her family I'm sure Jr respected that decision

I love this scene. J.R. and Sly had great chemistry together. It was nice to see J.R. had a partner in his crooked schemes. When J.R. ends the episode not smiling you can count on it's one of J.R.'s darkest moments for him as a villain.

I love this as it shows the "nice" side of J.R. we rarely see. He easily could have destroyed Sly, as he has to others for much less. But, Sly's motivation wasn't to help Cliff, or profit for herself, it was for family. She wanted to help her brother out of a jam and was seemingly out of other options. Also, when confronted, she didn't try to lie her way out of it or turn it around on J.R. (a common tactic of people who cross him). She told the truth, apologized (and meant it), and threw herself on the mercy of the court. Even if it hadn't provided an opportunity for J.R. to skewer Cliff, I think he would have still forgiven her.

Since she wasn’t doing it out of greed or revenge motives jr understood too well I don’t think he really considered it a true betrayal - she and jr had a fascinating relationship that was strictly boss and employee for years until until the last season when the writers screwed that up

When she mentioned her brother and how she had to take a chance for him. He respected her. What a conundrum of a character he was.

JR could always turn lemons into lemonade. The only difference is, he spikes it with hemlock! lol

openmind1966 me too. When I was younger I used to be one of them. In fact, Sly and I were probably about about the same age when that was on. I mean early 20s. Very competitive even then so you had to dress for success. I love the guys haircuts back then like Bobby and Ray. On Dallas, Jock had the coolest hair. Now guys do half crew cuts with some of it just sticking out. The guys wore dress jeans over cowboy boots, or even Levy and Lee Jeans. They wore blazers, long sleeve button down with the jeans and sometimes a vest or thin tie. They were really looking good too. Unfortunately nothing stays the same. Yeah, I may have had my ears pierced in 2 or 3 places, but that was it. Don’t remember many girls with Tattoos. I like the music better in the 70s, 80s, and 90s too. Just getting old I guess. Glad some of you agree! Dallas was cool and yep I liked TV better before the millinium changed too.

I’m reading larry hagman’s book..hello darlin. It’s a winner. Hard drinking, taking acid, meeting keith moon.. Brilliant read. Rip to larry and maj, his wife🙏🏻

Watching these videos remind me of how great a show Dallas was, but JR made the show, he was the best!

Larry Hagman was an amazing and skilled actor

Sly had way too much on JR for him to permanently fire her. And he knew that! She covered for him and had a hand in more of his underhanded dealings than anyone else.

Loved jr and slys relationship.

Although it was easy to feel sorry for Cliff Barnes, being the underdog with JR, it's also important to remember that Cliff had his ruthless side as well. He was the one who first approached Sly, threatening to use his connections to prevent her brother's parole from prison.
