during the OG CBS run there was probably a little bit of black and then a commercial break. i do agree going hot into the credits is *very* jarring tho lol

I realize the popularity of the show kind of faded in the later years, but Dallas to me will always be an iconic tv show. There wasn't a show on tv like it before it was on tv or after it went off the air. Of course there were other soaps (Knots Landing, etc.), but Dallas was completely over the top. This show was king in it's day. Great memories of Friday nights as a kid, then getting up Saturday morning watching cartoons for four hours. Hard to believe this episode aired 25 years ago yesterday.

This final scene scared the wits out of me when I first saw it as a kid. Only to watch JR return several years later. What a way to end the series: a cliffhanger!

I grew up watching Dallas with my mom & aunt. It was never miss tv. We started watching during the first season when the episodes weren’t tied together as they’d be later. In the mid 80’s we drifted away. Just lost interest. Mom & I watched this finale though. Hadn’t seen Dallas in years. We both looked at each other and said “I miss watching this show.” It was so comforting to see again.

This ending has a big bit of Twin Peaks in itself. Almost the whole (double) episode takes part in an unreal, surrealistic world, and the final scene is about a mirror, just like in that series. :)

The “Conundrum” cliffhanger wasn’t resolved until 1996, with the Dallas made for TV movie reunion, “Dallas: J.R. Returns.” It was revealed in the beginning of the movie that J.R. had not, in fact, shot himself, but he had instead shot the mirror where the spirit “Adam” was appearing to him.

Yes that was pretty much an editing mistake but judging the true character of Jr there's no way he would have gone out that way. So the analogy of him shooting the mirror thinking he was shooting the devil according to the reunion movie Jr returns, makes a lot of sense in my opinion

My parents let me stay up past my bedtime on Friday nights so I could watch this with them, so I was very sad when the show ended.

I always loved the theme music to Dallas.

Though Dallas lost me after the dream season I stuck with the series and Tele-movies. What is interesting when I watch these final episodes is my memories sitting with my grandmother watching them as my local TV station stopped screening Dallas. She lived in an area where her local TV station still screened it and she would tape them for me. She was the first I knew who purchased a video recorder as they were so expensive. Times have changed.

I like how dramatic the music is in this scene.

I watched this alone in my room as a 10-year old. It was strange because Dallas was something I'd always watched in the presence of adults. Perhaps that spoke to the decline of the series in the popular consciousness. But the episode was pretty big news--I'd heard about it on the radio before it aired, for example, so I knew the basic plot going in and it was clear that the world still cared about the ending of the show. The episode is really a tour de force, I find it a huge downer on one hand, but it was intense and the cliff-hanger finale was no let-down.

This ended up getting shown on Sunday early afternoons on BBC 1(the last season) in the UK. That's one of the reasons why the ratings were so bad. I only knew about this being the last episode from a newspaper TV listings. Utterly surreal ending. The whole "It's a Wonderful Life" or "Scrooge" homage(which has been done in many other TV and films - "Moonlighting" did it).

Let’s say this was a cliffhanger to end all cliffhangers. All because this was the final episode of Dallas.

I know that at the time the origional series ended, it was claimed that CBS made the decision to cancel the show while this episode was in post-production and they didn't see it coming. However, honestly how would they have explained away this cliff-hanger if the show had returned for another season. And so far, they've only briefly mentioned this even in passing in the new series.

Great cliffhanger

25 years ago tonight.

Loved all the episodes, Linda grey playing in one of our soaps, great. susan

In the way it ended, I wonder how many people, in real life, actually has to confront their selves in the mirror that way.

jr shots the mirror in the end, leaving an opened ending to this last show . when Dallas made a return to tv briefly jr was still alive. its like Joel is so handsome in this show.

To those who claim Bobby stared downwards Most likely Bobby gazed at the broken mirror shards, then at J.R. with pistol in hand muttering about the Devil and definitely alive. Several years later, cue the reunion movie. P.S. Yes, I figured J.R. shot at the mirror instead of himself.

Dallas the 14th and final season is schedule to be released in Jan.2011 if the date doesn't changed.

A lot of people don't like this episode, but I do. It was a takeoff on "It's a Wonderful Life." Too bad Donna Reed, who played Miss Ellie when Barbara Bel Geddes left for a season, had passed away by the time this first aired. Though the best seasons were the early ones when Jim Davis was alive, the show was highly watchable right to the end. The best way to see this series is on DVD and binge watching it from beginning to end. I bought the entire series and have spent this summer watching it. I only watched it a little bit when it originally aired. I am near the end of the 14th and last season. It was still a lot of fun to watch. I enjoy the in-jokes on this show including the final season. Larry Hagman's "I Dream of Jeannie" costar Barbara Eden appearing in several episodes, one episode showing the name of Leslie Moonves, then head of Lorimar and later CBO of CBS, as having a breakfast appointment with Carter McKay in McKay's appointment book, still made the series a lot of fun.

This reminds me so much of an episode of the updated version of “The Twilight Zone” 1985-89. Interesting enough it came on the same night as “Dallas.” Friday nights, I do declare.

It seems those aren't considered part of the Dallas "canon" officially, so in essence they are like the '85 "dream" season. However, as I've mentioned elsewhere, I wouldn't consider them quite as insignificant, as there are elements within them that may be worked into the current plotlines or used in some form. For one, in the '96 movie, it's mentioned that Cliff had a daughter with Afton Cooper, Pamela Rebecca Barnes, whom I suspect may be Rebecca in the new series, and thus Cliff's daughter.
