"Here's to original sin" Jock Ewing was a man's man!

Jock was BAD ASS

This is the 1 & only time that I've ever seen black people on Dallas!!

My grandfather was the spitting image of Jock Ewing, ran the family the same way. I love watching these clips picturing the old man.

Yes! Tilly was enjoying talking to Jock and why wouldn't she. Although she probably knew The Story like so many other folks, it was great to hear the story from The Horse's Mouth.. She was also very smart. She didn't "Drink" like Jock did. I'm telling you when a person gets some Cocktails "Loose Lips Sink Ships". I'm surprised that The Glass didn't break when Jock Toasted her with it.

Unlike a lot of shows, Dallas first season is excellent. Smooth, acting is great. Nuanced, not as mechanical as some television can be and were in the time.

Jim Davis was born to play Jock Ewing. Wish he could've been here a little longer. RIP

In The New Dallas they could have had Tilly's Granddaughter or even Seth Foster's Grandson be on the show who have a History with The Ewings. Jock was very honorable, he found OIl on Seth Foster's Land and although he could have cheated him out of it he did the honorable thing.

It's nice to see the old Dallas agen

One of The Writers felt really bad about that. In The Book "Dallas" by Lee Raintree The Mexican Staff were smirking when Jock & Miss Ellie got married, becuase they knew the real reason why. Jock wanted to Hire Blacks instead but Miss Ellie said "No!" They could have worked in The Typing Pool, been a Teacher to Lucy, They could represent Chicago's Offices. Anything was possible.
