+ybrix101 it's always best to be honest & be good to others & yourself. JR was very evil & crooked. he even tried to mess w/ Bobby. however they're brothers & they stuck together till the end of the series.
David Chan yea. JR was crooked and evil. but i don't think he hated anyone. he just wanted everyone in their proper place according to him. bobby married to jenna wade, gary in california, pam married to mark, etc.
I loved this, Bobby winning at the 13th hour, and you could tell Harv was pleased with the outcome although I believe he would have been happy with Bobby double crossing JR since JR was about to do the same to him.
After watching this, I've realized that John Ross and the TNT new 'Dallas' can't even hold a CANDLE to the original. JR Ewing is the greatest, evil, manipulative, caddy villain in the history of Television!!!
I thought the same but after i gave it a fair chance i thought the writing, storyline and acting were not half bad...the storylines match 2014....even though they focused more on the younger generation had larry hagmen lived he would have clearly stole the show...in any case ratings tanked after he died...show is now cancelled.....long live dallas!!!!
I tried to watch the new Dallas too, but not only did it fall flat, but I hated the way they changed Cliff's character into a man driven by revenge at all costs. Because by the original series conclusion, he had given up on revenge and was a changed man. Which was all laid out in that wonderful scene between him and Miss Ellie in the park.
I like the new Dallas! They didn't give it a chance. John Ross was still developing his character to match his dad. But they cancelled the show to quick!!
I loved this show!! I still watch the old episodes sometimes. JR was always up to something. It's not over between these 2 brothers yet after this episode it always happened this way in this show they kept the rivalry going between those two.
Bobby's love for Jock was subtle and basic it was not in your face like JR's "my daddy this my daddy that" "Ewing this Ewing that" this scene and the scene in the bypass episode where Bobby tells Pam about what Jock means to him shows his love for his daddy.
@@jeffreygranger6913 Oh you are the creative SOB aren't you? Another keyboard warrior who'd get his stupid, ugly ass kicked by 99.9 percent of the population. For the record, I would let JR or Jock fuck me but not a libtard like Bobby Ewing or Gary Ewing. He can have that piss poor actress Victoria Principal who couldn't act her way out of a paper bag. You two belong together, assfuckinghole.
Because once the contest was over gary inherited 10 percent of Ewing oil and at that time the company was worth around a billion dollars so at 10 percent gary had 100 million dollars
Now see if Jr would have won he wouldn't have shared the company. He was about say something to that effect before that guy came in with the Canadian deal information.
Bobby was never a looser. J.R. Was the Looser of the family. He always wanted father’s approval, in everything, something Bobby never had to fight for he always had it in him. Jocks favorite son was always is Bobby.
You can see the reactions of Punk and Harve after Bobby is presented with the cheque. They weren't smiling until Bobby produced his 'stoppage time' profit!
Like I said in another post, if you look up "Sore Loser" in the dictionary, there'd be two pictures. One of _(FORMER)_ President Donald Trump (as pointed out to me in a reply to my original post), and the other of J.R. Ewing!
I'll say one thing. Bobby certainly came a long way. About Four Years Ago he was The "Company "P@mp!" and JR didn't make it easy for him to transition to being a Businessman at Ewing Oil then he beats "Big Brother" at his own Game. You Go Bobby!
yeah, well that was the writers who did that and it was a pipe dream. A sissy like Bobby would get eaten alive in the real world. When Jock died, this series should've ended since it was unwilling to let JR become the main man of Ewing Oil.
@@divyadijay2709 not necessarily. Bobby arc is similar to Michael corleone . Youngest brother who waa naive and didn't want to get involved with the family business, had an older brother who ran the business but was headstrong and another brother that was weak like fredo and Gary. Big brother gets shot and youngest brother gets pulled into the business and takes over . Unlike godfather oldest brother survives so there is a battle after the old man dies. Bobby blackmails , steals , frames people, destroys lives and turns into the evil older brother and the father
@@willisapril Exactly! That was the whole point of Their Relationship. Patrick Duffy & Larry Hagman acknowledged that on The Dallas TV Special. In future years we've seen Siblings fight for control of a Company like on Guiding Light, The Young & The Restless and even The Bold & The Beautiful.
JR was the jealous brother who only thought of himself. Conclusion , he & Bobby stayed & loved each other all the way to the end. Dallas was one of my favorites. Too bad it only lasted thirteen seasons.
As much as I always thought JR should have had control of Ewing Oil, Bobby had to win and honor Jock’s wishes. By doing so, it would allow Dallas to continue. If JR won then the Bobby character would be useless. They needed to split the company so the rivalry and drama would continue. Great way to end the battle of Ewing Oil! I miss this show
The Bobby character WAS useless. A total wimp in the business world but a bully to anyone that opposed him. I couldn't stand him, his dumb fuck wives and wimpy ass "son" Christopher.
@Alexander L Yeah, on a soap opera. In the real world, JR would've destroyed Bobby and his naivety like all ruthless businessmen do to amateurs. The only thing Bobby could do better than JR was be a bully and marry women that were absolutely horrific actresses. Pam, Jenna, April for starters and the dumb shit he was married to in the Dallas reboot on TNT. JR always got the hotter women so in the biggest battle of all, JR always won.
No, I would have let JR win, freeze Bobby out and now that would have let to two years of Bobby fighting his way back in. Eventually he would have, but he woulda sold his soul. Besides it would have set a three way battle between JR, Bobby & Cliff for control of Ewing Oil.
When I watched Dallas it was Friday nights on CBS. 8pm was The Incredible Hulk, 9pm was The Dukes of Hazzard and 10pm was Dallas. When The Incredible Hulk was moved to Wednesdays for the remainder of its last season (1981-82), then it was The Dukes of Hazzard at 8pm and Dallas at 9pm with Falcon Crest moving into the 10pm slot. *Edit - It looks like Dallas jumped around a bit in its 1st and 2nd season. The 1st season was only 5 episodes (April 1978) and aired Sunday at 10pm. The first 4 episodes of season 2 (Sept/Oct 1978) aired Saturday at 10pm. Episodes 5-15 in season 2 went back to Sunday at 10pm. Then episode 16 of season 2 (January 26, 1979) is when it went to Friday nights and stayed there for the rest of the series (May 3, 1991). It did jump back and forth a bit from 10pm to 9pm but the majority of the run was Friday night at 9pm basically seasons 4 -13.
MrCraigblaze while not my favorite season, I have to tip my hat to you in regards to the film stock used. Most people never notice. I saw the difference immediately and that was in the fall of 1983.
Thorton went on to become the Athletic Director of Minnesota State. He was instrumental in their football program winning a national championship by hiring Hayden Fox as their head coach.
I always got a kick out of The Business Scenes. I remember how awful JR felt when he lost Ewing Oil to Jeremy Wendell and how he managed to keep his head high for John Ross's Sake, and took his Daddy's Portrait Home.
J R was a scoundrel! He was willing to be the winner but when he found out he lost...he started working on Bobby's sense of family and saying 'we're together just like daddy wanted'...Ugh!
Me too. I wish it could have lasted forever. It's just too bad later on that so many had left the show later on. Dallas just wasnt the same without Susan Howard, Victoria Principal, Steve Kanaly, Linda Gray and Barbara Bel Geddes.
@@TheChain2011 Barbara Bel Geddes and Linda Gray stayed until I think the last season. It was great how strong and independent and successful Sue Ellen became. And thankfully Patrick Duffy stuck around this time. Any scene with him and JR was always great.
I actually thought this was perfect. Jock Ewing was trying to teach his sons how important it was for them to work together. J.R. never understood that, and never really did. ... What upset me was the way the writers of the new Dallas decided to ignore what happened in the Dallas movies from 1996 and 1998 and instead pick up where the show ended in 1991, as if the Dallas movies never occurred.
I love the Dallas movies and their plots. The Dallas movies represent the best ending possible for the Ewing family and J.R. Ewing.... J.R. may not have ended up with Ewing Oil, but he knows John Ross will get his share from Sue Ellen some day. ... And J.R. controlled West Star Oil, so J.R. was actually more powerful than ever. ... The new Dallas show was disappointing the way it ignored that plot, and instead said J.R. was in the hospital and speechless for 20 years because Barnes beat him.
Thank you very much,TheNewMrsEwing, for uploading this interesting video so that we can see it again very soon. Please have a nice weekend today. ™ September 02, 2023 @ 9:05 pm ™
My family had fun watching this series when I was teenager with big teeth. Mostly we were sighing cause so much scripted trouble was going on. But every time Pamela came into view we said "Paaaaaaamelaaaaaaa together" and laughed. Yeah .... was fun ....
JR has always only had one weakness, and thats Bobby Ewing. He can intimidate anybody by force but he could never rough shot anything over on Bobby his youngest brother.
Grew up with the German dub and could never enjoy Hagman’s real voice after that. As always, the German voice actors were brilliant (same for Al Bundy in Married With Children).
The disappointment on Bobby's face after JR backed out of the agreement cannot be anymore obvious and telling. There is some hurt in there also, as if the hope for a fruitful, meaningful partnership between the brothers simply faded.
@@sweetjrewing5435 You're out your rabbit ass mind, Jr was a big talker who couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag & Sue Ellen was a drunk who was a gold digger, The Show was originally about Bobby & Pam but the JR character was too popular. Well as popular as he was when Bobby was killed ratings went down, So they couldn't survive without each other.
@@sweetjrewing5435 You sound more bitter than J.R. himself! This scene was just the type unnumbered viewers of Dallas would wait for; because it meant J.R.'s ego took the bruisin' it was cruisin' for!
This was a great storyline. It spawned a lot of other subplots such as Bobby and Pam's marriage on the rocks, JR scheming with Holly Harwood and Walt Driscoll, and many more. Only thing I didn't like was Bobby and Pam ultimately getting a divorce. On the brink? Yes. But the tension at South Fork the Barnes/Ewing marriage brought was a staple for the show.
"Good work, Bobby! Now, if you'll just sign these little ol' papers, don' mean nothin', we're still brothers, after all." "Uh, sure, JR, whatever you say......."
Jovauhn Garcia Steve Forrest would have been perfect. or at least Him as Jason ewing. Jason could have filled the void, still be a Ewing male to spar with Bobby and JR.
Yes, they even wanted The Late Phil Carey (Ex-Asa Buchanan) from One Life To Live to play Jock but it wouldn't have worked. Fans are very devoted and staunch about seeing someone else playing a part.
funny as hell JR saying he was not a sore loser. Yes he was. he has allways wanted to run Ewing Oil on his own and not share it with anybody. even if it means going against Jocks wishes to share the company.
Yes. Remember in the first Two Episodes JR made it difficult for Bobby to learn the Business properly. To a Degree JR was right that Bobby didn't put in a fraction of work that he did but then Bobby had Jock's Love Unconditionally while JR felt he could only have his Daddy's Love if he bought in Multi Million Dollar Deals.
also JR felt Bobby couldn't run the bussiness in a fair manner. JR was always willing to cut corners and cheat to make Ewing Oil a success . bottom line Bobby was to much a nice guy and not willing to do what it took to be successfull in bussiness. at least in JR.s mind.
There's also the fact that Bobby was always the darling, ever since he was born. The favoritism was always there. So there was always some resentment involved. Still, they loved each other as brothers did, despite getting on each other's nerves so much.
Exactly. Even when Bobby "Died" JR was heartbroken. When Ray & Gary offered to help run the business JR pretty much told them to "Get Lost!" cruel as it was, but neither one of them had an entitlement. JR put Gary #1 in Business then played by David Ackroyd but he cracked like an Egg under the pressure and Ray was more of a Rancher/Cowboy and didn't have the "Toughness" JR had when making Multi-Million Dollar Deals. I don't even think Ray set foot in The Cattleclub for Lunch.
JR Ewing stuck up for the Ewing name and fought those hostile to the business. Vader was more evil, killing children and exterminating the jedi. Neither guy should ever get "father of the year" nominations.
Darth Vader is the clear choice here, its not even up for debate. sure JR has done some bad stuff but he did it because of threats to his bussiness or family, and not even then has any of those bad stuff come close to what darth has done
I have no idea, I've never watched the childish shit Star Wars movies, all 200 hundred of them and never will. Only people with brains the size of rice kernels watch that garbage.
Jr was the oldest son he should have been made president of the company. Jock should have made Jr the president and Bobby directly under him and had a system of checks and balances put in place so Jr wouldn't go completely out of control.
Amateur who acquired a refinery when JR never came close to getting one and after he made that acquisition, Jock was so impressed he decided to make him permanent president of Ewing oil... Be quiet ya big dope...
What was always interesting was JR and Bobby would have 35% each and the other 30% went to Miss Ellie, Gary and Ray. You would think JR would have tried to get Gary and Ray's shares like he did the voting shares that way he would own 55% and could get rid of Bobby
JR tried to get out of that agreement to share the company equally when he had won, then of course wanted to stick to it once he realised he had lost... But that's not how life works, if you play that way, you've got to be able to take it back when it doesn't go your way. In any case, I wonder though if JR would really have forced it and followed that through? Or was he just trying to get out of it but would have backed down later and would that hand-written letter had stood up in court? Also, I don't get sth - the original typed will stated that Ewing Oil would just be divided equally but then the hand-written letter stated the contest. As JR had won the contest, why did Punk ask: "What about the letter?" JR had won the contest as the letter had stated??
dt1111able In the letter, winner got 51, loser 18, and the rest equally divided up by Ellie. JR was counting on Bobby leaving if he won, as his marriage was wrecked.
Me and my brother (Paco) Sean Waters owns the ministry. But I'm president and have total ownership. I will never let my little brother go without.Never.
Jr loved bobby...they just suffered from sibiling rilvary....he was wanted to be president n owner of ewing oil to show his daddy who was the stonger man but he would have never let bobby go without. And in spite of Jock's letter...Jock lived by a creed that only the stongest survives...he nvr respected gary because he did not stand up to JR and turned to the bottle...in jock's eyes he was weak.......after jock died they turned him into saint jock...alot of what JR. learned he learned from his father. when bobby was out sewing his wild oates...JR was in the fields working n learning from his daddy....
Bobby wasn't "sewing his wild oats." Bobby was the field man for Ewing Oil. He helped Ewing Oil with the dirty deals by bribing and blackmailing politicians from Austin to Washington. It was only when he married Pam that Bobby decided to settle down and get an office job at the company.
J.r. was the greatest I have every dvd. He schemed with the women and was good at it. R.i.p. Larry hagman. Aytime he was doing a scheme he alwayswon. I'm watching right now.
Trop souvent nous sous estimons notre prochain et nous nous trompons bien souvent. C'est une bonne leçon pour ceux qui croient tout savoir et tout connaître ...la justice.
