I still can't remember who shot JR either

It was me. Just at the crucial moment I pulled my sons cap gun from down the side of my chair where I’d hidden it and shot JR.

My mum and granny who were watching with me were very angry to have missed the tv version of the shooting such was the confusion I caused by shooting him from my living room.

I remember my mum ranting about how many lives JR had. I'm sure she thought it was real life.😂😂😂

I feel old

The best days…

Roselilly36 · 28/09/2022 06:40

😂 yay! Dallas loved it!

NashvilleQueen · 28/09/2022 06:47

It would be brilliant to have it on Netflix.

Namechanger1002 · 28/09/2022 06:48

I was more a Dynasty fan. The alien story was hilarious 😂
And when Linda (?) Carrington had an evil double!
Was there not a Who Shot Alexis too?

Namechanger1002 · 28/09/2022 06:49

Krystal Carrington!

Comfyslippers74 · 28/09/2022 06:50

Oh GOD now I've got the theme tune in my head 😬

They should totally put Dallas and Dynasty on Netflix!

The post I needed today 😄

KrystalStubbs · 28/09/2022 07:11

This brings back such happy memories of watching Dallas with my late mum, we looked forward to it so much each week and even had Who Shot JR mugs Grin Such a big build up to the reveal and when we found out it was Kristen, we both said 'Who?'
The Bobby 'it was all a dream' storyline was so ridiculous!

@Soubriquet bless you

36 years!!!!

This plot line put me off taking any tv series seriously for years....

I wish the past three years of my life were a dream.

Don't we all?

Shortpoet · 28/09/2022 07:33

I remember my mum and her friend discussing it at the time and saying how rubbish it was!

Whiskers4 · 28/09/2022 07:37

😂

FindingMarbles · 28/09/2022 07:41

I've always wondered if this was a complete surprise to the people that watched in... or did you get a heads up via the press that Bobby was coming back? I think this is the only scene I've ever seen from Dallas - must have been reshown in one of those "tvs best moments" threads! It looks crazy!

Now I have that song going round in my head.
Anyone else remember that dreadful song?
I’m sticking a sign in the back of my car?

I was an early teen when Bobby reappeared in the shower 🤣 i think I remember it being in the newspapers before that he was coming back so we were all tuning in ready and waiting for him !!!!
Dallas was huge!!!!!!

This is what I'm hoping for, to explain the last three years.

I'd wipe out most of the last seven years. It all started to go wrong in January 2016 when David Bowie and Alan Rickman died in quick succession. Then Brexit, Trump, Johnson, Covid, Ukraine invaded, and now Trussonomics.

Kristin shot JR.

I thought it was Terry Wogan.

Veeragall · 28/09/2022 07:50

Oh what a memory! I loved Dallas and the anticipation of the next episode, then the theme tune would start up.... fabulous. Victoria Principal was beautiful.

The shower story was utterly ridiculous. After that everyone was confused about everything!

RobertsRadio · 28/09/2022 02:23

Oh Lord I remember this. I used to love Dallas but this was one ridiculous storyline too far and I went off it after Bobby turned up in the shower.

😂I can recall my parents being very annoyed 🤣🤣🤣
