In Memory of Larry Hagman, Ken Kercheval & George Kennedy, thanks all so much for your wonderful legacies of a show that'll remain watched for all eternity, see you all at The Crossroads 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Larry Hagman knew from the very beginning how to play this character, which was basically a background character in the original "Dallas" mini-series. He injected just the perfect amount of humour and malevolence into the role. His skill as an actor made J.R. Ewing someone you couldn't take your eyes off (similar to what Henry Winkler did with The Fonz on "Happy Days").
His character was only supposed to be a supporting role in the Dallas reboot series, too. But, producers quickly realized it simply wasn't possible to have J.R. as a supporting role. He was front and center in the reboot. Proof of that was how long the reboot lasted after he passed which wasn't very long. Larry Hagman loved playing J.R. And, his performance was proof of that. Pure brilliance and incredibly convincing in front of the camera.
I couldn't agree more. I miss TV like this especially Dallas. Watching this in the 80s all nice and relaxed and then the theme tune would kick in, then JR at his best, Brilliant.
Well before he said in the tag of the first episode, "I seem to have underestimated the new Mrs. Ewing..." it was clear that JR was the star, an unstoppable force.
Who shot JR, was on the night before my Wedding. We had the rehearsal dinner at our new apartment. The rehearsal dinner, turned into the The Who Shot JR Party. I’ll never forget that party.
Well, I hate to rain on this parade, but Hagman was a horrible person in real life. He cheated relentlessly on his wife, Maj, & had drug/drinking/orgie parties at his house all the time while his 2 small children were there. Twice his very young daughter was molested by his "friends". So, while I hope he's RIP, I kind of doubt it.
I just went to texas and went to southfork ranch as a huge fan of this show it was a thrill. I learned a lot that I didn't know about this show for example Jim Davis wasn't the first choice to play Jock the first choice was non other then John the duke Wayne but he was fighting cancer at the time and told lorimar they should hire his good friend jim Davis who was down on his luck and homeless at the time. interesting fact I never knew.
Leonard Katzman’s last Dallas: JR Returns, lived up to the original series. Katzman died shortly after production finished. Katzman and Larry Hagman, were the driving forces that made Dallas, the greatest drama on TV. I miss those days
LOL! Same old J.R! Age hasn't stopped him any. He may fallen on his ass towards the end of the original series but he bounced back and experienced a resurgence!
I was at Southfork ranch last Friday on my way back from my vacation in New Mexico.Its amazing how they make the ranch look so big on screen when its kinda small acrewise
I'm a huge Marvel comics fan and I enjoy going to comic cons. Saw a guy dressed up as Doctor Doom one year. Great costume, and I told him that Doom was the second greatest bad guy of all time. " Who's the first!? " he demanded " JR Ewing." There was a pause and then he nodded and said " I accept that"
Wonderful memories wish I could watch it all again loved Dallas never missed an episode neither did my mam and dad who like the great man himself JR are no longer here 😢
Lee, if J.R. Ewing were a real person vs a fictional character, he too would attempt to play even me like a fiddle, but I in some way would demonstrate the love of our HEAVENLY✝️🙏🏾FATHER to him.🕯️📖
I have the whole series on DVD its a great show i grew up with this show watching it with my mom every Friday so its worth the money to buy the whole series on DVD there are a total of 14 seasons.
That is great, you watch it with your mother on Fridays. That is the night that the original series was on CBS, from 1978 to 1991. Fridays nights in the 80s. Dukes of Hazzard at 7, Dallas from 8 to 9, and Falcon Crest from 9 to 10PM. This was in the central time zone, I actually lived in Dallas when it was on the air. Before everyone wants to start correcting me. lol......I know, on the East coast Dallas was on at 9. I can't remember accurately, but I think Dallas was on Sunday nights in Season 1 and the mini series.
So do i .have all 14 seasons of dallas.thecast and crew were all so good playing their roles.jr you werr. No.1 in my book What an actor.god bless you. Jr.
Hey listen you know since you mentioned that George Kennedy was Larry hagman's good friend. George Kennedy was the one that tried to get him to stop drinking. No one else tried to get him to stop and it was said that one time he said to Larry Hagman Larry get off the sauce it's going to kill you
@@rumarspencer7302 I went Googled it and I read an article somewhere. George Kennedy was still alive back when Larry Hagman died but he had a couple years left Maybe and in 2012 he was still somewhat functionable I mean he still did acting up the 2016 so he was asked about it and he said you know I told Larry over and over and over not to screw with alcohol and they refer to it as the sauce. Larry Hagman love him they just weren't as close as he was to Patrick but Larry Hagman did appreciate George Kennedy they've known each other a long time
Cliff sells Ewing Oil to Bobby, in a roundabout way J.R. Did get Ewing Oil back. Cliff became richer and J.R. Is still rich. The big loser turned put to be Carter McKay of Weststar in the long run.
Carter McKay got a golden parachute to leave. If JR was buying up Westar stock on the open market, Westar's stock probably got a nice bump and McKay's options were well in the money.
He was one of my favorites not the favorite which is why I didn't like your comment but I don't hate you're coming either. I certainly understand how you could think he was your favorite actor he definitely was a legend in the first time I ever learned about him was ironically on Dallas but what's funny is Larry Hagman was the one that wanted him there. They were very dear friends in real life very very dear friends in real life it was George Kennedy who tried to get Larry Hagman to stop drinking
@@bartkearns1195 I first saw him in Dallas when I was a kid. I always wondered what would've happened if he'd been in Gran Torino instead of Clint Eastwood.
If you grew up watching this show black or white you have hussle all the way through you! We all have plenty of J R Ewing in us & thus is why we love the character roll so much played out by Mr.Larry Hagman....no television show til present day has compared to Dallas...the writers were geniuses.
I love that there are loose connections (George Kennedy, Ted Shackleford, Joan Van Ark) between JR of Dallas and Victor Newman of The Young & The Restless. Shame there was never any sort of a crossover battle there lol.
That was a great show JR was very crafty in the Business knew how to be cagy as well As always be one step ahead of cliff Barns to setting him up with false deals to think he might stand a chance against JR
I remember watching Dallas from the VERY beginning when it was just a pilot from when those men tormented the Ewing women because JR slept with one of they're women to JR getting Weststar RIP Larry Hagman I enjoyed ur JR immensely! There will NEVER be another one!
How big hit was Dallas in the USA back then. I remember when I was kid in Hungary 🇭🇺 the whole country wait for Friday night to watch the new episode of Dallas. In my country it was a huge show. But don’t know how it was in the USA...
Dallas: J.R. Returns is an excellent movie. This was the true ending of the Dallas TV series in my book. The problem with the new Dallas TV series was that it ignored the events of this movie and the Dallas: War of the Ewings movie. I couldn't even understand the new Dallas TV series until I read online that the plots of the two movies had been "ignored" so that the new series picks up where the previous Dallas series left off - with J.R. in a mental hospital for over two decades.
Life is so short. I remember 1982 like it was yesterday. To see these two old and now gone it really hits home how little time we have here.
I was born in 82 and it's far from yesterday
Absolutely legendary! Larry Hagman and Ken Kercheval...Both those guys are amazing. Y'all rest in peace fellers. Great fun, thank you. ♡
MARTINE PEAK I was a naive teen and they taught me what is hatred.
I miss him and Pam too. She never hesitated to give JR back what he gave her.
Those were the days when we would all sit together and watch Dallas… How I miss those special days…
In Memory of Larry Hagman, Ken Kercheval & George Kennedy, thanks all so much for your wonderful legacies of a show that'll remain watched for all eternity, see you all at The Crossroads 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Well before he said in the tag of the first episode, "I seem to have underestimated the new Mrs. Ewing..." it was clear that JR was the star, an unstoppable force.
EXACTLY!
The look on Cliffs face when JR walks in is the million dollar shot.
Oh, how I love that mischievous 'ol JR Ewing!!!! One of the best characters in the history of television!
Larry Hagman, Ken Kercheval, George Kennedy, were so great!!! RIP, Boy's, you did a fantastic job, at your craft.... 🙏🙏🙏😥😥😥...
Don't forget Clayton. But I absolutely loved George Kennedy
Love the original Dallas and I am 33. The reboot was great and so good. RIP JR 😢😢❤❤
There'll never be another J.R. Ewing
R.I.P. Larry Hagman, You were the best.
Who shot JR, was on the night before my Wedding. We had the rehearsal dinner at our new apartment. The rehearsal dinner, turned into the The Who Shot JR Party. I’ll never forget that party.
Larry Hagman was the type of gentleman you’d wish he was. Super nice guy
Yes he was and he was the funniest actor
Last president?
You got that right, Best of The Best Villians.
RIP Larry Hagman and Ken Kercheval
Two legends gone but not forgotten
They where both awesome

Ken died? Sad.

Miss JR Ewing, he had everyone in his hip pocket. He is the best. Rest In Peace. We all miss you.
JR always bring a smile in my face :)

Wow, never knew that! Of course, I could now not imagine anyone other than Jim Davis playing Jock.
Wow...I can't see anyone but the great Jim Davis playing JOCK...r.i.p❤
"Some days you're the windshield, and some days you're the bug!" Love it!!!!
Classic JR
Doy Virginia well said.
J R Is just to smart
JR was the Ultimate tycoon VILLAIN!!!
Blake trump and jr the best
HOW in the world could i EVER FORGET how GREAT JR was?! LEGENDARY LARRY HAGMAN!
RIP, you were my youth. Now, it’s my turn to be a grandma 💙
Its just so good, this clip alone is like a whole season of some series nowadays.
I LOVE the look on Cliff's secretary's face when she sees JR!!
She looked just like JR's ex wife Cally Harper
"Somedays you're the windshield and somedays you're the bug" it will never be the same without you JR.
That was a great Phrase?
How.true.i.miss.jr
Leonard Katzman’s last Dallas: JR Returns, lived up to the original series. Katzman died shortly after production finished. Katzman and Larry Hagman, were the driving forces that made Dallas, the greatest drama on TV. I miss those days
Saxon C Agreed. But War of the Ewings was so stupid.
@@daveb.4460 i love Dallas tv show but they changed the stories line too much, too many families members, but they had great relationships
Oh..what a shame...sad....i love this movie...Every day we see Dallas...i empressed of it...
Cynthia Cidre really fucked up the new Dallas. So many things she did were racist and insulting.
his daughter was sherill retinno think it spelled she played jackie dugan cliff secretary on dallas as well she died a year before he did .
I love the look on Cliff's secretary when she sees JR!
LOL! Same old J.R! Age hasn't stopped him any. He may fallen on his ass towards the end of the original series but he bounced back and experienced a resurgence!

"You ought to know by now, I hear everything." I miss this show.
For some reason, I enjoy that neg vibe anytime I heard that line.
I refer J.R. Ewing as THE SATAN of the big, vast corporate👿world 🔥🤠
i love it --some days you’re the windshield and some days you’re the bug! by GOD JR was SUPERB…..
I'm a huge Marvel comics fan and I enjoy going to comic cons. Saw a guy dressed up as Doctor Doom one year. Great costume, and I told him that Doom was the second greatest bad guy of all time.
" Who's the first!? " he demanded
" JR Ewing."
There was a pause and then he nodded and said " I accept that"
"Still brown-baggin it I see." Genius. Cars.
The writers were total geniuses.
JR returns and starts doing his thing very very well.
Love the way Cliff (imitating JR) said "Ewing Oil belonged to my Daddy" lol
I still miss JOCK,MISS ELLIE AND HE SO MUCH
“ I know u are a man who does not let promises stand in the way of profit”… another great JR line ….
This show was so perfectly cast. Ken and Larry were just amazing.
It wouldn't be Dallas without J.R. and Cliff going at it.
Love this show never got to see the end of it want to watch it all again even the new one
Poor Cliff; coming apart at the seams; JR enters...
Cool, Calm, Collected!!!!!!
Wonderful memories wish I could watch it all again loved Dallas never missed an episode neither did my mam and dad who like the great man himself JR are no longer here 😢
Sorry for the loss of your parents. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
Thank you
@@allyp1088 I lost my parents, too. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
So sorry its not easy is it so sorry for your loss x
J.R. played everybody like a fiddle, and nobody caught on until the end of the video.

Pure class by jr ewing at his best, he was Dallas so sad rip Larry xx
Mr Hagman - you were a true legend 🤩

No one else could've played JR Ewing like Larry Hagman.
"Hi Cliff. Still brownbaggin it I see"..R.I.P., you loveable, awesome, perfect, born to be J.R. Ewing. God Bless You. Cars.
I love that JR sits at the booth with his picture on it lol.

Can't believe both JR n Cloff are both not alive anymore. RIP ❤
What happened to Larry Hagmans eyebrows as he got older? Those eyebrows looked kind of sinister which when you think about it kind of suited JR
Hagman actually cultivated them intentionally for that reason :)
Nobody does it better...makes me feel bad for the rest...nobody does it half as good as you...J.R. you're the best.
Larry Hagman,there will be no other you will be missed greatly JR Ewing the LEGEND like his Father Jock.
Love that!! "Some days you're the windshield and some days you're the bug." No one more cunning than JR was! Lol!

The writing for this actor is unbelievable. Wow
Larry Hagman should receive a standing ovation for his roll as JR.😊🎉
"JR EWING" , Is the King of Kings !!!! . R,I,P JR you are missed 😥
love how the movie explained the passage of time by saying Jr was in Europe for 5 years ...
“Hiya Cliff……still brown bagging it I see!”
Classic JR burn!
When I heard he was sick I got sad rest in peace Larry Hagman❤
JR. is nothing to play with,. loooove him
I could watch him forever these short old Dallas TV show cliff
Cliff sells Ewing Oil to Bobby, in a roundabout way J.R. Did get Ewing Oil back. Cliff became richer and J.R. Is still rich. The big loser turned put to be Carter McKay of Weststar in the long run.

Still wonder if that is why he visited Cliff first.
@@briangasser973 and he said he had "proxy" voting on west star.. as in friends that would vote with him that own stock

Larry Hangman made Dallas Loved it❤
Larry Hagman was simply the very best actor. RIP he played JR so perfectly.
“Some days your the windshield and some days your the bug” lol
RIP in you blokes. Cheers for the memories.
I love that there are loose connections (George Kennedy, Ted Shackleford, Joan Van Ark) between JR of Dallas and Victor Newman of The Young & The Restless. Shame there was never any sort of a crossover battle there lol.
They both lived on ranches.
Love Larry Hagman. Brilliant actor. Fantastic as JR Ewing.
Good ol' J.R. Still the best TV villain of all time. 😁
That brown bag was an underrated character they should have done more with it
JR was in a class by himself and was an absolute powerhouse back in the day. Dallas will never be topped or bettered.
You can tell how nervous Cliff is. Trying to act like he’s not nervous, but he is thinking OH SHIT!
Sometimes you’re the windshield and sometimes you’re the bug. He’s a trip.
0:08 The look on Cliff’s face was PRICELESS! Translation: “Oh shit” With a dose of “you gotta be f’ing kidding me?!”
Cliff looked like he saw a ghost when he saw J.R. for the first time in years.
JR was awesome!
I love Dallas and old JR.
JR has a cell reserved at the Sanitarium for anyone who gets in his way.
JR sets Afton up and ships her off to the crazy house! Pure JR in action.
That was a great show JR was very crafty in the Business knew how to be cagy as well
As always be one step ahead of cliff Barns to setting him up with false deals to think he might stand a chance against JR

SO brilliant and SO the best baddie in soap EVER!!!!
Angela Channing on FALCON CREST was his equal in every way.
Jr simply the best
J R Ewing always had something up his sleeve. Lol
what a legend Larry Hagman was. JR is the BEST. cannot help just loving that wicked character…..much better than the boring holy fellows….
"kindler, gentler J.R. Ewing." 😏😂😂😂 R.I.P. to Larry, the one and only J.R. Ewing.
JR is so Deliciously evil and I love it
JR will live on as a part of Texas always
Notice Bobby has gotten the bad side of situations most of the time. Poor Bobby
