Wait a minute Jock, Miss Ellie, Bobby & Pam all believe it was wrong for JR to mortgage Southfork, but they have no problem celebrating the results? Really? Jock/Ellie are having caviar and Bobby/Pam want to go on a "spending binge" Those generations are such hypocrites.
Just like life itself. Woman wants a divorce and can't wait to get out of her marriage and rid herself of her husband, but will gladly take half of her ex-husbands money as she walks out the door. Spoiled children complain about mommy and daddy, all while letting the parents pay for college, the apartment, and the car they drive. People will complain about a two-faced friend, but don't have a problem spending a weekend at the two-faced friend's beach or lake house, eating the friend's food, swimming in the friend's pool, and riding in the friend's car.
Couple things. 1. Look at Bobby’s face when the parents reamed JR out. He actually felt a bit sorry for him. JR seriously took it for granted how good a brother Bobby was. 2. That also brings up the point how strong the family was. The night Bobby confronted JR, and Jock and Ellie hear them argue, they all wanted to kill JR. Jock got a rare pessimism over their chances, and JR looked absolutely sunk. Next morning, however, they are all in the office looking at assets, negotiating with the banker, and coming up with ideas. When Jock wanted to sell the leases, Bobby took up for JR. The 80s marketed this show as wealth, blackmail, and all that, and it had that, but it had a brilliant backstory of a family that constantly had each other’s back despite it all. 3. JR’s story is simple. Jock taught him everything, but he loved Bobby more. He doesn’t have Bobby’s looks or athleticism, he’s not as tough as Jock, and Mama had Gary. All he had was smooth charm and an insane desire to succeed. Just ridiculous hustle. JR was way more like Cliff than he ever would want to admit. JR was Cliff with more resources, but he had to work just as hard.
That was a brilliant analysis. I only started watching Dallas in 1981 at 15 during the Who Shot JR Era. When I looked at the early episodes, my heart broke for Pam when they were so mean to her. Guilt by association.
For all the hell that everyone around J.R gave him when he made risky investments they all seemed to not realize one fact ..that J.R probably made 80% of the Ewing fortune himself single handedly
Yes, this was probably the only time jr was disapointed and down. Isnt it strange how he never gave a damn for how anyone else felt, but yet we still feel bad for him.
@@Richard-vq7ud No, when JR, Ray, and Bobby returned from South America without Jock. JR had to deal with the realization that his father is dead, and not been able to say goodbye to him.
I've seen people mention it about the Cork popping scene, but really this whole scene is a Major Tony Nelson moment. When he walks in all excited and Lucy bursts his bubble is especially funny.
Poor, poor JR! If Jock would have said: "Well done JR, but next time try to put the family first before gambling", then maybe JR would have soften a bit. JR ONLY WANTED JOCK'S APPROVAL! That's all! Jock made JR into a monster through his constant criticism.
I love how the cork doesn't pop at then end and the look on J.R.'s face. One thing that made the character work so well is that he could be played for laughs as much as for evil. Can you imagine any other character in the show having a comedic scene other than J.R. ?I loved that Hagman didn't take take the character too seriously and just wanted to have fun playing him.
JR should've taken the money and ran. Start his own company and leave his ungrateful family for good. Oh and find a much sexier wife than Sue Ellen. JR Ewing WAS Ewing Oil, not Jock. RIP Larry Hagman, (JR Ewing), the greatest character in the history of television.
Hagman was the only genuine actor in the show. He gave the character so many nuances. A ruthless narcissist with his own moral code. A sociopath of sorts, who was still inexorably linked to his parents and family. The scene where he falls apart after Jock’s passing is gold…
Jock said it best when he and Miss Ellie learned about JR Mortgaging SouthFork. "I taught JR the business. He caught the fever of big deals. I never taught him when to stop"
Watching this scene, you kind of see why J.R. was such a bastard. Even why he hated Gary so much. That dude got attention without trying while J.R. got chewed out over everything.
Typical dynamic of alcoholic family.1. Over achiever--JR, 2. Peace maker-- Bobby 3. Black sheep --Gary. 4. Missing the clown-- possibly JR because he had an uncanny wit, it just was used to cut people down.
The story was a little bit hard to watch as JR was trying to come up with enough collateral for the leases. & He was just about to give it up until he got a phone call down there that the wells had hit. It was a great moment. ❤️
Jock had the same mentality that a lot of Rock Stars have with their Sons. They couldn't say words like "I'm Proud Of You". Sting, Michael Jackson (RIP), George Michael (RIP), Brian Wilson (The Beach Boys) and even Barry Gibb (The Bee Gees) had Fathers who couldn't openly express their pride for their children.
@@laminage JR would've never lost anything. He had it in the bag. JR made that company into the power house it was. Screw the whole ungrateful lot of the family.
Everyone is giving JR the cold shoulder and stink eye, yet they don't mind living high on the hog with the money he brings into the family...Miss Ellie slopping up the caviar that the servant brought in......Bobby " let's go on a spending spree"....Pam giggles. Dirty looks at JR.
I don't think Jock ever fully trusted JR after this. In some of the old school books, even Jock knew JR pushed and angered people too much and went too far sometimes.
You dont get filthy rich without taking some risks. Yeah, JR bit off more than was reasonable by tossing Southfork into the pot, but hell, if you see the opportunity as a good one, then you have to do it. Someone commented here, that criticizing JR for his gambit is middle class thinking. It is. If you want to roll with the big boys, at some time you'll have to go all in. JR is a G.
This is a interesting episode. They went from being Millionaires to Billionaires. But that was not the highlight of this particular eppy. It was a Mother finally holding her child! That is why Dallas is in a much different league than cloneshow Dynasty. Class and Dignity= Dallas.
Dynasty was always melodrama, high trash. Dallas waa always better. It, in the early years, wrote from character and not plot. Dynasty was the latter. I enjoy Dynasty but mainly for Alexis.
Man the look on JR"s face was priceless when his father stated that he"ll be running Ewing Oil and coming to the office everyday. Making sure he keeps the promise to Miss Ellie. Keeping an eye on him.
I remember watching this many years ago and the part where the champagne was flat. My grandparents and father were like Jock. They refused to live in a house that was not paid for or had a lien on it. And if you had to borrow money it was not talked about.
J R was the man, he made that company what it was, Bobby was the goody to shoe who wanted to be the fair business man, but would have gotten destroyed if he ran Ewing Oil..Dad was the old oil dude hand shake and a deal...gone by days!
No, I understand Jock and Ellie's feelings towards JR. JR gambled Southfork behind his parents back- Jock would never have done that but I think what got his parents so upset was that fact that he didn't get the magnitude of the potential loss with his off shore oil deal. His saying "Isn't anyone going to thank me for making us billionaires?" was the worst thing that he could have said. If JR had said, instead, "I'm sorry and I was wrong in taking such a huge risk with his family's home and been sincere about it maybe his parents would have been kinder towards him.
Jock would have done it if he had not had such a pious old bag for a wife and he would have even been proud of JR for making such a move that paid off. Most parents would have thanked JR for increasing the families fortune lets be honest most rich kids squander or devalue their families assets JR made the Ewings a stronger family , Perhaps JR should have broke away from the family business and then the Ewing's could have seen how far Ewing Oil would have gone without JR.
You are exactly right wild 72. He should've just resigned from the business right then and there and left home. Yeah, it was a bad thing to gamble the ranch but it worked out in the end and that's all that matters. Jock was getting a little soft at that point. And yes, a "pious old bag for a wife" describes Ellie perfectly. Jock could've had a young, sexy wife but chose to stay with this old, deformed bat with no tits.
Wasn't worth it? Ellie is so spolied it's pathetic. She lives like a queen all the time and when she gets a little uncomfortable for a few days she's still complaining even though it made them a billionaire. No, JR shouldn't have risked the ranch but for goodness sakes it's not like she would ever be homeless.
Jock was fine risking Ewing oil as he made it himself and knew the risk of business. southfork was Miss Ellie's family home for generations and she almost lost it once during the depression southfork was never Jock's but he loved it and Miss Ellie. Jock was right to be pissed with jr as he jepordized southfork along with Ewing oil.
I think jock didn’t mind the gamble with the risk of losing money but when it came close to the family losing everything that’s where he drew the line.
@@KAMALAISHERNAME they said in the show Southfork was never at risk just section 31 via the oil field on the property. It was a solid deal and any successful businessman would've done the same thing. Do you honestly think a Donald Trump wouldn't have did what JR did? Anyone would have in that position that understands big business.
Your company President turns you from millionaires to billionaires and you ream him out and take the company out of his hands. Interesting business strategy. Poor J.R.
One day Mamma I'm a gonna stop a nomark like Clayton Farlow trying to get his hands on everything Dady built but again you won't thank me for it Mama you sanctimonious Bitch !
Right again wild 72! I see you share the same dislike for Ellie as I do. And it's too bad JR DIDN'T drive another brother or two (Bobby and Ray) off the ranch and out to the shithole communist California with fellow wimpy ass brother, Gary.
wild 72 I’ve never really realized as hard JR’s mother could have been with him. The most likely it's probably she didn t like her eldest son ! She was a « farmer’s girl », she didn’t like the oil 😉
Jock's attitude during this period, toward JR and Bobby, when each of them was made president of Ewing Oil, seems to have been, "I told you to run Ewing Oil, what makes you think you're running Ewing Oil?"
this was a subtle look into JR's psychology. His family stabbed him in the back a bit.. JR did what he was taught by his Dad... and his mother ignores his motivations and concentrates on his methods. Throws her usual bullshit Southworth bromides. I hated Miss Elly. Never bought her as JR's mother... she jumped his ass too often... too quickly.
Yep. And when J.R. got shot, she talked Jock into making Bobby president of Ewing Oil and pushing J.R. out. Even after J.R. recovered from his injuries.
What became of the children comes from the treatment of the parents. That's what happened to JR's character. In a way , JR is to be pitied. His parents are unfit parents! "2023."
Jr knew he had a ace in the hole southfork he knew that there was lots of oil on section 40 he knew miss ellie would bail him out if the Asian deal didn't work out
I remember this part, with all the troubles JR have had and all the fights, he finally did something great, the pipelines were gushing with oil, he come to the house and they all crap on him. Even as a viewer that hated JR, I thought that sucked. Bad writing. Cause it business when there's success everyone forget their problems.
Yes., but keep in mind that Jock told JR not to do the Oil Deal in Southeast Asia and he didn't listen to Daddy. Even in The Old School Books, Jock knew that if JR was the way he was, it was his fault. He also may have realized he was "harder" on him to make him pay for what Gary did running off and the like.
This was when the Asian oil wells hit and JR had morgaged the family home to do it. And this was also the day SUe Ellen reunited with baby John Ross and was happy to have a son.
Yes, he suckered the Cartel into investing their shares into the Southeast Asia Deal,, which in turn The Cartel got wiped out by J.R., as he had inside knowledge from his contact over there that the oil wells got nationalized.
They don't see it that way. Also remember in The Old School Dallas Book, Lupe knew the real reason why Jock & Miss Ellie got married and it was Miss Ellie's insistence that they had Mexican Staff. I'm sure they got paid some Big Bank and who knows maybe they were able to send Cash to Family in Mexico to help them out. Remember when The Ewings got held hostage. The Staff were in El Paso at a Fiesta to celebrate Mexican Pride.
Even if it actually served J.R. right for ruining Miss Ellie's & Jock's Southfork, he didn't "make fun" or "take advantage of" Bobby or Ray, all the time.
JR shouldn't get any thanks. He almost ruined the Family financially. He had a Horseshoe up his Backside. It's like finding out your child cheated on a Test, he's allowed to retake the test he passes but he still thinks he should get some commendation for passing "honestly".
Wait a minute
Jock, Miss Ellie, Bobby & Pam all believe it was wrong for JR to mortgage Southfork, but they have no problem celebrating the results? Really? Jock/Ellie are having caviar and Bobby/Pam want to go on a "spending binge" Those generations are such hypocrites.
They are celebrating that there will be no drilling on Southfork and they will not lose it
That's what made J.R. such a fascinating and arresting character, for all his ruthlessness and shenanigans, he isn't a hypocrite.
You might celebrate if you almost lost your home

JR had a Tony Nelson moment with the "popping" of the flat champagne at the end.
I'm glad to hear JOck was going to come into the office on a regular basis to keep an eye on old JR.
Yeah. 🤣🤣🤣
Hearing Jock say that sure knocked the joy & wind out of old JR. 😆😆
I love JR. Goes all-in on a gamble. now that's BALLS !!!

Even as a viewer that hated JR, I thought that sucked. Bad writing. Cause it business when there's success everyone forget their problems.
Johnny Skinwalker if I was Jr I would have stayed at the office and celebrated there with the secretaries
Yea have him go back to the office and bring Sue Ellen's sister with him. lol
Yes., but keep in mind that Jock told JR not to do the Oil Deal in Southeast Asia and he didn't listen to Daddy. Even in The Old School Books, Jock knew that if JR was the way he was, it was his fault. He also may have realized he was "harder" on him to make him pay for what Gary did running off and the like.
Jock was the only one who was able to handle Jr. Dallas wasn't the same after Jim Davis died
Love how the dud champagne spoiled jr’s win on top of jock temporarily controlling Ewing oil.
Jock was a arsehole he picked on jr he’s a fucker
Billions
Jock ewing was class wish he did not pass away.those 3 jock jr bobby would of been class
There is only one J. R . Ewing . I have his whiskey. They don’t make shows like this anymore.
This was when the Asian oil wells hit and JR had morgaged the family home to do it. And this was also the day SUe Ellen reunited with baby John Ross and was happy to have a son.
money, power, success=J.R. Ewing! :D
Was this the Same Deal that JR convinced his Friends to get in on.
Yes, he suckered the Cartel into investing their shares into the Southeast Asia Deal,, which in turn The Cartel got wiped out by J.R., as he had inside knowledge from his contact over there that the oil wells got nationalized.
Larry hagman brilliant
I have a headache trying to decipher the heading on this video. Somewhere my fourth grade English teacher is spinning in her grave ......
That's the episode call the house is divided
Talk about ther rick getting richer..!!..XD
Why were 2 SUPPOSED oil tycoons still living at home on the ranch with their MOMMA& DADDY
Dallas should have focused on J.R,''s service in Vietnam and built out the character from there
Ellie
The worst 3 days of her life?
Life must be good
Here comes Jock!!
It's wrong for them to let the maid stand there and hold that tray while they eat from it.
She's a god damn Mexican, fuck her.
They don't see it that way. Also remember in The Old School Dallas Book, Lupe knew the real reason why Jock & Miss Ellie got married and it was Miss Ellie's insistence that they had Mexican Staff. I'm sure they got paid some Big Bank and who knows maybe they were able to send Cash to Family in Mexico to help them out. Remember when The Ewings got held hostage. The Staff were in El Paso at a Fiesta to celebrate Mexican Pride.
HypasMusic she's HIRED help. That was part of her job description. No one forced her to do it. She knew what the job entailed before accepting it...
THE READ QUEEN Exactly
The maid would be on my lap
Even if it actually served J.R. right for ruining Miss Ellie's & Jock's Southfork, he didn't "make fun" or "take advantage of" Bobby or Ray, all the time.
I felt bad for J.R. but he gambled the ranch and what would've happen if it failed.
Poor JR
They sure shit on poor ole JR
JR shouldn't get any thanks. He almost ruined the Family financially. He had a Horseshoe up his Backside. It's like finding out your child cheated on a Test, he's allowed to retake the test he passes but he still thinks he should get some commendation for passing "honestly".
laminage He was just smarter than the cartel
Bullshit.. Everyone should be kissing his ass. He made them all billions.
BlIMEY forgot how gorgeous Pam was.🍹🍸🍹❤❤
Jock taking control of ewing oil
Cork failed to impress like his successful deal failed to impress.
Yet a risk J.R. took in southeast Asia mortgaging southfork and made enemies
Poor J.R.
Worst few days of my life, how are you going to make up to me for that? Are you kidding lady?
Dude, are you kidding me? She had a right to be upset. So...are you fucking kidding me? :)
Looks like he had already made up for it.
