Dallas. It was Must See TV every Friday night. We didn't go out until we had watched it and then, we all talked about it throughout the week.
You asked a pretty question; I've given you the ugly answer.

JR was a guy you loved to hate.
The show also had one of the best and most famous cliffhangers ever.
That one summer in the early 80s, we all wore Tee Shirts that said, I Shot JR.

Is that your husband Miss Margo?
I never watched these series unless at a friends place and never paid much attention, or by the time my father bought a t.v. in the early 80's,
Falcon Crest
had just started airing. I wasn't interested in watching it or the others.
I do recall walking past the shops on my way to school and seeing the entertainment magazines hyping up the "Who shot JR?" thing. I feel like I'm missing out on something now.

I was more a movie fan and championed cinemas. Was never a big fan of many t.v. series or soaps. These were pop culture though and many had fun watching them. I would single out a couple and stick to them.

No comment…
If you get IMDb TV, the streaming channel, you can watch watch the whole series free. That channel has loads of good shows. You should check it out!

Thanks for the tip off.
TV series can take up a lot of time to watch. When I do watch the newer ones, I like to binge watch them over a few days. I may have to wait until retired, which will be some time off yet.
Dallas/Dynasty were such sensational t.v. events in many lives in that awesome era I live through as a kid.

I remember "Who Shot JR?" like it was yesterday! Fun times!
The Enquirer even took a poll.
Sue Ellen got the highest number of votes. She was probably the one who had the best reason to want to kill him.
Her slimy sister, Kristen, got the second highest number of votes. And she turned out ot be guilty.

I confess that I never thought of Kristen. Everyone had reason to want him dead, so there were so many to choose from!
It certainly was the subject for debate all that summer. I remember there being bar bets. The stakes were high.
It really drove all of us crazy when the new season started with him in the hospital, and they didn't reveal who shot him until about the third episode in!
