Soap Fiends!!!!
This is what it's all about. Drama , intrigue , attempted murder and pure unbridled hate for the most lovable bad guy in Television history! We've made it to one of the most ICONIC episodes of television every produced. 10 plus suspects, 2 shots and one major question....who shot J.R?
The list of suspects is amazingly crafted but the true star of the show is JR's unapologetic , overly inflated ego . Amazingly he manages to systematically destroy his victims in less than 3 moves. The cast is playing checkers while JR has dominated chess. This episode is a master class in super villain-ary .
Who could forget the cliffhanger that had everyone asking, "Who shot JR?" Join me, Jett, as we relive the infamous 'Dallas' season 3 finale in our latest podcast episode. We'll get into the nitty-gritty of JR's cunning and the shockwaves sent through the Ewing family, proving why this episode is a pinnacle of television history.
As your guide through the treacherous waters of Southfork Ranch, I unpack JR's devious financial maneuvers and the betrayals that nearly toppled his empire. We'll dissect the emotional family drama, with Bobby's departure plan tugging at heartstrings, and Sue Ellen's internal battle—a cocktail of despair and defiance. It's a rollercoaster of high stakes and familial bonds stretched to their breaking point.
To cap things off, we'll juxtapose "Dallas" against other iconic third-season finales, examining the art of the cliffhanger and its grip on audiences across decades. No need to wait with bated breath for the next episode; I've got your fix of drama right here, so pour yourself a drink and indulge in a toast to the show that taught us all how to love the villain.
