The writers deserve an EMMY for the writing on Dallas! Great speeches!! " of course i care for your happiness...thats why i was against you marrying him in the first place....!" Love it!!
JR was spot on here. One thing that really bothered me and no one commented on was when Ms. Ellie allowed Clayton to say Dusty was a better man than he was. You don’t let ANYONE talk about your children like that no matter what!
And in you own home ! If Clayton sold his ranch that his business. But there's no need for him to own have of Southfork cutting JR, Bobby, Gary, Ray, Lucy John Ross and Christopher out of their inheritance !!!!!!!!!!
Man, I am SO with JR here! Miss Ellie was wrong to give half her sons’ birthright to Clayton. It’s one thing to remove Jock’s painting as a gesture of good will, but giving him half the ranch that should go down to your children and grandchildren? This was so wrong.
Amen Jr did a lot of Mischievous things but he had every right to defend his father honor and his home to where he built a empire even though Ellie had to right to remarry another man even after the loss of a loved one there are boundaries not to cross to Keep a memory of a loved one a respectful one
No matter what you back your child it was wrong for Miss Ellie to remain silent .im feeling JRs resentment.no one could've stepped into my Dads place and took over what he worked hard for either
If you weren't in front of your TV watching this in the late 70s-mid 80s, waiting on the next episode the next week,..like waiting on X'mas,...we folks that were can't explain HOW GREAT THIS SHOW REALLY WAS. My momma loved this show more than her own Children,..and she loved her kids:):)
@@janicethulin2749 yes I just sit and lay back and listen to the soundtrack of this and knots landing and it gives me vibes and excitement more than I can remember.
@Robert Scott and Falcon Crest! The old Dynasty is biring now but I watched that too. Getting to stay up late when it was on after my bed time for a long time. It was a treat!
Larry Hagman was a fantastic actor,i got to meet the man himself,and was incredible to speak to,he was passionate about the earth,and about homeless people,and raised alot of money for charities,his real personality was far away from his carricter JR,i was very sad the day he passed away,gone to that big southfork ranch in the sky,i have the complete collection of Dallas on dvd,and never get bored watching larry as JR...long live the memories of Larry Hagman.
Yes, also for JR, Southfork wasn't just a Home, it was a legacy. It was where he grew up, talked Shop with Daddy, and even showed Gary #1 that in The House Of Ewing, there are no Free Lunches and everyone works for theirs.
Her house to do what she pleases with. I get he’s hurt but he’s also an entitled man child that should maybe live his own life instead of trying to live up to his father’s image. And he’s such a prick in every way it’s good to see him get a kick in the teeth every so often.
J.R. was a family man and deserved South Fork. J.R. worked hard to obtain South Fork, and yet Ellie is just handing it over to Clayton Farlow. Although South Fork originally was owned by the Southworth family, it was Jock Ewing who saved South Fork. So only the Ewing family members should own South Fork.
A very touching scene at the end when JR says, "well I guess this is it.""" The music comes in and JR bares his soul. A truly moving moment - the way JR looks at Bobby as he hands him the photo (4:44) - you can feel the tears.
Exactly. I think that if they had the Old School Southfork with their own Homes things would have been different. Clayton knew what he was getting into when he Married Miss Ellie living in the shadow of John Ross Ewing I aka "Jock". Also, JR was right when he reminded Miss Ellie about how Jock saved the Southfork back in the day. Eventually they both left to live at another Ranch.
Well, he was telling the truth. Ellie was wrong as the day is long to give Clayton any part of Southfork, at least without talking with the family about it first. She knew that the legacy of Southfork came from Jock Ewing and not even her own father who almost lost the place. I don't know why the writers had her trying to give Southfork to the wrong people--first it was her brother Garrison when he came back after she thought he was dead for decades and then she wanted to share the deed with Clayton who should have refused out of respect for Jock's legacy there. In fact, Clayton should have insisted that he and Ellie build another home of their own on Southfork and let JR stay on at the Ewing house with Bobby and whoever else wanted to live there. I'm sure there was enough land for a new house and it would've been a place that truly belonged to Clayton without Jock Ewing's memory all over the place and Ellie would be content to stay on Southfork land.
@@DarlingNikki2 It was an excuse to have JR living in his condo when Sue Ellen and Nicholas Pierce confronted him about john ross. JR often stayed in that condo anyways so this was kind of unecessary
As much as miss Ellie loved jock she never respected his wish’s. She tried to get his will changed, she almost sold Ewing oil more than once , she took his picture down in the living room and she gave part of southfork to Clayton
@@MrJsfingers That is true. However, Southfork is originally a Southworth birthright. Don't forget, JR almost lost Southfork when he mortgaged it to buy Asian oil leases.
Yeah and Jock flipped out on him when he found out about it. Jock Ewing was no saint, but he did not mess with Southfork out of not only Ellie's love for it, but his own. JR was way out of pocket when he made that reckless move and Jock knew he had taught him a little too well to make money by any means necessary.
I always detested Clayton. Damn weakling and goody two-shoes. He couldn't hold a candle to Jock! And I'd be pissed too if my mom decided to give away my inheritance to some bum she dragged off of the street.
The thing is, even if you thought Clayton was a good and decent man, it is a Ewing inheritance, and it should stay within the Ewing family! That is just the way it should be!
Isn't life a blip. Back in the day, she was willing to give Southfork to Garrison (Her Brother) who didn't put in a day's work to keep the ranch going and now Clayton. He had his own money and Ranch, he shouldn't have sold Southern Cross.
Something that always bugged me about Miss Ellie is her apathy towards J.R.'s feelings and wants. She'd move heaven and earth and bend over backwards if that meant pleasing Bobby or Gary. When it came to J.R., she couldn't be bothered. She was heartbroken when, at different times, both Bobby and Gary left Southfork. But when J.R. says he's leaving, as evidenced in the scene here, she couldn't really give less than a damn.
@charliec5653 Yes I agree that when it came to South Fork JR was not to be trusted but she still didn't have to give half of it to Clayton, by shows finale she gave it fully to Bobby and in her will after her demise she made Bobby and John Ross ( JR'S son ) co-owners, Jr was simply not to be trusted with SF.
This is probably unpopular but I've always hated the way Miss Ellie treated J.R. Yes, he did a lot of underhanded things, but she always favored Bobby and Gary over him. She really made me mad when J.R. was shot by Kristin because she used the whole incident to get Gary and Bobby back to the ranch. Then she was all for making Jock keep Bobby on as President at Ewing Oil just so he would stay at Southfork. To hell with what J.R. wanted or what he had worked for. She totally lost her mind giving Clayton ownership of Southfork.
Great addition thanks for sharing I remember watching the show with my parents my father always said in regards to Clayton ‘I can’t believe a man would live in another mans house after getting remarried
That's totally irrelevant to the situation, the property was Jock's and Ellie's and Clayton had no right to it, doesn't matter if he was the nicest man on the planet! @Sunday Reflections
If Clayton was really the man that everybody thinks he was, then he would have done the right thing and not accepted anything regarding South Fork, understanding that it was a Ewing family Heritage and inheritance.
J.R. deeply loved his daddy very much and was one person he deeply respected and admired. Ever since he was a child he always tried his hardest to make his dad proud of him even when he grew up and became a man himself he always seek his father's respect. That would kinda explain J.R.'s win-at-all cost and overly competitive attitude in business. He always wanted to please his daddy.
Well that have may be true in JR's mind, but he kept a lot of information away from Jock. I suspect had Jock known half the things he did while running Ewing Oil, he would've been long gone.
Somebody find that scene its here on youtube I don't remember what its title but it was the scene where Bobby told the family that JR bet the ranch on SouthEast Asian oil wells. I remember Jock telling Bobby its not JR's fault he did it its mine. He said to Bobby I gave JR his head for big business but I never taught JR when to stop. I guess its the same here in a way. You see if he had taught JR that perhaps JR would have handled this the same way Bobby did but still reminded his mother and made sure that his Father's memory was still around.
To me, that was messed up what his mother did. She would rather share Southfork with a stranger rather than her own sons? WOW! JR had a point here. Clayton was no Ewing, and Southfork is a EWING birthright. Normally, JR's mother had good sense, this was not one of those times.
Why? It was Miss Ellie's to do with as she pleased. The really unfair bit was Clayton gave JR his proxy to Dusty's 25% of Westar, which was made worthless when Dusty sold out to McKay!
Bobby clearly wasn't willing. But his mother's happiness is what mattered to him. And I'd hardly call him a liberal. Bobby loved his country. Liberals don't.
They could have and maybe should have ended the series right here...I know its not some cooked up cliffhanger for big ratings, but everything at this point was pretty much settled. What came next was a couple seasons of head spinning bullshit because the show was making just enough money to keep it on the air. That said, Dallas had a prime of over five years, stayed on 13 and was the best of its generation. This is Larry Hagman's legacy and it is a great one.
Remember it was originally Miss Ellie's fathers land and home and she had to marry Jock to save it so she has every right to do what she seems fit with the land.
@@dawnyzaguirre8851 exactly!!! That’s why she had the power to give her brother half of it when she wanted to and was later able to completely leave Southfork to Bobby in her will.
wrong miss Ellie, just wrong. Clayton had his own ranch. No-one told him to sell it. You should have moved to the farlow ranch when you decided to remarry
Teresa Reeves Clayton was ill suited to step in Jock's shoes.. He and Ellie should've moved to Dallas and had Farlow run his empire from downtown occasionally tangling with Jr
i didn't like how clayton tried to be like jock and trying to settle down JR. If i had a step dad and he always got in my face I'd kick the shit out of him.
the conflicts btwn jr & clayton where all bogus for entertainment......there were kids in that home ellie was push over but she was not violent either......clayton has no authority to put his hand on jr. EVER n ellie shld have shut that dwn at the gate.....but dallas was ass-backwards many times....this scene was only done to set the stage for sue-ellen n nick Pearce to come to Jr. condo to confront him over hiding john-ross n sue ellen cld shoot him......mid season 14 clayton visist absent of ellie cause she had no desire to see any of them(not plausible since the sons lived at southfork at the behest of ellie) in his final visit he comes to advise the sons that ellie has deeded 100% of SF to bobby n jr had a shit-fit (in the reboot...vry shortly after jr's death...John-ross learns that ellie has deeded him 50% of SF)...end of s10 there charter is revoked and they are forced to sell ewing oil and all its assests...finale scene of that episode jr learns it was wendell that did the ewings in n weststar purchased all the ewing oil assests including the office building....end of s11 bobby has gotten the ewing oil name back meanwhile jjr has forced wendells hand an gotten all the assests back(seriious bulll cause jr did not purchase the assets back he traded an easment for the assests which at the time of the forced sale...they were valued at $800m...NO CEO wld have the authority to sign away that dollar amnt of a publicly held co absent of board consent)...even deeper unplausible bullshit....bobby returns frm paris in shock over april's death n announces he is selling ewing oil....how in the fuck cld he sell ewing oil when it has already been established that while bobby retained the name, jr retained the assests....rose nyland and chrissy snow cld tell u that the name of a company who's charter had been revoked by the justice dept is worth all of 2 cents. therefore a sale wld be 100% impossible....not to mention that during the reading of jock's will his longtime lawyer harve smithfiled (same trusted lawyer who faught against ellie in court when she attempted to overturn the will) read allowed jocks expressed written last wishes...that noone but a ewing ever own ewing oil...bobby was present when those last wishes were read allowed.....becuase those last wishes were expressed in writing in a will that had been probated....Jr or harve cld have filed an injunction to black any attempted sale..they wld have jockeyed back n fourth for years if a sale was attempted...and a probated will containg written expressed wishes associated with the sole owner wld have been honored...
After this episode I don't ever recall that Miss Ellie and Clayton owned Southfork jointly was ever mentioned again. I think this was just intended to set up the cliff hanger on the season finale
Jim Farris: Regardless, the land and home was Ms. Ellie's. It was never just Jock's, it was Jock's and Ms. Ellie's. Then it was Ms. Ellie's and Clayton's, which was then left to Bobby.
Robert Koscinski 99.9% of mothers would have given it to their children not their 2nd husband. JR made Ewing oil more money with the Asian oil deal than anything did. Clayton was a punk kid compared to Jock.
This was a bad time for JR. He was having to hide John Ross from Sue Ellen, he lost his chance to get into WestStar, & now Clayton of all people is part owner of what JR & Bobby feel is their birthright.
Larry, Ken, and Patrick ruined Dallas in the end. It seemed all three were losing interest in the show and not fighting for better scripts. I have more respect for Law & Order SVU , than I do Dallas. While Law & Order SVU went through cast changes , producer Dick Wolf has always maintain to keep the show on an even level. While Lenard Katzman could not maintain, Dallas anymore. It showed very much in the writing that Mr.Katzman was losing interest in the original Dallas. Very Sad.
After Aaron Southworth died and went broke and Miss Ellie's brother Garrison left, Jock saved Southfork with his life, blood, sweat, and money until Garrison resurfaced and was told by Miss Ellie that he was the sole heir of Southfork in her father's will.
JR always believes No one can't take His Daddy place. But Bobby is right Life goes on. To see Bobby and JR Talk about they're Daddy was Special. It was a ❤ to ❤ .talk With 2 brothers .
Miss Ellie should have taken a Page from Angela Channing's Book Of Marriage. When she was Married to Phillip Erickson as well as Peter Stavros she never transferred Falcon Crest's Ownership to either of them. She had it hard enough to "Share" The Wine Company with Chase Gioberti her Nephew.
JR was really Jocks son, almost a spitting image. They even said it in the show, Jock snagged JR from birth to make him his heir, and Miss Ellie grabbed onto Bobby.
Actually, Gary was Miss Ellie's favorite son. He took his name from her brother, Garrison after all. Miss Ellie clinged to Gary and had hoped for years that he would come back home to Southfork. It took a long time for Miss Ellie to finally deal with the fsct that Gary was never coming back to Southfork.
Paul Abramson In reality it was Southworth Land but Jock did "save" it. Clayton knew he would never fill Jock's Shoes and as a Stepfather he should remember that both JR and Bobby were very determined to keep Jock's legacy alive.
Also, keep in mind that Jock & Miss Ellie's relationship was based on a House of Cheating Cards. Remember when Miss Ellie was about to lose The Southfork she needed Jock's help. He did "Marry" her but their relationship was based more on a Business Arrangement than anything else.
It kind of reminds me of the US Soap Opera Another World where Carl Hutchins (Played Brilliantly by The Late Charles Keating) who married Rachel, lived in Mackenzie Cory's Mansion and when Rachel had The Twins, she named The Boy Baby Cory and Carl didn't have a problem with it. Yet The Cory Mansion was owned by Rachel after Mac's Death. What was so nice was that he was a terrific Stepfather to Jamie (Rachel's Son with Steve Frame) and Matthew (Rachel's Son with Mitch Blake) whom he thought was his for a long time.
Bobby, where were all those years JR needed you and you and him, could have ruled Dallas oil together but you always fighting against him. Thanks, JR schemes saved South Fork along with the oil ready for new movies or episodes, Bobby your a good man but you never understood JR when he was alive ..... He loved you as a Brother. Much love for Texas Oilmen in hard times keep fighting.
I agree with JR on this and that's very rare for me, its a disgrace to Jock's memory and Miss Ellie had no right to even suggest such a thing, at there age all they need to share is there love of family and friends, it would have more sensible to keep his own ranch and move Miss Ellie there, JR and his siblings since he was the first born and if he should die before Bobby then it should go to Bobby,
Bilal Ahmed: Ms. Ellie didn't "jump in the sack with Clayton so quickly." Clayton took very good care of Ms. Ellie when her boys were battling for Ewing Oil. Even Bobby didn't really care about Ms. Ellie when he was battling JR for Ewing Oil.

Like anyone can argue that JR was a good man lol
And in you own home ! If Clayton sold his ranch that his business. But there's no need for him to own have of Southfork cutting JR, Bobby, Gary, Ray, Lucy John Ross and Christopher out of their inheritance !!!!!!!!!!
@@zeagazetotsiyon2942 Chill out. No one is entitled to any "inheritance."

Especially since no-one forced Clayton to sell his own ranch.
Yeah, I always thought Dallas was more than merely a "nighttime soap". Great writing and acting, and many moments with true heart.
JR was a lot of things..but DAMN.!! I love him in this!! Defend Jocks honor!
Jock was irrelevant by this time period. The ranch was never his anyway. It belonged to Miss Ellie then she gave it to Bobby.
Jock was dead. He was irrelevant.

I remember Jock telling Bobby its not JR's fault he did it its mine. He said to Bobby I gave JR his head for big business but I never taught JR when to stop. I guess its the same here in a way. You see if he had taught JR that perhaps JR would have handled this the same way Bobby did but still reminded his mother and made sure that his Father's memory was still around.

To me, that was messed up what his mother did. She would rather share Southfork with a stranger rather than her own sons? WOW! JR had a point here. Clayton was no Ewing, and Southfork is a EWING birthright. Normally, JR's mother had good sense, this was not one of those times.
Clayton and Miss Ellie gave Southfork to Bobby later on
Yeah, I know that, but they should have given it to him when they were still there.
Why? It was Miss Ellie's to do with as she pleased. The really unfair bit was Clayton gave JR his proxy to Dusty's 25% of Westar, which was made worthless when Dusty sold out to McKay!
But the point is she should of kept it in the family.
I know Jerry, but he was not a Ewing, that's my whole point.
There is nothing worse than familial betrayal.
Family can hurt you more than anyone else.
Bobby was a true liberal. Willing to give everything away to people who don’t deserve it. JR was a True Ewing and Loyal to Jock until his dying day.
Saxon C
Yeah that’s not liberals
That’s Republicans....
Its a feckin tv show...... Get ovet yourself!
Omg everyone just hush
Bobby clearly wasn't willing. But his mother's happiness is what mattered to him. And I'd hardly call him a liberal. Bobby loved his country. Liberals don't.
Speedy Quick you are badly mistaken
Such a great show! The dynamics between the actors.
They could have and maybe should have ended the series right here...I know its not some cooked up cliffhanger for big ratings, but everything at this point was pretty much settled. What came next was a couple seasons of head spinning bullshit because the show was making just enough money to keep it on the air. That said, Dallas had a prime of over five years, stayed on 13 and was the best of its generation. This is Larry Hagman's legacy and it is a great one.
Man can't believe she gave that freeloader half of southfork. Jock must have been spinning in his grave
Remember it was originally Miss Ellie's fathers land and home and she had to marry Jock to save it so she has every right to do what she seems fit with the land.
John Jr. Was stubborn like an ox 🐂. Bobby was level headed. J R was never ever going to get south fork. Jock made sure of that. Jock lost j r trust.
Clayton was not a freeloader and was very successful and wealthy.
The ranch never belonged to Jock. It was Ellie that always owned it. It was her father's ranch.
@@dawnyzaguirre8851 exactly!!! That’s why she had the power to give her brother half of it when she wanted to and was later able to completely leave Southfork to Bobby in her will.
wrong miss Ellie, just wrong. Clayton had his own ranch. No-one told him to sell it. You should have moved to the farlow ranch when you decided to remarry
It was a poor writers choice and the actors seemed to do nothing about the script. It was a poorly written script.
Teresa Reeves Clayton was ill suited to step in Jock's shoes.. He and Ellie should've moved to Dallas and had Farlow run his empire from downtown occasionally tangling with Jr
Although a TV show, it definitely reflects how I'd feel & react in real life. JR is right! 👍
I can really tell j.r. was geuine really hurt about all this
Who cares?
Of course he was sincere. J.R. Ewing (John Ross Ewing II). Defend your daddy's honor.
Never liked Ellie... she changed her loyalties too quickly.
Extremely poor choice of an Actress for the role of Miss Ellie from the get-go!
@@richarddismore5901 i agree. She should have defended JR more often.
What bothers me most is how Ellie accepts JR leaving but when Bobby left, she was all tears.
JR also had a high rise condo in Dallas and I think the point of this scene was to set up for the season finale cliffhanger by having JR off Southfork
prpbably because Bobby and Pam were going to move to California and JR moved to his condo in Dallas
Bobby was a CandyAss!
JR was such an ass
WestJason9 I know. Yet people actually root for this heartless jackass.
Miss Ellie and Clayton just should have lived at Clayton's Ranch in San Angelo
We need more JR's today!
i didn't like how clayton tried to be like jock and trying to settle down JR. If i had a step dad and he always got in my face I'd kick the shit out of him.
*You* would, sure but not JR. JR was many things but a fighter wasn't one of them.
Yes I did not like how Clayton got into JR's face like he was someone to JR.
He didn't have to be by fists, he was a shrewd through business man, that did whatever it took to beat you.
They did fight numerous times and Clayton kicked JR's ass
the conflicts btwn jr & clayton where all bogus for entertainment......there were kids in that home ellie was push over but she was not violent either......clayton has no authority to put his hand on jr. EVER n ellie shld have shut that dwn at the gate.....but dallas was ass-backwards many times....this scene was only done to set the stage for sue-ellen n nick Pearce to come to Jr. condo to confront him over hiding john-ross n sue ellen cld shoot him......mid season 14 clayton visist absent of ellie cause she had no desire to see any of them(not plausible since the sons lived at southfork at the behest of ellie) in his final visit he comes to advise the sons that ellie has deeded 100% of SF to bobby n jr had a shit-fit (in the reboot...vry shortly after jr's death...John-ross learns that ellie has deeded him 50% of SF)...end of s10 there charter is revoked and they are forced to sell ewing oil and all its assests...finale scene of that episode jr learns it was wendell that did the ewings in n weststar purchased all the ewing oil assests including the office building....end of s11 bobby has gotten the ewing oil name back meanwhile jjr has forced wendells hand an gotten all the assests back(seriious bulll cause jr did not purchase the assets back he traded an easment for the assests which at the time of the forced sale...they were valued at $800m...NO CEO wld have the authority to sign away that dollar amnt of a publicly held co absent of board consent)...even deeper unplausible bullshit....bobby returns frm paris in shock over april's death n announces he is selling ewing oil....how in the fuck cld he sell ewing oil when it has already been established that while bobby retained the name, jr retained the assests....rose nyland and chrissy snow cld tell u that the name of a company who's charter had been revoked by the justice dept is worth all of 2 cents. therefore a sale wld be 100% impossible....not to mention that during the reading of jock's will his longtime lawyer harve smithfiled (same trusted lawyer who faught against ellie in court when she attempted to overturn the will) read allowed jocks expressed written last wishes...that noone but a ewing ever own ewing oil...bobby was present when those last wishes were read allowed.....becuase those last wishes were expressed in writing in a will that had been probated....Jr or harve cld have filed an injunction to black any attempted sale..they wld have jockeyed back n fourth for years if a sale was attempted...and a probated will containg written expressed wishes associated with the sole owner wld have been honored...
I agree with JR !
The grave dirt isn’t even settled yet, and Sue Ellen is involved some other guy. Pity !
After this episode I don't ever recall that Miss Ellie and Clayton owned Southfork jointly was ever mentioned again. I think this was just intended to set up the cliff hanger on the season finale
It was mentioned when JR moved back in. Miss Ellie told JR to respect Claytons position
JR was my guy
If Clayton really wanted peace he and Ellie would have gotten their own home.
Jim Farris: South Fork was Ms. Ellie's property.
Robert Koscinski you are kidding . Ewing money saved it.
Jim Farris: And Ms. Ellie had to save Ewing Oil, so that evened it out.
Jim Farris: Regardless, the land and home was Ms. Ellie's. It was never just Jock's, it was Jock's and Ms. Ellie's. Then it was Ms. Ellie's and Clayton's, which was then left to Bobby.
Robert Koscinski 99.9% of mothers would have given it to their children not their 2nd husband. JR made Ewing oil more money with the Asian oil deal than anything did. Clayton was a punk kid compared to Jock.
thank u J.R.
thanxs
This was a bad time for JR. He was having to hide John Ross from Sue Ellen, he lost his chance to get into WestStar, & now Clayton of all people is part owner of what JR & Bobby feel is their birthright.
Larry, Ken, and Patrick ruined Dallas in the end. It seemed all three were losing interest in the show and not fighting for better scripts. I have more respect for Law & Order SVU , than I do Dallas. While Law & Order SVU went through cast changes , producer Dick Wolf has always maintain to keep the show on an even level. While Lenard Katzman could not maintain, Dallas anymore. It showed very much in the writing that Mr.Katzman was losing interest in the original Dallas. Very Sad.
Respected Howard Keel, as a singer and his MGM legacy. But, DALLAS writers tried making him another Jock.
Just didn't work
Jim Davis is the only person to ever portray Jock Ewing
Only one Jock Ewing
@@KIMD1717 exactly
After Aaron Southworth died and went broke and Miss Ellie's brother Garrison left, Jock saved Southfork with his life, blood, sweat, and money until Garrison resurfaced and was told by Miss Ellie that he was the sole heir of Southfork in her father's will.
Awesome show
I miss this kind of television. Great actors and yes BBG all around.
After all the fights, still great brothers
I love JR Ewing
Jr Ewing always kept it 💯,that was the show
I grew up watching Dallas😁
wHAT WAS THAT CONFUSED OLD WOMAN THINKING?
JR always believes
No one can't take His Daddy place.
But Bobby is right
Life goes on.
To see Bobby and JR
Talk about they're Daddy was Special.
It was a ❤ to ❤ .talk
With 2 brothers .
For once, J.R. was right.
Wait a minute, I'm from San Angelo, Texas. Them are fighting words J.R. LoL.
I miss this show
Miss Ellie should have taken a Page from Angela Channing's Book Of Marriage. When she was Married to Phillip Erickson as well as Peter Stavros she never transferred Falcon Crest's Ownership to either of them. She had it hard enough to "Share" The Wine Company with Chase Gioberti her Nephew.
Most people in these comments always say Larry Hagman was a fantastic actor and he indeed was but Patrick Duffy for me was equally iconic!!
The shade JR threw at Dusty’s impotency is fierce.
Elli says "Clayton and i have been married for a LONG time." What was it here.....3 years? lol, time is so funny on these shows
JR was really Jocks son, almost a spitting image. They even said it in the show, Jock snagged JR from birth to make him his heir, and Miss Ellie grabbed onto Bobby.
Actually, Gary was Miss Ellie's favorite son. He took his name from her brother, Garrison after all. Miss Ellie clinged to Gary and had hoped for years that he would come back home to Southfork. It took a long time for Miss Ellie to finally deal with the fsct that Gary was never coming back to Southfork.
JR is king
Jr was right it's a Ewing Ranch and and Ewing property not a Farlow property Clayton should have been kicked out
Paul Abramson In reality it was Southworth Land but Jock did "save" it. Clayton knew he would never fill Jock's Shoes and as a Stepfather he should remember that both JR and Bobby were very determined to keep Jock's legacy alive.
No, in comparison to Jock, he was very mellow but he had no Rights Legal or Otherwise to Southfork.
Also, keep in mind that Jock & Miss Ellie's relationship was based on a House of Cheating Cards. Remember when Miss Ellie was about to lose The Southfork she needed Jock's help. He did "Marry" her but their relationship was based more on a Business Arrangement than anything else.
Paul Abramson well I kinda disagreed with it it was southfork ranch not Ewing Ellie was a south Worth
simply the best ever
JR Ewing, OG as always.
Yep the Godfather of Dallas 🤠 🐴🐎
I never agreed with JR but on this one he was right.
I really think Miss Ellie should have talked to Bobby and JR before doing that!!!!
Indeed, she should've
It kind of reminds me of the US Soap Opera Another World where Carl Hutchins (Played Brilliantly by The Late Charles Keating) who married Rachel, lived in Mackenzie Cory's Mansion and when Rachel had The Twins, she named The Boy Baby Cory and Carl didn't have a problem with it. Yet The Cory Mansion was owned by Rachel after Mac's Death. What was so nice was that he was a terrific Stepfather to Jamie (Rachel's Son with Steve Frame) and Matthew (Rachel's Son with Mitch Blake) whom he thought was his for a long time.
Looking at Clayton, it can't be the sex. How did Miss Ellie think J.R. would react? Clayton truly dodged a Texas beating.
Love JR
Ellie was wrong..she should put a stipulation that Clayton could live there if she went first but left it to her family.
Bobby, where were all those years JR needed you and you and him, could have ruled Dallas oil together but you always fighting against him. Thanks, JR schemes saved South Fork along with the oil ready for new movies or episodes, Bobby your a good man but you never understood JR when he was alive ..... He loved you as a Brother. Much love for Texas Oilmen in hard times keep fighting.
They don't make great shows like this anymore.
I agree with JR on this and that's very rare for me, its a disgrace to Jock's memory and Miss Ellie had no right to even suggest such a thing, at there age all they need to share is there love of family and friends, it would have more sensible to keep his own ranch and move Miss Ellie there, JR and his siblings since he was the first born and if he should die before Bobby then it should go to Bobby,
I agree with JR. Why did Miss Elle jump in the sack of Clayton so quickly anyways ?
Bilal Ahmed: Ms. Ellie didn't "jump in the sack with Clayton so quickly." Clayton took very good care of Ms. Ellie when her boys were battling for Ewing Oil. Even Bobby didn't really care about Ms. Ellie when he was battling JR for Ewing Oil.
Life goes on
