Agreed. And who could’ve guessed that Larry Hagman would go from a bumbling character in I Dream of Jeannie to arguably one of the greatest tv villains in history
jr tried and tried before to take west star over before i was glad to see him finally get it and i loved how he got bobby back in to the oil business. this dallas special was a classic.
@@Dem-yv6qz you obviously never saw the reunion made for tv movies the return of Jr ewing and war of the ewings Jr took over west star at the end of the return of Jr ewing.
The fundamental problem with the "reboot" is it ignored all the events of the two Dallas movies. Also, as we saw in the reboot, the focus was less on "Oil" and more on politically correct things such as Solar Energy. I personally believe the only way to have any form of "reboot" for Dallas would be to have the reboot take place in the past - sort of like a "Prequel." Obviously we could never hope to have anyone other than Larry Hagman, Patrick Duffy, and Ken Kerchevel play the roles of J.R. Bobby, and Cliff. However, Dale Midkiff did an excellent job of playing Jock in the movie called Dallas: The Early Years. This demonstrates we could have a continuation of where Dallas: The Early Years left off set several decades before the first Dallas show started.
@@michaelzoran They should have included the Movies because on J.R. gravestone says the only deal he lost meaning he had to somehow got back at Carter McKay eventually and I agree with you the show could take place between Dallas early years-The Original series.That is something they can do, they can do a TV series that takes place (between Dallas The Early Years - 1978 Series ,with extras being discussed) a lot of stuff can be discussed 1)JR Ewing joining his dads company (Ewing oil) and eventually meeting Sue Ellen 2)How Gary met Valene 3)JR sending Goons to take Valene child Lucy to live on Southfork 4)Jock Ewing leaving dallas to go to WW2,having a affair with Margaret Hunter which she ended up pregnant and having Ray Krebbs. 5)How Digger Barnes meeting Rebecca Wentworth and having Cliff Barnes while being still angry and upset with jock 6)Rebecca running away after having a affair with Hutch Mckinney with ending with Digger taking his life and setting jock up for it. 7)Gary being tired or JR Ewing and running away from Dallas 8)Bobby and Jeanna Wades relationship and her leaving him at the alter the first time. Then end of the series will show Bobby and Pam marrying the first time (1978) and driving to Southfork. 9)JR cheating Elema Ramos family out of a deed So so much can be discussed that this series can last many seasons. Now While having that they can do 1 or a few 2 hr movies to wrap up the current timeline. But in just my opinion they need to re-include Dallas Jr returns and War of the Ewings timeline because JR had on his gravestone the only deal he lost meaning he had to get Carter mckay and win wesstar oil. They could include that maybe JR was still running West Star until he got older around the mid 2000s and maybe got sick or something happened to him around the 2009 recession Bobby (down as his next of kin) took over JRS business and while Bobby and Sue ellen sold their shares of west star and Ewing Oil to other share holders which Barnes Global immediately bought the majority shares of WestStar and Ewing Oil. Upon learning That Ewing no longer own Ewing Oil and West Star and that Barnes now owns both they upsets JR to the point of him not speak to anyone until the meeting with John Ross in 2012.
J.R. was super obsessed with owning Ewing Oil, no matter what. Maybe it was because it was His Daddy's company. Maybe it was like Captain Kirk obsession with the Enterprise, multiplied by 1,000. Weststar was worth millions to a billion more than Ewing Oil. His stock ownership alone, was many millions worth more. Yet, no matter how much wealth he had, J.R. had to have Ewing Oil. Call it obsessive compulsive disorder.
I think it was cause Jock always wanted to have Ewing Oil last forever as a family business, and he always instilled that dream in JR and Bobby. But since JR was the most comparable to Jock than all the Ewing sons I think it was his goal to make sure he kept his daddy’s dream alive as long as he could. And in the series JR would say that he loved his company and he loved his son above all else. So even here as he took over WestStar which like you said was enormous compared to Ewing Oil even during its height, he wanted to have his son inherit the company that his daddy started. Jr always wanted to prove to his father that he could carry on his legacy no matter what.
it was cannon until 2012 i believe they should have had this cannon and maybe wrote in a storyline between 1996-2012 that during around the 2008 recession JR maybe had a massive stroke and was getting to old to run weststar so the boards retired him then Bobby decided that energy was the way of the future while he was getting older so he retired and sold Ewing oil but Cliff decided to get back in the oil business and buy ewing oil from the folks who bought it from Bobby. JR (finding out the boared retired him and bobby selling owing oil and cliff regaining ewing oil) upset with bobby and everyone went into a depression and didnt speak to anyone until 2012.
JR Returns and War of the Ewings were canon until Cidre and her team came along and developed the TNT version. They ignored the two reunion movies and possibly the early years movie. IMO, it's TNT Dallas that shouldn't be considered canon due largely to the changes in the characters and storylines from the original series.
@@UnknownRaiderGuy JR wasn't broke, just broken. He had lost his company (again) and Cliff Barnes was running it. John Ross was in England with Sue Ellen and James was gone, too. Bobby was running Southfork and was the sole owner. No parents or wife either, he was depressed and drunk.
There was a three part mini series about halfway between the time of the last Dallas TV series and this TV movie. JR was still running Westar and Bobby was running Ewing Oil along with Sue Ellen. The important part was that it kept continuity with this TV movie. About the worst thing they did with the new series IMO was completely ignoring both this movie and that mini series and starting the show off with JR stuck in a nursing home. The actor they got to play John Ross was good as was the idea of Barnes having a daughter named Pam that was involved with John Ross (good actress played her too) and of course JR stole every single scene he was in (so much so that the series couldn't survive after his death).
While I'm not a fan of the reunion movies, at least JR had better revenge ideas than he had in the 2012 revival series...... the only tricks JR had there was to fake being in a mental coma for 20 years and killing himself
This was the reunion movie Dallas: JR Returns in 1996, 5 years after the series had ended in '91. I liked this one, the 2nd one reunion movie, Dallas: War of the Ewings in 1998, wasn't that good.
The Dallas Reunion movies I think have "dream season" status on them as they weren't cannon to the TNT Dallas revival. At least that is what I've been told.
Usually when a TV series is canceled, TV Movies are made, they are usually made to finish what the creators wanted to finish during the series ran, but when a cancellation happens, that is when a TV movie comes into play.
@@forestgeorge8855 Both of the movies should have been canon because they were more in line with the continuity (Canon) than what the 2012 TNT Dallas Revival was.
I feel James should have been in this. He could have gotten Ewing Oil instead of Bobby and then sold half to Sue Ellen. I think it would have made more sense in War of the Ewings for Sue Ellen to develop an attraction due to his being JR's and having his characteristics.
Yeah except his actor was a criminal and a lot of people never even knew about James because the original series was on it's very last legs by the time James came along. He wasn't missed in any of the continuations of the show IMO.
@@ashleighelizabeth5916 Sasha Mitchell was not a criminal. He eventually was cleared as hisex- wife was a drug addict. His career was destroyed over stuff he never did
@@ashleighelizabeth5916 Sasha Mitchell said he was protecting his children from his wife. That he was awarded custody after the fact while she was given limited visitations pretty much says all we need to know about the case.
You could never recast J.R. Ewing outside of Larry Hagman.

I gotta use that J.R. quote! “Somedays you’re the windshield and somedays you’re the bug”
Godfather i got to agree with you on that one.Somedays you're the windshield,somedays you're the bug.
that was from a song
Good Mary Chapin Carpenter song
@@justina249 It's actually a Dire Straits song that Mary Chapin Carpenter covered. I think her version did better on the charts.
I use it all the time.
Bobby never aged
Remember, Duffy was about 20 yrs younger than Hagman & was prob in his mid-40s in this scene.
I remember this.
The 90s comeback wasn’t actually too bad and well written
2:50 best song ever
The perfect ending.
As ruthless as ever!

And Scotty was obsessed with the engine room.
But Bobby got it back and kept it in the family again.
LOL, "Your long-range plan just fell on its ass!"
Wish this was canon:
-Bobby got Ewing Oil back from Cliff
-JR is chairman and CEO of Westar Oil due to enough shares he bought
it was cannon until 2012

Kennedy was a legend.
I thought wasn't that bad in Dallas.
Aside from JR and Bobby he was probably the best part of the last three seasons
JR got what he wanted.
To me this was the true ending of Dallas.
The 2012 series was good as well but disregarded this miniseries.
The reboot needed better continuity and it probably would have done better if it was not called Dallas and changed the names.
