In 1980, “Who Shot J.R.”? It is night, and coldhearted J.R. Ewing sits in his office alone. And no wonder: In the course of the previous 50 minutes, he has managed to alienate, infuriate, and betray most of Texas, and all of his relatives. Itʹs Miller time! Then a door in the outer office opens and someone enters. “Whoʹs there?” J.R. asks. BLAM! He clutches his chest. BLAM! He hits the floor, exhales and…dies? The following November, more than 80 million viewers — nearly as many as voted in the presidential election that month — tuned in to Dallas for the resolution of this tantalizing cliffhanger. In case you forgot: It was Kristin who wounded J.R. It spawned a song by Gary Burbank “Who Shot J.R.” that got airplay on country radio and the Doctor Demento Show.
