The now departed Larry Hagman is great and was the best in the role of JR Ewing. And that nobody can and never, ever replace him. As a lot of people thought that he would never top his "I Dream of Jeannie" nice guy role of Major Tony Nelson.
He seemed to have such a great time doing JR after playing second banana and straight man to Barbara Eden after all of those years. The show was full of backstabbing on a personal and professional level. Along with being so dysfunctional.
It proved that money did not buy you happiness. But it sure can make you more backstabbing in the heart of Dallas TX. Hagman has support with Linda Gray, Victoria Principal, Barbara Bel Gedes as Miss Ellie, the matriarch of the Ewing family, and Patrick Duffy as nice brother Bobby.
Still it is Hagman that steals the show each and every single time. As it was going to have Bobby and Pam Ewing as the two stars, played respectively by Duffy and Principal But in the end, JR ended up being the man you love to hate and the focal character.
RIP Larry and Barbara Bel as you are now reunited!
score 10/10
