March 21, 1980. There have been few times that more people in America were desperate to know Who Done It. Dallas was a hugely popular show and its 1980 season finale ended with J.R. Ewing, played by Larry Hagman, shot by an unseen assailant. All summer people buzzed and "Who shot J.R.?" t-shirts sold like Ewing petroleum. When the answer was revealed on November 21, more people were watching than voted in the presidential election weeks before.

The first few seasons were probably the best. We got a hold of the DVD's and watched the entire season over a couple of years---great fun!
