More about Dallas & JR Ewing

OK, I had lots of hits on my blog last week & after looking at the statistics, I'm thinking that there are lots of people reading about Dallas.  Well why not, it was awesome!  8,008 hits to date, thanks everyone!  I have previously written that I'm not much of a TV watcher & besides the Real Housewives of NJ (hey I'm a Jersey Girl!) & Fox News, I really don't watch much. All that changed two weeks ago with the return of JR Ewing.

This week was only one hour (boo!) but it was still great.  Cliff Barnes, the man who stole Ewing Oil from JR, was back - you know since he's Christopher's (still not a Ewing) uncle.  I love how he commented about how Pam just "disappeared" so many years ago.  Can we all smell a return of Pam at the season finale?  Well, I can.  I'm still not sold on the John Ross character, he's cute & drives Range Rover, but he's no JR, he has a lot to learn.  Especially when it comes to trying to trick JR.

Now years ago when I was in college & watched Melrose Place, I used to send out a silly email to about 20 friends recapping the Thursday night show.  Totally hokie, but people liked it.  My friend Amy still talks about it to this day, ok listen we are lame, but it was a great recap!  & everyone loves Dr. Peter Burns, well...not everyone......

So scheming JR pays some old guy in the nursing home to call Bobby & tell him that it would help JR immensely if he let him move back to South Fork, you know, to recuperate.  & of course, Bobby being Bobby says - well alrighty!  Oh Bobby, when will you learn?

Five minutes later JR is back at South Fork (an walking through some crazy side door) & voila - let the games begin.....but wait!  The next scene brings back JR's oldest nemesis.....CLIFF BARNES.  Say it ain't so!

I think my most favorite line of the night came when JR sees Cliff Barnes sitting in Bobby's study - he says - Time has not been kind to that face.  I'm going to have to remember that line for when I meet people later in life.  It's a good on for sure!

Lots of other silly things happened in this episode with the younger generation, but lets be serious...do we really care about Christopher (still not a Ewing) & John Ross?  OK, maybe a little.  But not as much at JR & Bobby!

I'll keep writing about JR as long as everyone keeps reading along.  Thanks to the statistics counter on Google, I'll let you know if it's popular or not.

So feel free to leave a comment if you like my Dallas recap, or not!  Whatever!  See ya Wednesday at 9 pm!
