Tears are streaming down my face.Larry Hagman has been gone for three months but tonight JR was shot

[Rowdyboy]

JR Ewing, the evilest bastard that ever was (next to Dick Cheney) has been shot and (spoiler alert!) killed.

An fabulous career that has finally ended on the perfect note.

1. oh no

2. I had a feeling...

somebody was going to shoot JR.

Perfect way for him to go....

3. He was literallly one of a kind, both on tv and in real life. One that I will miss greatly.

That said, how perfect to end with yet another infamous "who shot JR" episode. Larry would have loved that.

4. Don't you know he would have.....

What a way to go!

It was difficult for me to believe when I first saw him again in his role as JR that he was then 80 years. He did not miss a beat. It was like he shot the last episode of the former version yesterday. What an accomplished actor.

I agree this was the perfect exit for his character ... I miss him already.

6. I remember watching the premier of "I Dream of Jeanie"-I was 11 and loved the show...

7. Oh! I haven't seen it yet, but figured that's what they'd have to do

I've wondered if the new show has enough of a following to survive without JR...

8. I have to say-I love it. Hagman was such an iconic character and this was the perfect end...

As to the show in general, I'm a fan of both young male leads and love the original cast members plus Brenda Strong as Anne Ewing, Bobby's new wife. Judith Light has starred in a guest role in the last few episodes and she has been the epitome of EVIL. What an exceptional actor! Absolutely brilliant.....

9. I haven't seen the new season yet, have plans to get caught up with my friend

Since she has them all, but has fallen behind. She got me started on the new series, saw the first two with her and I was hooked. We were a little disappointed/confused by Bobby's new wife, but I guess that not everyone wanted to come back. And I agree that the young male leads are terrific. I alternately hate/feel sorry for John Ross, so I guess he's pretty effective.

I haven't seen Judith Light, but I also agree she's very good. I never watched the show she had with Tony Danza, but I remember her as the evil Karen Wolek on "One Life to Live..."
