On March 21, 1980, J.R. Ewing, the biggest villian in prime-time television history is gunned down in the offices of the Ewing Oil Building. Viewers had to wait all summer long to see if Sue Ellen (his beautiful suffering wife), Bobby (his heroic younger brother), Vaughn Leeland (his cheated business partner), Alan Beam (his former protege), Cliff Barnes (his long time enemy) or even Jock and Miss Ellie (his own parents!) pulled the trigger!
On November 21, 1980 - The greatest mystery on television was finally solved!!
A record 83,000,000 viewers watched the revelation of "Who Shot J.R.?" making it THE highest rated television episode of all time!
....And just how did J.R. "handle Kristen in his own way"?? On the season finale, let's just say Kristen ends up taking a jump off a balcony at Southfork and ends up face down in the Ewing swimming pool... dead.
Nobody crosses good ol' J.R. Ewing!!...Nobody.
