Dallas Bobby's Will

Bobby's Will - as requested by MrsBobbyJamesEwing.
I didn't like this season as much, but it was still good. It was too soft at times. The end to this scene is great though, when JR and Pam look at eachother.
Don't forget to watch the NEW Dallas series coming June 13th on TNT (US) and on BRAVO (Canada).

[@derekmathews1818]

+Soojee Pyo, to me, Bobby was an idiot to that. 30% of Ewing Oil to his mother for Christopher. Don't mind that, but he should have given that to JR. I know Pam is your wife, but dude, that's Cliff Barnes sister man. She was thinking with his heart, not his head.

[@SaxonC]

Soojee Pyo Larry Hagman said playing JR was like having a license to steal! He played him with a wink and a nod to the audience and his genius, paid off a hundredfold! Because of his talent, he played JR Ewing in a way that the viewers loved to hate. I always on JR’s side and I’m sure deep down that everyone that watched this series, felt the same way. How many TV villains had such forgiving followers? Larry WAS Dallas and because of his portrayal of JR Ewing, he became the true star and glue that kept Dallas on TV. He was irreplaceable and he knew it and he masterfully played the producers and network executives to renegotiate a deal that made him the highest paid and powerful actor on TV. A great man and my favorite actor. God bless and rest you, Mr Hagman. 👍

Pam and JR are looking at each other and saying to themselves after learning that Pam is holding Christopher's shares in Ewing Oil "You have got to be kidding me!" Of course, this is what the Creator of Dallas(David Jacobs) wanted. To set up Pam and JR as protagonist and Antagonist and leaving the rest of the Ewings to mourn Bobby's death. Victoria Principal and Larry Hagman did a good job during this season!

[@LarryLeeMoniz]

This is the season that was all a dream! What a kick in the nuts to the fans.

[@HnHBlkM]

A piece of trivia: Did anyone know that when Dallas was original conceived, Bobby was suppose to die in a car accident, and leave his percentage of Ewing Oil to Pam? The series was then supposed to be about Pam going on with her life without the love of her life and having to deal daily with the Ewings, especially JR. By the time the 5 part miniseries ended, Bobby proved to be too popular of a character to kill off so they scrapped that original ending.

[@glorymosbyfloyd3878]

HnHBlkM : Aahh, hence it was all just a dream season!!! Masterfully put together

[@redletter2008]

HnHBlkM - I do recall reading about that. Only problem was Bobby didn’t own any part of Ewing Oil. Jock owned it all. Perhaps Pam would have received an inheritance from Bobby, but she would likely have taken it and left. Not sure why she would stay (the concept had her remaining at Southfork for dramatic purposes I believe).

[@bramlintrent1145]

Pretty clearly the inspiration for the initial miniseries was "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" by Tennessee Williams, with Jock as Big Daddy, Miss Ellie as Big Mama, Bobby and Pam as Brick and Maggie, JR & Sue Ellen as Brother Man and Sister Woman, and Lucy as the No-Neck Monster ...... In "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof", Maggie was always the one who had to stand-up to Gooper. I believe that by intending to kill-off Bobby early in the show's run, David Jacobs intended to fully capitalize on the battles between Maggie the Cat and Brother Man.

[@laminage]

Yeah, that blew me away! Also when Bobby talked about The Pocket Watch, it kind of reminded me of the one that Chase Gioberti inherited on the Pilot Episode of Falcon Crest. It belonged to his Father Jason with the Falcon Crest Logo on it. Also as you know Falcon Crest was produced by Lorimar that also holds the rights to Knots Landing, Eight Is Enough & The Waltons.

[@kbirdus]

@@redletter2008 Yep - it was the main problem with the dream season concept, too. With Bobby gone, there was absolutely no reason for Pam to stick around and continue to be involved with the Ewings’ lives.

Yes. Also CBS had no idea that was was supposed to be a Five Part Miniseries would be a Worldwide Phenomenon that this year celebrates 40 Years this year. It kind of parallels The UK Soap Opera Emmerdale that debuted in 1972 where it was only supposed to be 26 Episodes but now is The Second Longest Running Soap Opera on UK TV the longest being Coronation Street that debuted on December 9 1960. There was a Family similar to The Ewings called The Kings which consisted of Father Tom his Three Sons Matthew, Jimmy, Carl and a Long Lost Son from a rendez vous with a Woman named Max as well as a Daughter named Scarlett Mary by his Dying Wife's Nurse named Carrie.

Bobby could and because Ray only found out he was a Ewing in Later Years didn't have to deal with Jock the way he did. Gary was more Southworth than Ewing in the sense the he had a love of the Land.

True they had to erase it to bring Bobby back, but that was because the head honchos hadn’t the time to create another good storyline to bring Bobby back in another realistic way. They had only a few months to do it. True it had other issues like the glitter and glamour which hadn’t been made for Dallas, but it wasn’t that bad overall.
