Dallas: J.R finds out John Ross was in the Hospital.

[@smitchix1]

The score to the scene starting at 2:30 is absolutely fabulous. The scores on Dallas were a vastly underrated part of the success of the show.

[@zuzanazuscinova5209]

Very true

[@ambergreenhous4701]

I always laugh when JR always say "when she gets upset she starts sucking on that bottle" I'm 💀😂😂😂😂

[@a.b.sproductionsllc]

Clayton had no right to put his hands on J.R. He didn’t even need to be in the conversation.

[@LBF522]

I agree. He annoyed me. He has no place there.

[@MIKIEEYEZ1975]

He was an outsider!! An Interloper! Miss Ellie was an A hole to marry Clayton!!

[@MIKIEEYEZ1975]

Clayton also always had the hots for Sue Ellen, that’s why he always took her side!! He wanted to tap that so bad!!

[@astaciamckinnis3969]

The way Bobby looked at J.R like I don't believe you're gonna help Sue Ellen and just walked away

[@eddpower5425]

It's always seems to be Bobby who finds her drunk😂

[@user-mj8nf2vp7q]

...Being married to JR was reason enough to drink. 👍🏽💯🤔

By that logic then you can blame a man's alcoholism on the wife's behavior

Clayton needed a good slap. Who the hell did he think he was

[@willisapril]

The husband of the owner of Southfork

[@CircHistory]

This is something that I'm kind of feeling different about. Usually I'm on Sue Ellen inside, because JR's quite manipulative of her. But I think JR was right for getting freaked out.

[@SaxonC]

I never thought that Clayton was a interesting character. He was only there to pair up Miss Ellie after Jock died. Then again, nobody could fill Jock Ewing’s shoes or Jim Davis’. The Jock Ewing character was such a force to be reckoned with, that even his memory and legacy fueled Show until Dallas went off the air 10 years after Jim Davis passed away. That amazing oil portrait of Jock Ewing had such a presence that it was almost as if Jock was physically present. Jock’s always upstaged Clayton and stood as a reminder that Jock Ewing still was the head of the entire Ewing family and the rightful owner of South Fork Ranch. Dallas is still an amazing seres even 40 years after it first aired on CBS April 2nd 1978

[@LBF522]

I never care for Clayton. JR was right he was an outsider who did not belong.

[@sharonjackson268]

Yes indeed, I loved some JOCK EWING, he kept those boys in line. I loved to hear JOCK and PUNK Anderson talk about wildcatting...

[@nofacespacetasmr3008]

I liked Clayton more as a kind father figure to Sue Ellen but after season 5 he’d had out stayed his welcome and after he married Miss Ellie I just was annoyed with him

[@eddpower5425]

I always laugh at Sue Ellen slumped over the piano

[@amateur_football9751]

She disgusts me, reminds me of a drunken uncle that wreak havoc on my grandfathers house with senseless drama, he had an early death at 41 years old

[@ddmck1972]

At 1:41, it was very convenient of JR to set that drink on the table, just like when he set his keys down before Sue Ellen went on a drunken joy ride.

[@KAMALAISHERNAME]

J.R.: "Yes I do. I understand, and I guarantee she's (Sue Ellen) gonna get all the help she needs." *Translation* : J.R.'S gonna throw her right back into the asylum, proving her as "unfit" to care for John Ross and have her thrown off South Fork...

[@scorpioguy3234]

@ 1:04 lol i thought Sue Ellen was covered full of blood or wine😂

[@stephaniebibb9102]

I love Donna Reed, but she never ever could be Miss Ellie...

Barbara Bel Geddes, was ill, they needed a Miss Ellie; what should Dallas have done?

[@Eddie-61864]

Just not include her character in that season! Unfortunately this wasn't the dream season, only missed by 1 Season!​@@maureenmcgovern6119

[@hardren101]

never understood why ellie wld not shut clayton's bullshit dwn.....there were kids in that house.....JR is a grown as man that say what he pleases.....clayton threating to take him outside is highly inappropriate n ellie shld have shut that shit dwn at gate....clayton,i love you and you are welcome here but i wld not have you threating jr n i dnt care what the provocation...

[@LBF522]

Yes I never saw the purpose for Clayton.

[@eddpower5425]

It's kinda sad that Sue Ellen returned to drink after this

[@astaciamckinnis3969]

Edd Power I'm tired of her drinking and feeling overwhelmed

[@perezhernandez8097]

where wasJ.R. when John Ross was taken by Miss Ellie and Clayton to the hospital it's his fault too always making Sue Ellen at fault

[@kewanw16]

Exactly and wrongfully blaming Sue Ellen for John Ross ending up in the hospital with a ruptured appendix was a stupid thing to do he should've been grateful that both Miss Ellie and Clayton including Ray Krebbs was there .

[@LA4HINGIS]

Ellie never call j.r. on his cellphone either..ellie fucked up

[@patricialinguissi8732]

He was certainly on a woman where else? Don't forget that he was a cheat and a liar during all the Dallas seasons

[@derekmathews1818]

Gary Ewing, and Sue Ellen Ewing are acoholics for the love of god. They both have fallen off the wagon. They both showed how vulnerable they were in the Season 2 Episode 8 at JR's funeral, and everything when Cliff Barnes showed up out of nowhere. But even with as bas as JR treated Sue Ellen, her being an acholic is on HER, not him! She can't blame JR, or John Ross for that, and the fact that she did blame both of them for her decision is messed up.

[@faithwatkins7811]

Both alcoholics for the same reason. Jr Ewing he always put Gary down and felt he couldn't measure up and Sue Ellen constantly being cheated on and mistreated by Jr.

[@Eddie-61864]

That's probably why they hooked up in the reboot version of Dallas 2012!🍾🍷🍺

[@brothergaryii]

Sue Ellen lost it... lost her temper with JR when he told her their son had nearly died of a ruptured appendix. Also, she continues to do the same thing Gary [Ewing] has been doing on Season 4 & Season 12 of "Knots Landing" (that was drinking).

[@drlee2]

I don't remember Gary drinking in Season 12. Unless you mean that time when Danny Waleska attacked him and forced the alcohol down his throat while Gary was almost unconscious and tried to kill him making it look like Gary crashed his car while driving drunk. But that wasn't Gary's choice.

[@brothergaryii]

No, it wasn't. And that's exactly what I meant on "Knots Landing".

[@wendyrichmond1755]

Maybe if JR wasn't so bloody cruel, she wouldn't.

[@kewanw16]

J.R. went too far .

[@astaciamckinnis3969]

She needs to stop drinking and stop feeling sorry for herself, she just made a tiny mistake

[@lemonhead162]

I know, right!

[@nofacespacetasmr3008]

This scene right here is my Sue Ellen should’ve never gotten custody of John Ross, now we can’t blame her for not knowing that John Ross was in the hospital but then showing up to the hospital drunk that should’ve shown right there that she was an unfit mother no no judge in his right mind would give Suellen custody it never made sense to me how she got custody of him in season nine and again in season 12. Jr shouldn’t have had custody either he was with Mandy when John Ross was in the hospital

[@marvelousmel7879]

I loved Sue Ellen's hairstyle here. Awwww.... The 80's!!

[@delavalmilker]

I never could understand why--with an alcoholic in the family--the Ewings kept all that hard liquor right-out in the open in that house.

[@CaAnPeSe4ever]

Actually, alcoholics need to learn to still live with alcohol around them including liquor in the house and other people drinking, it’s part of the recovery process and disciplining themselves to not weaken and resist it. They are the ones with the problem and have to deal with it, not everyone else.

[@johnnotgalt2697]

@@CaAnPeSe4ever Exactly right!!

[@jrewing1512]

If there's one that came out of that hell you called marriage from JR and Sue Ellen was John Ross. They loved that boy too death and it was the best acheivment that came out of their marriage

There she goes drinking again
