Dallas: J.R sets up the Energy Commissioner.

[@dgontar]

To really appreciate this show you had to have watched the episodes when they came out, not 30 or 40 years later. The dramatic impact that these shows had cannot be understood really any other way. This show was larger than life. That's the only way I can put it. It was THE show, not A show. It is the ultimate.

[@sweetdaddy77]

You made it a point to be tuned in on Friday nights, that's for sure.

[@kennethperry3641]

I agree 100%.. JR was the best

[@SaxonC]

Nobody blackmailed people like JR Ewing! No villain on tv could touch him!

[@andyfaithnomoreguitarist5444]

JR was no villain,he was the best bussinesman in history!

[@itsmylife842]

I agree completely! J. R. Ewing was the best!! He always knew just how to get whatever he wanted. ;)

[@SequentiallyCompact]

He's saying no *villain* can touch him, not that JR is a villain. He's more of an antihero. A part of me wishes there could be something akin to a JR Ewing/Walter White Feud. That would have been something.

[@devinbiz]

Joan Collins tried to compete with him as Alexis, but she couldn’t hold a candle to JR

[@gregwatson8219]

Yes!!

[@MrDamien1963]

Good ol' J.R. Just when you think you've got him, he's got you!

[@derekmathews1818]

Hook, Line, and Sinker LOL! JR never got blackmailed, he did the blackmailing.

[@SteveHolsten]

The three B's; Broads, Booze & Booty!!!

[@OntarioAndrews415]

JR was the man back in the day. And his transition from Major Nelson to JR Ewing was brilliant. No type casting for that dude! :)

[@GeorgeCarlinWasAGod]

Damn straight!

[@Koldeman]

The Commissioner made two mistakes before even going to that girl's room- he crossed JR and he didn't high-tail it outta there when JR subtly told him he admired him not considering the consequences. That's the moment any smart man would walk away.

[@patrickjames1159]

It would be a hell of a righteous man to turn away from that !

[@robertscott8344]

​@@patrickjames1159 yes when he's being set up.

[@LoyalR-ed2gx]

Ol J.R.

[@zztops4504]

This was commissioner's only 2nd time in life and that's hard to walk away from!

[@carltaylor8370]

Damn that's cold JR Ewing the best that ever done it. No one could come close.

[@joerules829]

No one used the power of poon quite like JR Ewing.

[@SteveHolsten]

Yep, he got more than his share of Poon-Tang Pie & spread it about to get what he wanted

[@ronyeahright9536]

hey now!! i find that term offensive!!! #snowflake

[@cjh661]

Didn't Bobby later on call these 2 broads hookers??

[@joerules829]

@@cjh661 the difference was he didn’t enjoy it. JR reveled in these moments.

Truth is it worked then, before then and even 1000 years from now lol. Semper.Fidelis

[@SaxonC]

This never gets old! JR’s the name, blackmail’s my game! I also loved watching JR constantly screwing over the Cartel! Year after year, Jordan Lee and the gang never learned their lesson!

[@overcomerbtboj]

[@jrewing6478]

I'm jr Ewing and Ewing oil is my game

[@buicklincoln]

J.R. always had the best "friends." That young lady was spectacular.

[@warrenhoffman2006]

Michelle Johnson was in the movie Blame it on Rio with Michael Caine.

[@JohnGardnerKpt]

Wow I’d recognize Michelle Johnson anywhere. The loyal Dallas fan that I am remembers her from this episode as well as War of the Ewing’s in 1998 as Jennifer Jantzen!

This how it goes down in real life...except they catching them with kids now!

Begs the question, is there anything JR wouldn’t do to get his way. Answer.....NOPE?

[@PlanetBlake]

That was easy pickin's for ole' JR

[@willisapril]

Bill Clinton would probably be easier to set up.

[@BRENDAJASON1]

4:21 lol he looks like he’s getting ready to droollll

JR, greatest character in the history of TV, Larry Hagman one of the best actors of all time!

The waitress in the beginning is a stunner! 💯

[@sgthjennings]

The only person that comes close is Victor Newman from Young n Restless..

Victor is not even close or near like JR.

[@nyracingfan]

A few years later, Nathan Billings resurfaced as Chancellor Arnold on Beverly Hills 90210 lol

[@nrkgalt]

His favorite student had been the roommate of a different Dallas actor, Brad Pitt.

[@patrickmccarron5059]

And that's Blackmail 101.

[@honda350racer6]

It's impossible to have too much pouring and drinking out of glasses in the shows back then.

[@edwardmalone5257]

He set up Harv Smithfield's son-in-law in similar fashion.

[@Sandman35739]

What a schmuck. He deserved to be blackmailed.

[@MMAfighter38113]

Rhonda is a babe

[@1981lashlarue]

That's Michelle Johnson. If you haven't, you need to check her out in Blame it on Rio.

[@MMAfighter38113]

I saw that about 30 years ago. I need to watch it again. 😛😛

[@1981lashlarue]

+carlo donofrio Didn't realize that. I'll have to check it out again.

Watch the tales from the crypt episode she is in. The scene of her in the shower. Best breasts I ever saw

Hey, that was the Blame it on Rio chick.

[@oubrioko]

Kept expecting 'Rhonda' to call him, "Uncle Matthew."

[@donnn-ow4rj]

Haha obviously blame it on Rio fan!!! The actress looks years older here even tho it was about a year after that movie!!

[@grizzlybare3771]

Can't blame him. That is one irresistible woman!!

[@streetMind_Body_Business_816]

The women of America learned VERY-WELL from J.R. !

[@jameskennedy4377]

Good scenes, very similar to when JR set-up Harv Smithfield's new son-in-law so he could see the codicil to Jock's will (those scenes, imo, were some of the best of the entire series). Hagman looks awful here, however. Not sure if it's just that he's stopped wearing his hairpiece and has his hair combed so ridiculously forward or if he was actually ill at the time or what.

[@SteveHolsten]

Sarina looked almost as good except she was older. I like the younger ones like Michelle Johnson.

[@anb7408]

Even in the reboot series, JR was just as devious, pulling up dirt on a supposedly “squeaky clean” state DA. You’d think people would’ve learned their lesson not to mess with JR. But, nope! 😂

[@robertmasina4610]

In real life men should beware if an attractive woman shows interest in a man, she likely wants something from that man.

[@arlenacampbell200]

J.R. was a beast!!

[@dmanigo77]

Now THAT’S a setup.

[@theredbaronlives9889]

Rhonda is Erika Eliniak who later was in movies such as under seige with Steven segal

[@eddiestephenpaul7659]

No it's Michelle Johnson . She was in Blame on Rio with Michael Caine. She was in The Glimmer Man with Segal though.

[@formerlybernard6460]

And Baywatch.
