[@MatthewPearson99]

I agree...he became weak in the last few seasons...people were starting to beat him.

[@SaxonC]

Mr. Memorabilia the producers did the character a disservice by turning JR into Cliff Barnes after the B.D Calhoun fiasco. The character of JR Ewing is what made Dallas the success it was and they really turned him into a buffoon. Even in the end, they kept him from controlling Ewing Oil.

I love how JR calls Alan Beam "boy". That's a major condescension. Highlights their experience levels and stations in life.

[@tatianalyulkin410]

Well, actually as much as I love JR he's got no pedigree whatsoever. His pedigree is his father's brains and iron will. That's all.

[@cbl1984]

In this era JR was pure evil. I hated how they softened him up near the end. By then everybody got the better of him and he became a shell of his former self

[@LBF522]

I agree. In later seasons they did water JR down to the point that he was no longer who he once was. That was awful to see.

[@tombstone1111]

He came back strong in the latter series. Framed Cliff Barnes for murder from the grave and sent him to prison for life.

Harry didn't solve a case for eight straight years, too busy doing JR's dirty work.

[@fwdthinker]

That JR was a MESS back in the day. Once you crossed him, it was over. Daaaaamn!

[@laminage]

In the Book it was worse. JR got a Cop to smash Alan in the Stomach and threw him in the Car. Alan almost got sick and the Cop calmly reminded him that if he did get sick on his car, he'd be torn apart. Also, remember what JR did to that Fellow who was dating Kristin. He was played by the Late Terry Lester who would spend Six Years as Jack Abbott #1 on The Young & The Restless from 1983-1989. He later died of a Heart Attack bought upon his HIV Status. Sadly enough Dack Rambo (Ex-Jack Ewing) would also die of AIDS.

[@wheelinthesky300]

A lot of people are pointing to this as "the peak" of Dallas. And maybe it was. I'd say it was the moment the series truly defined itself, as the miniseries was an introduction, and the 1978-1979 season was not serialized. The 1979-1980 season was the template for everything that came after it.

[@teddelguercio2173]

A solid analysis. I think the "peak" was aeound this time, maybe up until 1982 or 83. JR's ruthless was just on another level at this time. Good stuff.

I thought the producers made a mistake by getting rid of Alan and Kristin so fast at the start of the next season. They were among J.R.'s best foils, made him sweat a little bit. And they never found adversaries as good afterward.

Apparently Mary Crosby fought with producers over Salaries and stuff. Don't bite the hand that feeds you. Sometimes on A Soap Opera they feel that they can't do more with a character so they are written out.

He was told to leave town, and not to come back. In the Book The Ewings Of Dallas, Alan got smashed by The Crooked Cop (Mark McCluskey Godfather One), and hauled into JR's Office. After Kristin left town, Alan decided to leave as well.

[@allengilbert9545]

Totally agree. I originally thought it was Alan Beam or Vaughn Leland who shot J.R...but it was Kristin. Of all the people on Dallas to come/go, they could've done the most with Kristin: she could've taken up with J.R., Cliff, or Dusty Farlow, to get at her sister; she could've been a conniving secretary; she could've come between Bobby and Pam; she could've dragged Ray down or had an affair with Jock...the sky was the limit!

God this man was sick. I guess Kristin forgot about what he did to Rudy.

Also Kristin would eventually "die" and Alan Beame I hope got the heck out of dodge. I bet he's living in Atlanta, GA. doing well for himself. Even The Police Sargeant knew what he was doing was wrong, he knew that Alan was innocent.

[@laminage]

The Cop Harry evoked the image of Mark McCluskey in The Godfather who was on Sollozzo's Payroll. In The Book The Ewings Of Dallas Harry waited for Alan to come out of his Office, smashed him in the guts, and the poor fellow got sick. Harry said "If you get sick in My Car, I'll pulverize you!"
