Dallas: J.R tells Bobby it's time to step down as President of Ewing Oil.

I'm glad Miss Ellie put Sue Ellen in her place. Miss Ellie is definitely not the chick to mess with.

[@titanstorage7104]

She surely did. Take a look at the eye contact she makes with Sue Ellen as she walks away. It’s eye to eye and it says I’m not moving on this. I’m planted.

[@dwightpatton2540]

Jock Ewing was badass!!...bar none!!

[@VultCult]

Jock and Bobby (and pretty much everyone) were so duped by JR - that really was what made the series tick because the audience knew it. When Jim Davis died, the writers were stuck; so they evened out Bobby and JR. I think the whole Jock's will story-line gave the show really high ratings, but it was never the same after that.

[@itsmylife842]

@Dwight Patton Yes, he certainly was. He was the only person that could ever completely keep J. R. under control. And even he had trouble doing that some of the time. Once Jock died, J. R. could do just about whatever he wanted, much to the detriment of any of the other characters on the show. Dallas was definitely not the same once his character passed away!

[@SaxonC]

Jock was right and he let Bobby know just who founded Ewing Oil and who owns it!

[@brianmathew09]

BS

[@edwardmalone5257]

Miss Ellie was wrong. And Bobby and Jock were wrong for pushing JR out when JR got shot. They should have held things down until JR got better and then turned the company back over to JR when he got better. JR paid his dues while Bobby fooled around. Bobby cut and run and got rewarded for it. But when Gary ran away, Jock called him weak.

[@thecitriusinklinggames7532]

“ This is a Ewing Company” that’s what Jock told J.R. when he told him to include Bobby in the business. Bobby had married Pam and he was tired of the 3B’s booze, broads and blackmail missions that J.R. was sending him on. J.R. Had no intentions of sharing his power with his brothers.

[@titanstorage7104]

Actually, Bobby stepped up to the plate when JR was convalescing. He made Ewing Oil honest instead of dishonest and malicious. He didn’t run away when he was needed. JR felt Ewing Oil was his toy and no one else’s. The name on the “company” is Ewing, not JR.

[@bendavidson7122]

J.R. WAS ALWAYS STIRING THE SHIT

[@JosephRossetti]

Getting rid of JR was the best thing that happened to the company. Are you even serious

[@edwardmalone5257]

@@titanstorage7104Bobby knew that leaving Southfork again would break Miss Ellie's heart & that she would never forgive Jock if another son left. So he used the treat of leaving to his advantage. He even walked away from the breakfast table on Jock. And when Jock got up to follow Bobby and straighten him out, Miss Ellie stopped Jock. So J.R. was not the only manipulative character on this show. The only honest and innocent characters on this show were Digger Barnes' sister Maggie, Ray Krebbs' aunt Lil, and Harv Smithfield.

When Bobby got shot, J.R. decided not to muscle out his little brother. And he made that decision even before Donna substituted for Bobby at the office. He told his son John Ross that it was not right to take advantage of a family member when he is down. In that one sense, that makes J.R. a better man than Bobby.

Yes. From the moment Bobby started at Ewing Oil back in the day, JR did everything in his power to undermine him. Also, Pam is just as bad. In the Pilot Episode she whined to him about being an Executive, in Spy In The House, he carelessly misplaces some documents instead of putting him in his Briefcase and "Locking" it.

[@threerings1345]

JR was President of the company until he the night he got shot. Bobby was handed the reigns while JR recovered. When he did Bobby had decided he liked the power and wanted to keep the job. He was the apple of daddy's eye so he was allowed to remain the boss putting JR out to pasture. So who undermined who, here? JR should have let go of Ewing Oil right there and went off on his own instead of putting up w/ Bobby the rest of his life.

You're right but Jock was a Bundle Of Contradictions. He wanted His Sons to work in The Business, JR was just as bad and Sneaky (Southeast Asian Deal Anyone?).
