Dallas: The best of Jock Ewing.

Jock was a man's man never a dull moment on dallas with the late jim davis r.i.p

This original cast made Dallas into an iconic nighttime drama.

[@melissagahn]

I love Jock. Rest In Peace Jim Davis. 1909-1981.

[@zombiefulci3301]

Jim Davis toiled for decades in TV and low budget movies until he became Jock Ewing and then it was so short. Life truly isn't fair. I loved Jim Davis, he was gold

[@TheAutisticCapricorn811]

R.I.P. Jim Davis From being in western films to a night time prime soap opera, his great presence will always be remembered.

[@SaxonC]

JR was the Center of Dallas but Jock was its backbone. Even after Jock died, he played a pivotal role until the end. Jock was a man's man and the only man that JR looked up to and the only person that JR would never betray. Even when JR mortgaged Southfork, it was to make Jock and Ewing Oil proud. Sue Ellen once said "Everything JR did, he did for his daddy. Even persecuting me, it was to show Jock that he didn't lose his grandson". They don't write characters like Jock Ewing anymore. Society is too wussified.

[@ed2kou1]

Saxon C yeah they kept him in the show with the painting or they’d talk about him.. They even had a story about him where that one guy was claiming he was Jock..

[@phalynwilliams4119]

After Jim Davis died, they even tried to replace him with another actor Steve Forest but the fans would not hear of it. Jim Davis’ memory loomed large over the show.

[@BeavisChipolte]

I'm just now rewatching the Season 1 mini-series before getting into the rest of the show. Jock was an awesome character. Smart, tough, ruthless, blunt, honest, driven yet moral, quietly generous and absolutely loyal to and protective of his family. Dude was a multi-millionaire oil man and head of the biggest independent oil company in Texas and he loved ranching, drinking, fighting, hunting and finding oil. A man's man and the only man JR completely feared and respected.

[@brunoottina293]

Jock was the glue of that family,. He was damn good actor.

[@salt27dogg]

JR was the evil side of Jock while Bobby was the good side of Jock. Gary was a Southworth. Ray? Well Ray was at least tough like Jock but not confident because he was a half of a Ewing.

[@viqarkagzi3922]

Teri Kay::::: half Ewing or not. He was a great character. I liked, Ray he had allot of jock characteristics. John Ross is not J R son. It’s Ray krebbs son it was revealed in the biography of Dallas . Sue Ellen got pregnant, with Rays son. Brought up by J R and Sue Ellen. They never thought it was any body else’s.

[@salt27dogg]

Jock was a true gentleman. There are men out there like this but they are very few and far between. Sad but true. I strive to be like Jock Ewing every day. I love my family. I don't have a wife and kids but I have my mom, my stepdad, my sister, and my nieces. Everything I do, I do for them to show that I am becoming the man that my family wants and more. Family is everything. When you lose your family, whatever the reason may be, you don't have much. However, you still got their memories.

I was watching an old Bette Davis movie and didn't recognize the love interest as Jim Davis. He aged like fine wine, handsome and that voice! He was perfect in Dallas. RIP

[@StBarts-hn1qw]

Jock was a "Man's Man". And this is coming from a woman. I would love a man like him: strong, virile, and determined to keep his family first in his life. He really made this show and Dallas was never the same when he died. Ellie was the epitome of a good woman; she also kept her family first and taught her sons the value of family, hard work and respect. Although JR failed in many of those aspects. This was still an amazing show. One of the best.

[@mactwns6373]

St. Barts / i can tell u really watched the show& i agree with ur comments...but everything j.r. did was to impress jöck...

[@tombstone1111]

Dan Tee, you are correct. And Jock Ewing was certainly no Democrat! I doubt Jim Davis was either.

[@argerinejordan4703]

St. Barts Well said!!😁😁

[@VultCult]

The Barnes and Donna were (implied) Democrats, as was Sam and Dave Culver. Sam was Jock's first lawyer, and later on Jock appeared at a Dave Culver rally in Season 4. Earlier on, Jock and JR also supported candidates for public office against Cliff (likely a Republican). So I think - like most business folks - Jock tended to shift from Democrat to Republican as his interests required.

Only around 3 or 4 years and a legend. Can you imagine if he had lived another 10 or 15 years

[@maineindividual5202]

I always wondered what it had been like had he lived and stayed on the show until the end. Imagine Ewing Oil not being owned by multiple people and tossed around like a dirty tampon? When he and Bel Geddes got older and needed a brake they could have taken caribean vacations and maybe stopped off in California to visit Gary and Val

[@daveb.4460]

Jock was, by far, the best character on the show. Several were great, but he was the greatest. I sat on the edge of my seat during his scenes. And later in life, around 2000, I would come to acquire a 1978 Lincoln Continental exactly like Jock's in the exact same color, with the exact same interior.

[@lawrencethompson1875]

Dave B. What about J.R.?

[@Rumpelstyltskin]

Dave B. Fantastic boy!

[@PlanetBlake]

Dave B. : I respectively disagree. I liked Jock's character a lot, and when he died it was an awful lose, but he wasn't by far the best character IMO. JR was the best character, and the one character the show couldn't do without. Bobby was a great character too, as was Miss Ellie. Also, in their own ways, Sue Ellen and Cliff were both very deep and interesting characters. Both were highly flawed, and still likeable in some ways. Jock was a huge part of the show no doubt, but the show still thrived without him. It was never the same, but they still found a way to thrive. One of the most important parts of the Jock character though, was the fact that JR's character drew all of his motivation from Jock. JR''s constant need to run Ewing Oil like his father did, and to please his father...etc, etc. Jock was the only person who could strike true fear, respect and love into JR. Sure, JR loved, respected and feared his mother Ellie too, but it wasn't the same as his constant idolization and need to please his father. Even after Jock was gone, JR's need to please him and make proud never ceased.

[@powerwagon1897]

I agree ....after Jock died I lost interest in the show. JR was the bad guy, but Jock was the "Godfather" that everyone was trying to get attention from.....

In my opinion the fictional character, Jock Ewing, was three-dimensional -- a complex mixture of good and evil. You don't have to either like or dislike Jock to have respect and admiration for how skillfully Jim Davis played that character. Not even Charlton Heston or John Wayne could have performed that role as well as he did.

[@SaxonC]

The great thing about Dallas was that the Ewings always stuck together and never betrayed or schemed against Jock or Miss Ellie. Unlike the other night time soaps like Falcon Crest Dynasty where the kids always plotted against their parents. Dallas was at its best when the Ewing family were together during dinner breakfast and out by the pool.. The chemistry between all the actors made the show great

Hi Sharon Reynols I agree Jim Davidson and Barabara Ball Gedhes were truli incredible actors

[@maestroclassico5801]

In the early 2000s they had a reunion show and Entertainment Tonight interviewed some of them. When Victoria started talking about Jim she started to cry and they had to stop.

Looked like they almost did with that Wes Parmale non sense. I read multiple places they were fully intent on going forward with that story line but audience outrage made them pull back and make him NOT Jock. The actor playing Parmale had no chemsitry with bobby JR and Ray and wasnt physically old enough to be JRs father (nor was Bel Geddes for that matter)

[@phalynwilliams4119]

The fans protested their plans to replace Jim Davis so they were forced to drop the storyline. I think that it speaks volumes about Jim Davis and his portrayal of Jock and demonstrates his importance to the show. Ellie later remarried and Howard Keel was great but Jock was the man and was sorely missed. He do it all be hard as nails and then very kind and loving. He and Barbara added punch to the show. Their absence was felt.

They never considered a recast until Patrick left, and the show had a huge void. Patrick returned, they scrapped bringing back Jock

Jock was the old school oil man, as long as you stayed loyal and honest with him you’d be in his good graces. But if you tried to double deal him or try to mess with the Ewing family he’d go to war! Plus squaring up with him is like standing up against a lion or a grizzly!
