Dallas TNT Special Opening Credits in honor of Larry Hagman

[@rexbanner4688]

There's a subtle but beautiful undertone to this tribute. JR locks the gates of Southfork one last time before he disappears knowing his job is done

[@maryhlad5277]

I wept like a baby when I saw this.

[@jonathanturbide2232]

lol it's not subtle at all, it's very clear.

[@davidjensen4702]

Can't help but see the look in Larry Hagmans eyes as if to thank the fans at the 0:40 mark

[@TessiejoPoock]

Almost 6 years later and it still brings tears to my eyes.

[@otisjordan18]

I think the day he passed a little of us all did that grew up watching Dallas like I did! True icon and legend!

[@didierlabossiere4726]

That was as badass a tribute as anyone could ever do. RIP Larry Hagman

[@JohnDoe01969]

As a man. I cried watching this opening. I love this show it brings me closer to my family watching this show. God Bless you Larry H. We will miss you so much. They should make this opening stay for the rest of the episodes.

[@cidspimms]

You know its got to be good when even the intro brings you to tears.

[@ksbaxter]

The second I saw this opening, it definitely brought me to tears including when they showed JR at the end. This special JR opening was wonderful. The legacy of Larry/JR will live on forever.

[@duncangreen5905]

This still brings shivers watching this. LARRY would be so happy. RIP MR HAGMAN

[@Via_The_Void]

He was a great actor Larry Hagman.

[@lighteyes214]

Still gives me chills. RIP Mr. Hagman

[@marnieland1]

I love the fact that he never leaves South Fork...he will always be the gatekeeper to South Fork. Rest In Peace, Mr. Ewing.

[@LuckyMMMBop]

I never thought of it that way. That's awesome. :)

[@dangelo1369]

Well, according to Find-A-Grave.com, Larry Hagman's ashes were scattered on the South Fork Ranch location in Texas.

[@benhicks6490]

Well said

[@maryhlad5277]

I believe that Jock, Miss Ellie, and JR will always be watching over Southfork Ranch.

[@jokerz7936]

Oh man if JR is watching the gate then Gary and Ray are so screwed.

[@andyheller2691]

I watched Dallas from 1978 to 1991. Saw every episode when it originally aired. When this one played with the tribute music it was almost surreal. I knew it was the end of a era and sadly the end of Dallas. Yes, I would continue watching and did but I think everyone knew that with Hagmans passing that it would be too big a loss for the show. I wished a season 4 of TNT' s Dallas could have been made to give the series a good ending. What Dallas did for tv, it deserved a much better ending then what it got. One thing about the original Dallas that was fun was that the whole country, the world also watched it. When "Who Shot JR?" aired that Friday night the whole nation watched together and the hype was fun! TV is not like that anymore and it's a loss.

[@brandyl2183]

No. Nothing can compare to the traditions of family gathering around on Friday nights to watch Dallas all over the country. Reminds me of my childhood when all my grandparents were alive. Only 3 or 4 channels to choose from. Looking forward all week for the next episode. Tv will never be as special as when we had shows like this.

[@vintagetvandexciting82]

you saw its homage from the simpsons "who shot mr burns?"?

[@IrishLincoln]

A little choked up every time I see this. Larry Hagman was the man.

[@btez31]

I defiantly remember tearing up watching this.

[@melaniemaab8173]

At least we have this beautiful tribute and goodbye to JR/Larry.

[@TheIntrigued123]

I think it's very nice of TNT and the producers at TNT to include this such poignantly done tribute to give us fans a chance to say goodbye to the actor and the character that he created who has been part of our lives for so long. I am going to miss you, JR. Thank you Larry.

[@fletch4813]

TNT does many things right

[@Via_The_Void]

The original series did the same thing with Jock Ewing. We mourned him too, just as we mourn Larry as JR. Rest In Peace to both Jock & JR.

[@scottm4969]

I come back once a year or so to watch this. Gives me goose bumps.

[@Via_The_Void]

I was really upset. He passed away on 23rd November, 2012 which was Doctor Who's anniversary date. I had been very upbeat about Doctor Who's anniversary and then the news came through that Larry had died and I just fell apart. God Bless You Larry.

[@MegaJustGeorge]

I now have water in my eyes from viewing this opening, for it truly has touched me. Rest Well, Larry Hagman, for you have earned it, my friend.

[@mickeyholding7970]

The first time that I saw this when it aired I cried, it's still an emotional moment. JR Ewing was a once in a lifetime character that no one but Larry Hagman could have captured, he was a great human being.

[@Via_The_Void]

He was a swine but we loved him being a bad ass.

[@QueenCityHistory]

I have such wonderful memories of Dallas. I remember as a kid my mom letting me stay up and watch it. visiting southfork ranch when I was a teenager and seeing the gun used in the show to shoot JR. I watch the entire 14 seasons at least once a year. I was heartbroken when I heard Larry Hagman died. it's sad how time takes these wonderful actors who have been on this show. They stay with me everytime I watch Dallas and I feel so lucky to have grown up in the Dallas generation.

[@declan359]

Whoever disliked this has no respect or heart. This is absolutely amazing, so powerful. Goodbye JR! (RIP Larry) xxx

[@duncangreen5905]

it was cliff barnes who disliked … a brilliant tribute to Larry aka JR

[@petesocke]

Dann I miss my dad... We watched Dallas in the 90s. I was a little Boy and didnt understand a thing but i enjoyed beeing with him... We once said to each other that one day we will watch all the episodes together again...

[@shoegal7]

A beautiful tribute. Dallas will never be the same. Rest in Peace, J.R.

[@gustavopacheco919]

I remember watching this when it aired in tnt. My dad and I used to watch the original Dallas when I was a kid. Great show

[@rexbanner4688]

Could anyone else in the history of television steal the show from beyond the grave in less then sixty seconds? Shows what a legend J.R. Ewing was and how well Larry Hagman portrayed him on screen

[@chrisarseneault5617]

This is an awesome opening and tribute to Larry Hagman and his awesome awesome character j.r. Ewing

[@EllieC130]

I remember weeping absolute freaking buckets as soon as this started up.

[@Via_The_Void]

You weren't the only one.

[@Via_The_Void]

Possibly the greatest drama series of all time.

[@Eminem200183]

Finally getting the chance to see this special tribute opener for Larry Hagman was not only special but also very emotional. Larry Hagman was DALLAS. Even after DALLAS went off the air the first time, he stay true to the J.R. Ewing character with that hat. Mr. Hagman is a legend and has truly been missed. Thank you Larry for bringing J.R. to life

[@otisjordan18]

He has been gone almost ten years. He was the most ruthless character ever created. He’s still missed to this very day!!!

[@mattiasranefalk6237]

True legends never die. J.R. will live forever

[@syphonfilter8372]

A favorite quote of mine from that movie "The Sandlot" is - "Remember kid, heroes get remembered but legends never die.........and yes......you are right. J.R. is a legend.

[@derrickjackson6737]

A SAD Goodbye to a great actor Larry Hagman job well done see u at the crossroads tell Jim Davis Hello

[@letterman7]

RIP, Larry! How I both loved and reviled you as JR! You were the show, and you will continue to be broadly smiling down on it's future!

[@jordanbrooks9136]

This November it will be 10 years since this legend passed, I'm having a Dallas marathon and as a mark of respect and tribute to Larry/J.R. on the anniversary of his death I'll play this score put my stetson hat to my heart while this plays and toast a glass of Whiskey to the man, R.I.P. Larry Hagman, we Dallas fans miss ya.

[@mikeyswa66]

Rest in peace Mr Hagman, you entertained the world for decades. Thank you.

[@marlonnorris9288]

Brings tears to my eyes every time I watch this.

[@michaelgregg6133]

When you think of the TV show "Dallas" you think of JR. That role was meant for Larry Hagman and Larry Hagman only!

[@SR-uf8pt]

+Michael Gregg U R so right...the irony is that the show's creators originally meant for the show to center around Bobby and Pam (the Romeo and Juliet story), but audiences reacted so strongly to J.R. that they made him the show's central focus.

[@derrickjackson6737]

Michael Gregg Larry Hagman and Jim Davis was Dallas don't care 💯 yrs it will always be my show true fan 4 life

[@vintagetvandexciting82]

@@SR-uf8pt yep, promos and ads headlined patrick duffy and victoria principal and made larry hagman as a supporting character when it debuted

[@taralang8854]

one thing was that larry hagman died being a character he loved. and on a show he loved he was a character we all loved to hate,we all looked forward to see what he was going to do next.

[@Dahlifyr]

Holy crap, i cryed like a child....Well, that just means that it was one hell of an human being and one hell of an actor! Thx for all thoose years, bringing me and my family togheter infront of the tv:) RIP Mr Larry Hagman

0:38 mark its a tearful farewell, but the look in his eyes. Chills!

[@gizzycatable]

J.R. Ewing will NEVER die.

[@Benny18wenny]

What a legend this man was

[@derrickjackson6737]

That was the saddest moment Larry Hagman was gone never can't say goodbye to a legend RIP John Ross Ewing II

[@dannyboy34677]

Look how much the Dallas Ft Worth metroplex grew during that time from ‘78 to ‘91 and when it went off the air the first time after ‘91 until it came back in 2012. Larry Hagman was a big big piece of that. That series, put that area on the map to where it is today. Larry Hagman was Dallas. When you look over Texas icons, you will find Larry Hagman‘s character JR Ewing near the top of that list.

[@davidjensen4702]

No words. A thought though... What an opening, and a great tribute to our favorite villain!

[@leathification]

His performances were stellar. Even I watched the TNT revision of Dallas. It was well done.

[@tomtagliente1464]

The editing of this makes it look like Larry Hagman in the distant shots. It was actually a Southfork employee walking on the grounds and locking the gate. The only time it is Larry Hagman was when he appears in the flash effects at the end from an unused promo shot. The footage of him is blended nicely to make it appear as if Larry is the one who locked the gate. This certainly was a nice variation on the theme by Robert B. Cairns, and that bugle throughout certainly adds a somber touch to an already sad episode. But, it was certainly effective in elevating the emotion of the story.

[@ForeverExpos]

Absolutely an AMAZING tribute to Larry Hagman. Changing the opening music for him for this episode. I was stunned originally when it happened but thought what better tribute can there be!? AMAZING TRIBUTE!!

[@michaelgarcia8602]

A Perfect ending for Larry Hagman. JR to say goodbye. ❤😢😮 We miss you ❤😢😮

[@TRolleybam]

I grew up with JR Ewing. It was nice to see the family back together in 2012-2013.

[@maidahaltrecht6577]

I always tear up at the end when they show J.R.

[@2legit64]

I'm still pissed that the Emmys didn't give Larry Hagman a proper tribute that year.

[@bradosbourne3859]

I agree. Considering the character itself, J.R Ewing has now reached legendary status I was bewildered why the Emmy's did not recognize Larry Hagman in a more prominent manner. For goodness sake J.R. changed the television landscape forever. If I recall the Emmy's (that year) created quite a stir by paying special tribute to Cory Monteith. No offense to his legion of fans but the young guy had everything to live for and ended it with drugs and alcohol.

[@derrickjackson6737]

2legit64 i agree that was Jack up i still salute to the great late Larry Hagman a legend

[@damianlatimer6472]

It was some awards show that did though

[@felixhervecaroll3153]

Great opening for a special tribute to the most iconic actor and character of Dallas. A Dallas show without JR Ewing it's the end. My Special Bonus After closing the gates, Jr goes back to the ranch. Suddenly he heard something "Hey JR !!!". He stopped and looked behind him. It was Jock Ewing. Jock: Don't be alone and let's go for a walk through Southfork. JR: Yes Daddy, let's go. Jock and JR are walking through Southfork together forever.

[@PeanutButterLove21]

We will miss you Larry Hagman. I cried when I saw this on its premiere. Loving and moving.

[@SOCORROSILVA-in7px]

Larry Hagman did play Major Anthony Nelson on the series of I dream of Jeannie prior to being JR Ewing in DALLAS.

One of my all time favorite shows!! No one is better than JR.

Special comment to all: The mayor of Dallas Texas should proclaim March 11 as a local holiday in honor of Mr. Larry Hagman aka Mr. JR Ewing and should rename the street where the original cast played their roles perfectly to Larry Hagman Drive. No rude remarks please.

[@KenFromBeara]

If they named a place Kennedy Plaza, they can name another street after JR Ewing / Larry Hagman

[@chrismcevoy2503]

Rest in peace Larry Hagman.

[@COLETHORN10]

I will never forget the summer of 1980 when Who shot J.R. was the main topic. What amazed me was all of the suspects that had reason to do it. This even included his own mother.

[@dannyboy34677]

I have to think from that episode on, and that stretch on who shot JR😢 in 1980, Dallas shot up to another level of iconic status and it never looked back.
