J.R Ewing Pays A "Surprise" Visit To Knots Landing

Valene has written a book based on her experiences with the Ewing's. With Abby's help, J.R visits Knots Landing to find out more.

[@vanmanrick1]

JR always did his homework, he knew all the details before he even showed up.

[@CaptainSpalding72]

Very interesting the way Hagman played it. Val was straight drama, Hagman gives it a touch of humor with insincerity laced with veiled threats.... brillant

[@gregwatson8219]

Hagman in scene w Julie Harris!!

[@gregwatson8219]

Harris one great actresses

[@robertscott8344]

Jr told them they are hillbillies in the sense of the word saying that room is them.

[@adamcarrington2818]

JR's visits to Knots Landing were always superb! And the icy but fearful loathing Valene has for him always brilliantly played out.

[@a.b.s_productions]

Aside from acting you can clearly tell that Larry Hagman was having fun doing these scenes on Knots Landing.

[@wurliewynd6308]

Larry Hagman had worked with Julie Harris before as well. And done a series with Donna Mills.

[@anb7408]

“Aren’t ya gonna give your favorite brother-in-law a big kiss?” Ha! Valene would just as soon have given him a kunckle sandwich and a kick to the balls! Her “you gotta be shittin’ me” facial expression was priceless! 😂

[@fh9226]

JR was a legend

[@donnn-sg4mk]

I love how valine locks the door after Jr leaves lol

[@MrCraigblaze]

Any idiot can just walk in.. XD

[@Mister_Listener]

@@MrCraigblazeno they had a front gate, but that was open, and J. R. Just waltzed thru that!

[@laminage]

I heard in real life Joan Van Ark and Larry Hagman were really good friends. So much fun history. Joan guest starred on Cannon as did the Late Jim Davis (RIP). Ted Shackleford played Ray Gordon on Another World and Larry played Ed Gibson on it's Sister Show The Edge Of Night. Patrick Duffy played Stephen Logan on The Bold & The Beautiful and guest starred on The Fosters that Joanna Johnson Executive Produced who played Caroline/Karen Spencer Forrester on The Bold & The Beautiful.

You cannot help but love J.R.😂😂

Even though he's no good.

Loved these crossovers

[@MrCraigblaze]

Too bad they stopped in 1986.. XD

[@mthivier]

@@MrCraigblaze After the "Bobby's not really dead, it was all just a dream" garbage on "Dallas", which also screwed up the continuity on KL, they decided to end the crossovers from that point forward.

[@muscled57]

Always loved scenes between the Val and JR characters, pure TV gold!!

[@rajnirvan3336]

Very rare, but brilliant. RIP Larry Hagman

[@radrobd123]

J.R.'s line to Valene about the iced tea was a reference to his first visit to Knots. He asked for some bourbon in his coffee and Val glared at him and said I'll get you some iced tea, which she did.

[@wurliewynd6308]

He didn’t ask for it specifically in his coffee. He asked for it because that is what Gary drinks and Gary is an alcoholic.

[@fwdthinker]

I can't believe he would drink or eat ANYTHING prepared by Valene - LOL!

[@johndoyle2429]

It's a pity William Devane wasn't in this episode, It would interesting to see how J.R Ewing and Greg Summer would have got on.

[@josebro352]

I think this episode was from season 2 before Devane joined the cast.

[@MrJacMac1968]

Wonder if Valene would be interested in Cliff Barnes if he knocked on the door?Cliff would have cheated on Afton.Maybe Cliff would be there trying to strike an alliance with Gary against JR

[@nightowlchad]

Actually, there was a lot of resentment when he signed his second contract for the show and made three times as much money as anyone else. He made more than the rest of the "Ewing clan" actors combined.

Gary was a fool to blow his marriage with Val and to leave her for that cougar Abby

[@tonyscott1658]

I get a kick out of J R Ewing. On the surface, he seems considerate and charming, all the while, Valene is shaking in fear and resentment.

“Real life is a hell of a lot more interesting than fiction. You of all people should know about that, Valene.” Then she just glares at him. Lol, I love the icy interactions between JR and Valene.

[@EagleArrow]

J.R. a true narcissist. Larry played it well. He loathes Val, yet still calls her 'sweatheart'. Val can not stand the sight of him and yet angrily gets him soft drinks everytime as that is what a gracious southern woman with manners does.

Valene, "you'll probably need a glass". I would of served it in a bowl on the floor!!!

The way Valene handed him the glass, was great too. It was like she contemplated dumping it in his lap for a second, but then decided to just hand it to him, immediately turning away, in utter contempt.

[@radrobd123]
