Talk:J. R. Ewing

message: In Italy, the character of J.R. Ewing became over the years the archetype of the wealthy and ruthless American, untrustworthy and alcoholic. Although the show's popularity ended nearly twenty years ago, it is still common to hear Italians refer to Americans as "the J.R.'s".   —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.72.92.4 (talk) 04:50, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Lost material restored 

message: The reunion film that I saw and recorded, revealed that when Bobby walked in the room he saw that J.R. was still holding the smoking gun after having shot the mirror. He left without a word and moved to Europe to "get the devil out of him". The film was called RETURN TO DALLAS.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bernard ferrell (talk • contribs) 16:27, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: JR Shot The Mirror

message: While I do admit the page could use a little editing, the page should remain simply because JR EWING was the main character who symbolized the greed and excess of the 1980s right alongside GORDON GECKO. JR is just as important as the John Travolta character (Tony Manero) from SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER who represented the 70s or MRS. CLEAVER and LUCY RICARDO who represented the 50s.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bernard ferrell (talk • contribs) 18:22, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: JR is a symbol of the 80s

message: I have read that the initials J.R. were chosen to honor the character Jett Rink from Giant and that "John Ross" is a variation of H. Ross Perot, the Dallas billionaire. But I think J.R. honors the actor John Russell who played a J.R.-like character who wore a suit with a cowboy hat in the movie Rio Bravo.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.253.129.171 (talk) 20:00, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Origin of J. R. (John Ross) name

message: I never watched the show, and if this information is correct for its in-universe timeline then so be it, but: American involvement in the Vietnam War hadn't even started in 1962.  Should this be 1972? TJSwoboda (talk) 22:05, 21 November 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  JR's Masterpiece 

message: I still think, that they married in 1970. I remember this one episode "Anniversary" (season 5 episode 18): J.R. and Sue Ellen celebrate the anniversary of their meeting at the Miss Texas beauty pageant. It's 1967 (and here is another mistake by the way the episode aired in February 1982 but J.R. says its her 14th anniversary) and I'm sure they said that they married three years later several times. (Unfortunately I can't come up with episodes for this, because I would have to watch every single episode...) And the marriage was in December 1982, not December 1981 (season 6 episode 10/11). --Jany90 (talk) 20:24, 7 July 2013 (UTC)
