39. Who Shot JR?
There was a huge whodunnit in the 80s. And that was surrounding a popular soap opera called Dallas. In the 1980s, Dallas was the single most popular TV series throughout the decade. Its third season had a massive cliffhanger. Larry Hagman played the villain, JR Ewing and this catchphrase became infamous, even makings its way into the 1980 presidential election. In case you are wondering, the fourth season opened with the answer: it was JR’s scheming sister-in-law. Oh, since it was a soap opera, she was also his mistress and it ended in a fit of rage.
