I Dream of Jeannie 04-05-2003, 09:30 AM A lot if not all of them were awesome. But I had to pick the last one because it was the end of the show and we didn't know if JR had shot himself or not. It just seems like the best one to me.
AtlantaBravesFan29 04-05-2003, 01:57 PM Who Shot J.R. most definitely was the best cliffhanger. We didn't know who shot J.R. whether it was Sue Ellen or Cliff or Kristen. This is the best as it was the main storyline for a while and the episode where we knew Who Shot J.R. was the highest rated episode of a series until M*A*S*H's final episode in 1983.
Penny Lane 04-22-2003, 03:09 PM Who Shot J R? Man, I remember the hype around that episode! There were bumper stickers declaring,"I shot JR!":lol: It's a classic! I loved it!:D
HopeLangeFan 06-20-2005, 11:33 PM Who shot J.R.! I loved that! My Grandmother and I were on edge til the following season to find out. Mind you, I was only 12 almost 13, then. Awesome! Those were the days!
Hope Lange Hollerith November 28, 1933 - December 19, 2003 Rest In Peace, Hope!
Mr. Television 06-20-2005, 11:36 PM Who Shot J R? Man, I remember the hype around that episode! There were bumper stickers declaring,"I shot JR!":lol: It's a classic! I loved it!:D
Do you remember a song playing on the radio about that? I have a scant memory of it and I haven't heard it since.

dandelion wine 07-02-2005, 11:12 PM Who Shot J.R.? was my very favorite.
treky 07-07-2005, 01:56 AM it would have to be "Who Shot J.R.?" That's the one that put the show at the top of the ratings, and put the qestion "Who shot J.R."? on everyones lips that summer (thanks to a carefully planned publicity campaign by CBS).
I remember there were bumper stickers, hats, t-shirts, all with Who Shot J.R. emblazoned across the front. There were even cover storys about the series in Time and Newsweek magazines. I remember passing a store once and seeing a t-shirt that said "I Shot J.R."
PatJK910 01-17-2006, 03:05 PM Well I just out that J.R. didn't shoot himself in the series finale, he just shot the mirror in his bedroom.
Heidi Dawn 04-21-2006, 11:14 AM Who Shot J.R.? and Who Shot Bobby? are my two favorites.
Brian Damage 04-21-2006, 11:18 AM Who Shot J.R.? was my very favorite.
Agreed

treky 07-12-2018, 03:25 PM "WHO SHOT J.R.?"
adamchandler 10-10-2018, 11:26 AM I liked whoshotjr? For what it meant to the genre and tv overall. It was like the first cliffhanger. But I enjoyed swan song and Ewing inferno much more.
