Really? They did the "Who Shot J.R.?" storyline again? That's just funny in some ways. (Not because of the reason they had to do such a storyline, of course- condolences and God's blessings to Larry Hagman's family.)
But it's just funny that one of the biggest TV events ever is being used again- but with a show like "Dallas"- I guess, why not? It worked the first time for ratings- maybe it will again.

In Larry Hagman's final episode of the 2012 sequel, Dallas, which aired on March 4, 2013, J.R. was shot again, this time fatally. In the 2013 Season 2 finale it was revealed that JR asked Steve "Bum" Jones to shoot him so his 'masterpiece' could play out, framing Cliff Barnes for his murder. The main reason he had himself killed was because doctors told JR that he had only days to live, he was dying from cancer. In his letter to Bobby he reveals all of this and that he wanted to die helping his family end the Ewing/Barnes feud once and for all.
