I’ve said this in another thread, but you’d think the Ewing Oil Building was overlooking Central Park from the view from JR’s office. Lol

the worst example has to be in the season opener when JR got shot. The episode starts presumably minutes after the cleaning lady finds him, and as the medics wheel him out there's a frenzied throng of onlookers and press all around, with actual bleachers across the street filled with extras standing there excitedly gazing at the scene.
Did the cleaning lady call KGIM and KLKX TV and the Dallas Press to report the shooting, then wait an hour before calling for an ambulance? Did the local stations interrupt their broadcast with a special bulletin urging everyone to drop everything and rush to the Ewing Building before they missed their chance to see the action?
Just preposterous!

I’ll just say this, flashing ambulance and police lights do attract onlookers. Lol

This part always makes me laugh, they obviously set up to have the public watch the scene but why they bring the camera all the way around to show it is still unknown. They also reuse the scene (when Bobby is shot?)

I'll have to find the screen shot, and I think it is the Laurel Ellis years. Clayton and Laurel sit down at a restaurant and when the extra they hired as a busser takes the plates away, he sees this as his big break to get discovered by a television or movie agent.
He swoops into the scene, gives the camera a great big smile, and with much flamboyance, takes the plates away.
It is so blatant that it is hilarious! He must have been a relative of somebody, or they never would have left it in.

yeah, the straight-up reuse of the scene for Bobby was a sign of cracks starting to appear, I'd say. So cheap and lazy! Of course there weren't people like us constantly rewatching old episodes, so probably almost no one noticed.
Another odd thing I noticed recently was that the hospital scenes in Bypass felt far more real than 2 years later when JR was in the hospital after the shooting. Those scenes with the doctor trying to stabilize him and removing the bullet had a such a lack of urgency, and corny-sounding lines ("it could be either a concussion.. or a contusion"), that it's hard to suspend disbelief. It was such a huge worldwide phenomenon at that point, you'd think they would have put more effort into those scenes.

Easy: after all, Swellin did love that Kristin b*tch and she was her sister soooo, Chris was her nephew.
