Happy New Year from Lucy and Willie!

[Taylor Bennett Jr.]

maybe the dastardly Willie Gust wasn’t so dastardly after all!? Perhaps only Dick Clark could have been able to talk Texas’s brief answer to Bonnie and Clyde into reuniting to help the nation usher in a new decade!

BJ McKay and Lucy Ewing ringing in the final weeks of Jimmy Carter's America.

Now I wonder if BJ McKay was any relation to Carter McKay.

BJ was Carter's cousin.

The bear was related to Sue Ellen's Mother, Patricia Shepard!

You heard it hear first.

BJ was Carter's cousin.

My Dallas Theory was that Tommy was BJ's cousin.

Now of course the question of "Stacks" and if she was related to Afton Cooper?

Two Libras. Three, if you count the chimp.

LOL. I thought this was a joke at first

What year was this? 1979 or 80? You’d think that Charlene would have gotten top billing over Greg Evigan. After all, she was one of the stars of a blockbuster series. BJ and the Bear was not exactly one of the great hits of our time.

1980

BJ and The Bear not a great hit for it's time??? A young trucker from Milwaukee with his red and white Kenworth, a pet chimpanzee, hot trucker chicks, Sheriff Lobo, car chases ....

... or ABC preferred the NBC's BJ and the Bear over CBS's Dallas.

yep, I saw it posted online somewhere as NYE 1980 and was thinking 1979-80 and not 1980-81. I realized it was the latter, though after I posted the thread and then looked at the bottom of the image!

I think Dick Clark’s memory of Greg’s turn as Willie Gust put him slightly over the edge to get top billing.. not everyone gets to guest star in what may well have been the worst pre-Haleyville episode of Dallas!
