Can we just take a moment to relish Victoria Principle's laugh....it always made me laugh too - so contagious and full of fun.

If you've never seen her interviewed by Terry Wogan have a look at youtube, she laughs so much and so loudly.

I like it when Pam can get a good zinger in there.

J.R. Well, we were at the Oil Barron's last night, and ran into that termite brother of yours.
Pam: Are you talking to me?
J.R. Anybody else here have a termite for a brother?
Pam: Just Bobby.

BWHAHAHAHA! Good job, Pam!

Good scene @Lastkidpicked!

Speaking of Pam and JR scenes: Can anyone help me remember which part of which season it was when JR was talking to Pam and saying how she's slowly but surely cracking up, she finds out her father is a saddletramp and her mother a whore?

Also, does anyone remember the episode where JR says something like "just another drunken slut who ran away"?

Wasn't there a famous line of Sue Ellen's saying something like "JR had his choo choo stuck in the wrong tunnel!" :)

Episode first aired 1980 "The Wheeler Dealer"

The best part of this is the way that only Larry Hagman could pull it off. J.R. doesn't even say it as an insult. It's much worse than that. Imagine him saying this in an overly nice, condescending way, which is even sharper than a direct insult:

Well, everybody can see that she's cracking up. Slowly and surely. And who can blame her? I mean, she finds out that her daddy, Digger Barnes is no relation at all and her real father is a saddle tramp and a thief. And her mother's a whore! Now who could find it in their heart to hate that poor little girl, huh? Could you?

There was also the scene at the pool early in season 4 where JR addresses Pam as the stepdaughter of the town drunk and the illegitimate daughter of a ranch foreman.

Now, I understand that times have changed, and you wouldn't put this next scene on the air today.
BUT, remember what a little vixen that Kristin was, and thinking of that the following is pretty hilarious:

Kristin is reading a book and J.R. stops in for you-know-what.

Kristin: I wasn't expecting you.
J.R. Surprise is the spice of life, Sugar. (and he grabs the book out of her hand and starts marching toward the bedroom)
Kristin: Hey! You can't just walk in here and expect me to go right to bed with you. You've got to understand that I'm not just here for your convenience!

The funny part is that while Kristin is saying this, clothes are flying past her face while J.R. is getting undressed!

I love JR’s say-it-with-a-smile putdowns. He’s really a man on top of the world in the first half of the series. I’ll never figure out why they got away from that in the later episodes and why he lost some of his great sense of humor.
