My favorite scene from "J. R. Returns" (1996)

[Steffi B.]

my favorite scene: JR informs Suellen that John Ross is staying at the party and they are both having a great night. Then at the end of the series when it is revealed that she runs Ewing Oil with Bobby. I would have been really looking forward to bedtime whispers between the two of them in the second film. Suellen & JR :love6:

That is a great scene! Imagine this in Sue Ellen's voice

Sue Ellen: Isn't this wonderful? Now we're all in the oil business. Only now Bobby and I own Ewing Oil and you don't.
J.R. looks concerned
Sue Ellen: Bobby loved the idea when I suggested it to him.
J.R.: Why are you doing this?
Sue Ellen: I don't know. Maybe to upset your apple cart. Or Maybe I was thinking of all the fun pillow talks we'll have. About gushers and dry holes.
J.R looks at her, feeling worried
Sue Ellen: Or maybe, I decided I wanted to assure you I can be just as smart and as tough as you are. Who knows? Maybe it could be the best thing that ever happened to our relationship. We'll find out, won't we? (and she gives him a subtle, confident wink).

J.R. looks at John Ross: Your momma's a hell of a woman.

Say what you like about JR Returns but it will always be a fitting coda to the TV series that we all love.

Dallas. I love this show so much.

Yeah I know, I'm getting soppy again. I can't help it.

now that I've been up to season 11 / (will be uploaded to our stream since July 2022) I've also seen the films. But I'm sad that the two didn't get a definitive happy ending in the original series. I think season 9 is really good, with the reconciliation for the two. Too bad this season doesn't really count.

It's up to you if the movies count or not!

Some fans discount the TNT Cyntax Dallas & prefer the two films over it.

I prefer the films even though War of the Ewing's is the weaker of the two.

However JR Returns is really a fitting coda to the series, it gives Cliff's storyline a decent end & provides the Ewing's themselves with a better ending than the TNT continuation.

I'll say it proudly and loudly:

If you are looking for a fun little reunion, J.R. Returns is a great extension to the series.

I'm sad that the two didn't get a definitive happy ending in the original series.

This is exactly why I enjoy J.R. Returns. It does show that a happy ending is possible for the Ewings.

i like JR returns. I thought it was funny how JR came along on this pig truck. Then JR & Suellen. some romance after season 12 I don't like it at all. I don't like when they're not together.

That is the great part about JR Returns. The Ewings are back together. I just wish they could have included Ray, along with some of the cartel. Having more of the old gang would have made it even better. [TD]

Yeah it would have been wonderful if they had managed to entice Victoria Principal back.

I absolutely adored Pam Ewing. I can dream though, even though there was zero chance of it happening.

We lost a lot of good things from that season. Ray & Donna & their adopted son, Sue Ellen standing up on her own 2 feet. JR &Sue Ellen reconciling. I even think the Ben Stivers/Wes Parmalee story could have worked had they kept the story in tact. After bringing Patrick back & asking people to accept the dream, it was too much to ask to bring Jock back.

I so wish we could have picked up with these storylines in TNT version

Well, apparently Warner Bros. told Cynthia Cidre to ignore the two reunion movies and extrapolate her new series from Conundrum and the final series.

I've often wondered why they told her to go that way as both movies are still owned by Warner Bros.

A shame as there were some decent storyline developments in those movies which could've been exploited. Like JR running Weststar while Bobby and Sue Ellen ran Ewing Oil.
