I've always had a giggle every time JR gets shot. Two bullets fired off. No recognizable wounds. No blood. I'm guessing money must have been tight in the wardrobe department and they couldn't spare a new vest. But on a more serious note. I wonder if there were tighter restrictions on what could be shown on commercial television in those days.

These are always so funny! I remember the old thread for this. I always loved the stuff about the Southfork basement. You did not even have to have proper knowledge of Dynasty and Falcon Crest to appreciate all of the jokes!

I remember the big controversy back in the day. If you watch American TV shows from Prime Time in the 70's and early 80's, you will see that when somebody is shot they couldn't show any blood. This was because they didn't want kids to be traumatized by the violence.

Sounds smart, right?

Then they changed course. The new theory was that showing people getting shot with no blood or other ill effects was causing people to be more dismissive of gun violence. "Well, the bad guys get shot, don't even bleed, and are back next week on another show."

Funny the memories that are triggered by talking about Dallas. . .
