"Just a little a little prick"
"Oh you've met James?"
Nice one!
I've always had a giggle every time JR gets shot. Two bullets fired off. No recognizable wounds. No blood.
I wonder if there were tighter restrictions on what could be shown on commercial television in those days.
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. . .
