Larry Hagman, who created one of American television's most supreme villains in the conniving, amoral oilman J.R. Ewing of "Dallas," died on Friday, the Dallas Morning News reported. He was 81.

Hagman died at a Dallas hospital of complications from his battle with cancer, the newspaper said, quoting a statement from his family. He had suffered from cancer and cirrhosis of the liver in the 1990s after decades of drinking.

Hagman's mother was stage and movie star Mary Martin and he became a star himself in 1965 on "I Dream of Jeannie," a popular television sitcom in which he played Major Anthony Nelson, an astronaut who discovers a beautiful genie in a bottle.

"Dallas," which made its premiere on the CBS network in 1978, made Hagman a superstar. The show quickly became one of the network's top-rated programs, built an international following and inspired a spin-off, imitators and a revival in 2012.

I'm trying to figure out why I even opened this thread. I gotta get a hobby.

Well that sucks. RIP J.R.

Crap, I opened it for some reason too.

wow. The new dallas was not bad-puts the show in jeopardy.

Yep

For some reason, I thought of Major Burns from M.A.S.H

Larry Linville. Wrong Larry.

He died as well, if that helps any.

I didn't like the new Dallas show at all. And I was a big fan of the original show.

Who shot him?

Maybe it's just a dream.

Heh.

victoria, on principle

He was great in that show about the Genie girl with the awesome tittahs and hair.

RIP Airman Nelson.

his last words was "suck it falconcrest"

Nip/Tuck?

Who shot J.R?

Dibs on the genie bottle!

Hah! Now, where to start... I will be doing things a bit... differently... with the genie. Oh, yes. :evil:

Christ I was born in '88 and even I know it was Major Nelson

I hated that guy he get a new kidney over people who needed it more. Even so i hope he r.i.p and may god welcome him to the kingdom of heaven.

I think it's way past your bed time.

You are throwing more than a discuss, it appears.

Everybody knows that Tony Nelson wasn't promoted to Major until the end of the first season.

Who shot JR?



Why cancer did.

Anybody who has a drop dead gorgeous chick like Barbara Eden in a master-slave relationship gets props from me any day.

Nailing Barbara Eden all those years finally caught up to him. Oh, and cancer and alcoholism.

Holy cow, this guy worked a ton back in da day looking at IMDB. Who could forget his unforgettable performance in "Beware the Blob"?

That's too bad. R.I.P. J.R.


I'm still sad about John Goodman passing away he would have made a great J.R. or better Boss Hog in the Dukes of Hazzard movie. R.I.P JG :(

Major Healey was waiting for this for a long time.

You know that's right.

Tony was lucky to live this long, actually.

If I had been his buddy, I would have killed him a long time ago and made off with his bottle to a secluded private island.

Dallas was part of an awesome Friday nite when I was a kid:

RIP.

Larry Hagman and Hector Camacho. Who's going to be the third?

RIP/JR

I have a feeling it's going to be Ginger Baker.

Don't know why.

Robin Roberts

R.I.P Major Nelson

Who the hell is that?

Powerful Black Woman that was awesome for ESPN.

Third? Kate Upton in some sort of weird accident involving Verlander.

Probably the ref who handed Hagman the win during their epic 13-round battle in Las Vegas in 1973.

It would have been interesting to be a writer on that show. I bet the joke scripts at their Christmas parties were epic.

That show has to be the most unrealistic show ever to air on television. Setting aside the fact that there was a genie, Major Nelson did not do any of the top 1,000 things that a normal man would do in that type of situation.

Do you remember the episode that revolved around trying to get Major Healey's dick out of the neck of the bottle?

I must've missed that one. But that would've been the most realistic episode, I think.

Weren't all the episodes about this?
