Dallas (TV Series, 1978-1991)
- Dallas ran for 13 seasons, focusing on multiple generations of the wealthy Texan oil family, the Ewings, who live together at their ranch, Southfork. The weekly series was an international hit and one of the longest-lasting primetime dramas in American TV history. One of the most talked-about scenes in television history happened on the series, when the third season finale ended with J.R. Ewing (Larry Hagman) being shot. CBS created the lasting catchphrase "Who shot J.R.?" to promote the following season.
