One of the highlights of the new “Dallas’s” first two seasons was Larry Hagman and Josh Henderson’s special chemistry, which the producers showcased in a series of memorable encounters between their characters.

Among these sequences: the “shaving scene,” where J.R. confronted John Ross over his attempted betrayal in the plot to steal Southfork; the time J.R. imparted Jock’s wisdom that “real power is something you take”; the poignant confrontation where John Ross pleaded with J.R. to return ownership of the ranch to the cancer-stricken Bobby; the first-season finale, when an embittered John Ross told his father to teach him “every dirty trick” he knows; the time J.R. schooled John Ross on Ewing unity; and their final phone call, when J.R. told John Ross he was his son “from tip to tail.”

In some ways, “Dallas” is a show about excess: The Ewings are hard-charging business people who enjoy the trappings of their power and success. On the other hand, the family’s riches might provide them with a nice home, beautiful clothes and fancy cars, but their personal lives are a mess. Also worth noting: “Dallas” routinely depicts the havoc the characters’ pursuit of wealth creates in the world they inhabit. Witness the Ewing Oil tanker disaster on the original series, the Ewing Energies rig explosion on TNT’s “Dallas” and the debate over drilling on Southfork, which has been raging for decades, with no end in sight.
