and is the first of two Dallas reunion films, produced after the
series went off the air in 1991. It originally aired on CBS on
November 15, 1996, and was rerun as part of TV Land's salute to 50
years of Warner Bros. Television.The cliffhanger ending of the 1991
Dallas series finale is resolved; the gunshot J.R. Ewing (Larry
Hagman) fired was at the mirror, not himself.Five years later, J.R. is
in Europe, while Bobby Ewing (Patrick Duffy) lives at Southfork Ranch
alone with his son Christopher (Christopher Demetral), happily out of
the oil business, and Cliff Barnes (Ken Kercheval) now owns Ewing
Oil.Bobby, conscious of the fact that Southfork is now almost empty,
considers selling it. Meanwhile, Cliff decides to sell Ewing Oil to
WestStar Oil, a giant oil conglomerate headed by J.R.'s other nemesis,
Carter McKay (George Kennedy). J.R. hears this and decides to try to
regain his position. He appeals to Bobby to get back in business
together and buy Ewing Oil back but is rebuffed. J.R. arranges for
Afton (Audrey Landers) to be put in a sanitarium so Cliff can't find
her. Dallas Reunion: The Return to Southfork Biography, NetWorth, Height, Age, Weight, Family, Married, Son, Daughter
