Who Shot JR? It’s one of television’s most enduring questions…and the third season finale of this landmark television series.

Relive the drama, the deception and the delicious intrigue of TV's most watched event of the 80's – as all 23 season three episodes lead up to the shocking finale. Gushing with greed, power and extravagance, season three continues the tale of Texas sons and daughters whose lives revolve around oil, family and power on their Southfork ranch. TV icon Larry Hagman portrays petroleum magnate J.R. Ewing, whose pursuit, in no particular order, of wealth, power and influence knows no limits.
