Dallas (television) - for the show's entire run. It is also known for two famous episodes that made TV history: "Who Done It?" - The 1979 - 1980 season ended with J.R. being shot. Viewers had to wait all summer to learn whether J.R. would survive, and which of his many enemies was responsible. "Who Done It?" aired on November 7, 1980. It was one of the highest-rated episodes of a TV show up to that time. The great success of this stunt helped usher in the practice of ending a television season with a big cliffhanger. This entered into United States popular culture, with t-shirts printed with such references as "Who Shot J.R.?" and "I Shot J.R.!" being common over the summer. "Return to Camelot" - One of the show's stars, Patrick Duffy,.
