A LADMARK TV STORYLINE WAS REVEALED

RetroNewsNow on Twitter:

On November 21, 1980, 350 million people around the world tuned
in to television’s popular primetime drama “Dallas”
to
find out
who shot J.R.
Ewing, the character fans loved to hate. J.R. had
been shot on the season-ending episode the previous March 21,
which now stands as one of television’s most famous cliffhangers.

The plot twist inspired widespread media coverage and left  the
country wondering “Who shot J.R.?” for the next eight months.

The November 21 episode solved the mystery, identifying Kristin Shepard, J.R.’s wife’s sister-in-law and his former mistress, as
the culprit.

The CBS television network debuted the first five-episode pilot
season of “Dallas” in 1978; it went on to run for another 12 full-
length seasons.

In 1897, in LeRoy, New York, carpenter and cough syrup
manufacturer Pearle Bixby Wait trademarked a gelatin
dessert called "Jell-O". Wait and his wife, May, added
strawberry, raspberry, orange, and lemon flavoring to
granulated gelatin and sugar.

In 1899, Wait sold Jell-O to "Orator Francis Woodward",
whose Genesee Pure Food Company produced the
successful Grain-O health drink. Part of the legal
agreement between Woodward and Wait dealt with
the similar Jell-O name.
