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.

America 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.

WASHINGTON (TND) — Homer Simpson announced he is
looking for new ways to discipline his mischievous son,
Bart, that don’t involve choking.

Thirty-five seasons into the show, "The Simpsons," the

to his son’s misbehavior.

But it is apparently coming to an end.

In a recent episode, "McMansion & Wife," Homer said he
will no longer choke his son because "times have changed."

The Simpsons is a animated sitcom created
by Matt Groening (69) for Fox.
