It was 35 years ago.
More than 3 out of 4
American households—and half of the adults in this great land—tuned in to
“Dallas” to finally learn who shot J. R.
Around the world,
350 million people watched the first episode of the third season of the
blockbuster primetime “drama” to get the low-down on the low-down skulker who
did the deed.
Some people didn’t
watch the show. Like me. You can read all about it here. I’ll be honest, I
skimmed the story on History.com and I still don’t know the name of the
shooter.
Ignorance shall be
my penalty.
I’m gonna guess that
the number of folks in the U. S. who know that name is larger than the number
of folks who know when the Constitution was ratified, and larger than the
number of folks who know what “arsenal of democracy” means.
Go figure.
