Larry Hagman has gone. If you want to see why he made Dallas a hit show instead of an absurdity, here’s some highlights.
Hagman got a liver transplant in 1995 and I was sure he wouldn’t last much longer. But he held on for another 17 years.

What memories. :)
He was so good at being the bad guy.
He will be missed. And as I said, it will be interesting to see how they handle his death in the new Dallas series. And if it will last without him.

I’ve never understood the logic of giving a liver transplant to a notorious alcoholic, but if you’re rich enough common sense gets booted.
By everything I’ve ever heard, he was pretty much the only reason to watch Dallas.
