JR!
Big whoop!
shareHe probably had hundreds of posts on the IMDB message boards, but it appears none of them were kept for Moviechat.org. Anyway, right now I am seeing late night reruns of I Dream of Jeannie on a digital channel and loving it. Hard to believe the same actor played both the loveable Major Nelson and later the scheming J.R. Hewing. Great memories of a great actor.
shareHe was good in I Dream of Jeannie in a comedic role.
IIRC, the plan in Season One (Dallas) was for Patrick Duffy (Bobby) to be the lead. As the series progressed it quickly became clear it would be better (and get more viewers) if they made J.R. the main character. Larry Hagman became the star of the show.
