A House Divided (Dallas) A House Divided (Dallas) "A House Divided" is the 25th and final episode of the third season (1979–80 season) and 54th overall of the American television series "Dallas". It is the episode known for spawning the eight-month "Who shot J.R.?" hysteria. The episode ended with the mysterious shooting of J.R. Ewing (Larry Hagman) in his office by an assailant that would not be revealed until the following season. The episode served as both an introduction to the now common practice of season-ending cliffhangers and the beginning of an eight-month international media frenzy. The mystery was resolved in the fourth episode
Dallas (1978 TV series) (season 2) and Cliff Fenneman as associate producer. Arthur Bernard Lewis was promoted executive story editor, with Camille Marchetta serving as story editor. The second season was released, alongside season one, by Warner Bros. Home Video, on a Region 1 DVD box set on August 24, 2004. The box includes five double-sided DVDs, and, alongside the two seasons' 29 episodes, it also include a "Soap Talk" Dallas reunion featurette, and three commentary tracks, by actors Larry Hagman and Charlene Tilton, and series creator David Jacobs. <onlyinclude></onlyinclude> Dallas (1978 TV series) (season 2) The second season of the television series "Dallas" aired on
