About Todd Mayo Expertise At one time I had nearly every episode on tape. I am least familiar with the 1987-88,88-89,89-90 seasons. I am so-so on 1990-91. I`m a little weak on 1984-85 as well.

Question I am having problems recalling the family's last name. I thought you might be able to help. Also, how did J.R. fake his death?
Answer The family's last name is Ewing.
He faked his death in the 1996 "JR RETURNS" reunion movie. He parked his car along the side of the road as though he had a flat tire. He called the car service. Then they took a dead drunk guy from the city morgue and placed him in the driver's seat of JR's car. After that a semi hit the car, it exploded, and the dead drunk man along with JR's car were burned beyond recognition. JR did leave behind his watch, his hat and his wallet to make it more authentic.
