End credit freeze frames

[mrpitkin]

I wonder who had the most, does anyone know of a list anywhere?

I'm guessing it was JR as he was the most prominent character and in all 357 episodes.

Here is the video I made about the freeze-frames back in the day. Now I´m speaking by memory but I did a recount then and JR was at the top (as always!), followed by Pam and Sue Ellen (crying most of the time), and Bobby and Miss Ellie. There were frames shared by two or more characters, and others with doors, wide shots or fades into black before the producers´ titles (the one from "Peter´s Principles" comes to mind).

There are a lot of freeze-frames of Larry in this little tribute video:

A better question would be who had the most freeze frames other than JR?

Speaking of freeze frames, Alfred (the bow tying wearing brother of the woman who brought down Ewing Oil) had the freeze frame in his first appearance S10 E22.

Hard to argue, but my personal favorite would be Bobby’s deathbed freeze frame with the entire family standing around him in Swan Song.

You mean this one? It was sad yeah, even though it ended up being part of the dream.

As well as the more iconic freeze frames, one of my favourites is from 'Sue Ellen's choice". It freezes on Sue Ellen's tear streaked face after she told Dusty she couldn't leave her baby even for him.

This was the second time Sue Ellen had tried to leave for a happier life and the second time she was forced back to Southfork.

Amazing scene (and episode) between JR and his wife (for me anyway). The look on both their faces at the end revealed so much about their ongoing turbulent relationship.

I hope this doesn't go on multiple times (although multiple Sue Ellen is great) I'm sill having issues with posting.

Yes, that’s the one. I know it gets a lot of grief for who’s missing in that scene but it remains my favorite freeze frame of original Dallas. Maybe I’m just partial to it because it’s also my favorite episode. If the show would’ve ended right there I would’ve been okay with it.

JR was never shot. He acted as though he had been to draw out the shooter. Multiple re-watches clearly show no bullet holes in his attire or blood oozing from his upper torso.

Not sure there would be blood running through the devil's veins!
The drawing around his body was just as funny, although that hadn't really improved in the TNT Dallas.

Didn't JR have something rare with his blood?
I know he was the same blood type as Cliff Barnes. Cliff could have donated blood if JR needed a transfusion.

Hell would've had to freeze over before Cliff would donate blood for JR.

There's no way he would've donated it willingly.

This is one of my favourites. Jock is arrested by Sheriff Fenton Washburn for the murder of Hutchinson McKinney.
