As "Game of Thrones" ends its season with the traditional cliffhanger, it follows in the tradition of a family saga that started it all -- "Dallas." Like "Game of Thrones," "Dallas" told stories in a season-long arc, and J.R. Ewing was arguably the precursor of anti-heroes like Don Draper, Tony Soprano or Tywin Lannister. And "Dallas" had the mac daddy of all season-ending cliffhangers: "Who Shot J.R.?," which swept the world during the summer of 1980. In this podcast we look at the similarities between "Dallas" and "Game of Thrones" as well as that fateful summer.
