Who Shot J.R.?, Season 3
The most famous TV cliffhanger of all time, this episode saw J.R. Ewing make several betrayed relatives and rivals angry enough to shoot him, but which one finally pulled the trigger? The show instantly vaulted from cult hit to worldwide sensation as viewers everywhere waited impatiently through the summer to learn who shot J.R. The season 4 episode that finally revealed his assailant (it was sister-in-law Kristin!) was one of the most-watched events in TV history. —Gary Susman
