- Jock Ewing , actor (jim davies) made his last appearance on 10 april 1981 ,he sadly passed away on the 26 april 1981.
The producers kept the character alive till the next season ,even though everyone in the real world new he had passed away.

Jim Davis was a B movie actor for most of his life and became a megastar because of Dallas. One cannot imagine anyone else playing Jock Ewing or doing a better job of doing so.
He came up at a time of westerns where he worked with all the main men of back then. He was never the lead much but he was right there with them. But for him not to be and then be such a powerhouse in Dallas show tells ya how dammm good those other guys were! All legends in my book, real actors.

This scene is so sad. Jim Davies was on deaths door with cancer at the time. He could barley walk or talk and wore a wig. He knew he would be dead in a few months and so did the rest of cast. So sad...he loved playing jock and he would had stayed with the show for years
Jim Davis had spent 3 decades as a character actor who never got his "break" despite doing some outstanding work, particulary on GunSmoke, where he appeared over a dozen times as different characters. When Dallas became a phenomenon, both in the US and world wide, he was COMPLETELY dedicated to the show, old school to the end, the show must go on, he literally would have worked till the last day of his life if they'd asked, loyal to the show and audience that made him a star.
Hard worker just like the people of his generation
Dallas TV show needed jock or Jim davis he kept j.r and Bobby Ewing in check and miss ellie had a real husband
@@lloydkline3265 notice how the writers started to toughen up miss Ellie while jock was away. They knew he was never coming back so were preparing here to get tougher with Jr even before she heard about jocks helicopter crash
@@donnn-sg4mk j.r Ewing became to wild after jock left both in business and his romantic life, miss ellie told j.r and Bobby Ewing Ewing oil should have die with jock
I never had a father in my life but if I did I wish he was like jock Ewing
Same here
He was in such ill health at the time that that very last line he uttered had to be dubbed later on. Davis may not have been the greatest of actors in his younger days, but in the final years of his life he was truly exceptional. That show was never the same without him.
Very true!
Although lasted over a decade without him, Dallas was never the same. Jim Davis was to Dallas like John Amos was to Good Times and Zara Cully was to the Jeffersons. By the way, please don't tell me John Amos is dead. I am referring to the character he played.
Greatest actor? Dallas was full of mediocre but good looking actors, only a selected few were truly any good
@@thomasjust2663 Like Jim Davis as Jock Ewing? Or Larry Hagman as JR Ewing?
From all of the interviews that I've seen of him it seems to me that his career was going very well until him and Bette Davis did a movie that flopped. I get the impression from him that it was something that he never completely recovered from that. He was a good actor. He was never out of work for any great length of time but after that movie things were never quite the same for him. Also, It seems to me that there was not a huge difference between Jim Davis and Jock Ewing. I think that Jim Davis was a "Mans Man" just the same as Jock Ewing. He was no oil tycoon in real life but he was worth millions upon his death. I'll say it this way: His wife didn't have to worry about going out and getting a job at Walmart whenever he passed away.
The show was never the same. All they had left was his portrait and they used it every chance they got.
Joseph Stachler yyyep
Jock had a way of keeping Jr in line
I miss Jock Ewing even today as well as HE AND MISS ELLIE.
There were roles that some actors took and made their own. Jim Davis took the role of Jock Ewing and became one with it. At Davis' actual age, he was a "father figure" to all 4 actors who played Jock's sons, and was tough on all of them
JR was the most popular character of Dallas. Jock was the central character of Dallas!
I hate this scene because it was goodbye to Dallas's patriarch. Jim Davis showed that he was just as strong and tough as Jock Ewing by the way he fought cancer right until the end. I believe that had he not been sick, Patrick(who did come back), Victoria and Barbara(that one year), wouldn't have left. Victoria was extremely close to Jim and she reminded him of his late daughter who died in a car accident.
It would have been really ironic had he died of Ewing's sarcoma
Well Barbara left because of ill health more than anything that one season
I've always wondered what the show would have been like if he had lived.
David Kidd wonder that too. The best seasons to me were seasons 5,6, when they were fighting for Ewing Oil. If Jock hadn’t of died, that storyline wouldn’t have happened.
Yes. I think the series would have lasted to at least season 15. No dead bobby, no fake miss ellie.
He would have been written off eventually. The fight had to be about Ewing Oil.
JR never loses Ewing oil.
@@TheEwing69 Yeah the death of Jim Davis as Jock opened up so much more potential for storylines. You'll notice that JR became the more breakout character after the death of Jock.
Jock Ewing Was Texas.
A Missourian can play one hell of a Texan.
@@jonstefanik9400 it's really annoying when people like YOU have to be so literal. WE ALL KNOW he wasn't a BORN Texan. The commenter meant that as far as the SHOW. Jock was that good at playing a Texan. Geesh.... It's always that one. Clearly you wanted everyone to know that YOU KNEW he was from Missouri
@@KAMALAISHERNAME So right on....What was I thinking making such an outlandish comment that would offend snowflakes like you?
@@jonstefanik9400 says the snowflake who just replied back😂😂😂😂
@@jonstefanik9400 Totally agree.
when he died the show had a profound absence...
It was like the Waltons when Will Geer passed.
@@rockyracoon3233 I'm going to pretend you didn't post that comment. Surely you didn't compare Jock's departure with "The Waltons..." 🤣😂😂🤣
And yet a presence because of the painting and the references.
Sad, you can tell his voice is week listening to him
Truthfully his voice was week for a number of episodes preceding this. I recall this as a "original viewer" of the 1980/1981 shows
@@SeanRankin2 did you know what was wrong with him back then as the show was on each week
@@dirtmover6190cancer
Yes, you could tell for a few episodes that he was barely getting through his scenes. The wig was obvious as well.
Jock was a man's man we need more like him.
Racist, Nazi, true threat to democracy demoncrats are trying to turn all of us white men into panzy fruitcakes. It’s actually working.
Sad he was too weak to even be seen outside standing up..
DrinkwithaMexican You go fuck yourself, taco head.
Very sad. Jim Davis was ravaged with brain cancer and passed away soon after.
My mother cried so much when he died
And there goes one of the greatest television characters of all-time.
RIP to Morgan Woodward, Larry Hagman, Jim Davis, and Barbara Bel Geddes.
Rest in peace Mr Jim Davis God Bless 🙏 to you and your families and friends 😊❤
Certainly, a tear-jerking moment. Davis looked immense. Tall and lean with a gravelly voice, he was also a gentleman and a master of fair play. There was actually a greater age gap between him and Barbara Bel Geddes than there was between BBG and Hagman. Hagman was 9 years younger than BBG. Davis was 13 years older than the legendary stage and screen actress and author. Crazy to think that Duffy,Principal, Gray, Kanaly, and Priscilla Presley have all already outlived Jim Davis by a fair few years but looks so much younger than he did just a few months shy of his 72nd birthday in 1981. So loved Dallas. Respect from England 🏴
Are so sad last time you see jock on dallas .he was the king of dallas
Saw this first run when I was a kid. Little did I know that would be the last time I saw jock Ewing. Even though it was in the news that he had passed away I still hoped they would find him when his character was in the fatal helicopter crash. I cried real tears at the end of that episode.
Yeah I remember seeing this as a kid. I didn't know Jim was sick in real life. I swear I remember seeing Jock with Miss Ellie in Paris when she phoned home but it was her just talking as if he was with her
This is sad. This was his last appearance on the show. It was like they were saying "good-bye" to him as part of the script that was written.
"They just don't hardly make'em like that anymore."
Godfather vs Dallas.
Similarities between the Ewing and Corleone sagas:
The story begins when the youngest, purest son (Bobby/Michael) of a powerful, corrupt family (the Ewings/the Corleones) brings home an outsider as his true love (Pam/Kay). The family patriarch (Jock/Vito) is a formidable self made man. The eldest son (JR/Sonny) is ambitious, unpredictable and anxious to prove himself, the middle son (Gary/Fredo) is weak and eventually "exiled" from the family. There is a fourth, "honorary" son (Ray Krebbs/Tom Hagen) who is fiercely loyal to the family but nonetheless remains an outsider, and a disenfranchised female family member (Lucy/Connie).
Bobby/Michael resists becoming involved in the family business, but is forced to take control after an assassination attempt on JR/Vito. Following his father's death, Bobby/Michael becomes further sucked into/corrupted by the family business, and eventually Pam/Kay leaves him. He has another wife (April/Apollonia) who is brutally murdered on their honeymoon in Europe (France/Italy) by international enemies of the family business. Bobby/Michael returns home to avenge her death.
The Next generation has a Villain-John Ross/Vincent and a good guy- Christopher / Anthony
Both families have enemies: The Corleones have The 5 fasmilies and Hyman Roth. . The ewings have cliff barnes, Nicholas, Jeremy Windell.
Bothfamilies have allies The Corleones have: Clemenza, neri and Tessio The Ewings have Punk Anderson, harv Smithfield, Clayton farlow and marilee stone.
The way the house is set up in the original DALLAS mini series is very reminiscent of the Nevada compound where the Corleone family live in "The Godfather Part 2". This, in turn, was based on the famous Kennedy compound of the 1960s.
Hello Jason how you doing ? Thank You for the information .Here's a question for you - how long did it take you to type your comment ☺? May 20,2020
The irony of actually seeing this in 1981 I just assumed Jock/Jim Davis would be returning shortly
Very few actor-character pairs are that good that they leave the show with a lasting presence even after they've been gone for years.
I am watching "Dallas" right now
J.R including Ray in on a conversation? Darn I wish I had the full episode!
Hahaha.
lol
When jock died I cried like a baby then and when I watch it now @ 51 years old I still tear up ! That show was and still is the best show ever on tv ! Jock was a phenomenal actor! Everyone on that show was incredibly talent actors except Pam she use to get on my nerves she couldn’t act to me ! If you never seen Dallas please do yourself a favor and watch it !
You’re 51-years old in 2024? If born 1973 that means you were roughly 5 when Season 1 aired 1978 and roughly 8 when Jim Davis died April 1981.
You must have matured fast your first 8 years of childhood for his death to strike a cord with you?
Even though you can't really see his face clearly, you can see enough of it to tell that the chemotherapy was causing his face to really swell up.
Should've lived at least 10 more years.
71 isn't really that old, especially these days
In fact, Jim Davis was outlived by his mother, who died in 1984 at 93
In 1909, the year he was born men were dying at 50 years old. In 1981 the average age a man died was 70 years old and he was apparently a heavy smoker. Lucky he made it that long.
@@travismiller4320 Agreed my mom was a lifelong smoker and she only lived to 67.
His decades of smoking caught up to him.
Punk Anderson just died in 2020
My dads mom and dad died in their 80s. My dad died at 71
Omg I so happy and sad that the last episode with him was with his whole family kinda like seeing him off... only it would be forever 😢🤧
my first born son will be named jock Ewing
Barbara Bell Geddes was only 9 years older than Larry Hagman. Her one season replacement, Donna Reed (1984-85) was 10 years older than Larry Hagman.
He was obviously in very poor health there. He probably couldn't stand up straight and the dim lights don't show very much. Sad that after a great body of work this was his last performince.
Linda grey was a hottie!
She looked very steamy & sultry in this scene. Even JR was "eying" her, but their marriage was a mess at this point...He was w/ Afton & she was seeing Clint.
She still is at nearly 80. She aged extremely well.
I love her. She’s so gorgeous. Great actress and she’s aged sooooo well too!
She was always pretty but when she cut her hair around season 5, I though it made her look older. And then when they paired her with Christopher Atkins that really made her look older
If they ever made a Dallas movie I would want Patrick Duffy to play Jock
Well who would play Bobby 5-20-20
@@sheiladavis6523 Steve Kanaly. But then who would play Ray?
Afton can sing beautifully
Jim Davis was sick unfortunately when he assumed the role in 1977 sadly
Not true. Not until autumn of 1980, did his brain tumor develop.
@@TheEwing69 He may have had early symptoms and didn't recognize them is what I am trying to say who knows. We never will
Donta B as you said , we don’t know, which prices your original comment, incorrect, no disrespect. He developed the headaches in the summer of 1980, Steve Kanaly did say. Sad, in any event.

Some triple play Sue Ellen had that season.xd Thanks for the upload.. XD That pool will be "Someone's watery grave !! Isn't the Woman on the phone actress Stephanie Something or Other..She played the Second Winter Austin on Edge of night !!
Everyone thought this was Jim Davis in that car but it wasn't. It was a stand in. I read that his last true appearance was in the episode before.
It sure looked like Davis.
@@rockyracoon3233 It is Jim Davis in the car. Mathew has got it wrong.
@@Via_The_Void correct
That was him
Sorry mate, but you are wrong. That was Mr Davis. He wanted to film his final scene, despite being so desperately ill.
Victoria Principal grew so close to Jim Davis that she still declines to talk about him in interviews because she always gets emotional. She bore a stunning likeness to Jims only child who had been killed in a road accident at 17.
I read somewhere that after he passed away in his wallet he had a photos of Tara and victoria in his wallet 😢💔
It’s good that Jock got to hear one of Afton’s little ditties before he sailed off to the great beyond.
If I'm correct Jim Davis always suffered from headaches and he also smoked cigarettes
Steve Kanaly(Ray) mentioned that Jim was complaining of constant migraines. Doctors then discovered it was brain cancer.
Yes, he did smoke, but that gives you lung cancer, not brain cancer, usually. Barbara Bel Geddes smoked heavily too, which led to her heart attack in the spring of 1983.
@@TheEwing69 Barbara died of lung cancer in 2005. Very sad.
Cigarette smoking killed so many great actors well before there time, some only in their late 40's and early 50's.
Jim Davis died of Multiple myeloma which is a cancer of plasma cells, a type of white blood cell that normally produces antibodies.
Hilarious how Jim wasn’t even in this scene but people feel he was. That’s not even his voice.
It is him, but his last line is dubbed in. Sad, not hilarious...
Well spit it out Punk. Out with it.
I am Takapa!
Was Jim Davis' voice dubbed in the last scenes he was in? Kind of reminds me of Petticoat Junction when the actress playing Kate couldn't be around when her daughter had her child.
Was that him in the car or a lookalike and why did he barely show his face or show him walk into the car? Was he that unwell?
It was him. Sick with cancer. He died a few months later in 1981.
He hadn’t been able to walk for weeks leading up to this. Got sick in late 1980
Does anybody know if he did the short row because he was sick of this planned?
Jason Wilkins he became sick in Nov 1980, this scene was filmed in Feb 1981, he died a few months later.
En esa escena Jim Davis estaba muy grave de salud,ni siquiera ya se podía mantener de pie
James Arness would have made a good replacement for Jim Davis i think.
Lorne Greene.
@@jasonmichael3676
Loren Green would have been an EXCELLENT replacement for Jim Davis. John Wayne (If he were younger) would have been a good replacement for Jim Davis, But not as good as Loren Green.
NOBODY could play Jock Ewing like Jim Davis. NOBODY!!!!!!!
@@Ma007rk Yes, Jim Davis was perfect. To replace him, drastic measures would have to be taken. Like a Ben Cartwright. He was the right age too. John Wayne would have been a little too much lol.
@Frederick Wells Forrest Tucker, Chuck Connors?
I thought Steve Forrest was great later on as Ben/Wes, a pity that they didn't introduce him near the chopper accident & just carry on.
Sue Ellen takes earring off before answering the phone.
Lol
A lot of women did that on tv shows on the 80s especially on the soaps lol
Can you imagine? Back in the day, when ladies WERE ladies, yet wore glamorous jewelry...the earrings were mostly clip-on, and clunky. If we didn't take earrings like that, off, they'd hit the ground with a loud clank....roll...and embarrass us...lol
I remember my Grandma always took off her ear bobbins when she was going to use the phone
She did that nearly every time.
That was the end of Dallas, Jr was entertaining afterwards but that was the end of the best writing and the show changed after that.. not for the better.
Was that a 1974-76 Cadillac limo?
No, it's 1980-81 (new) Cadillac or Lincoln.
WHURZ YA MAMA BOBBY? 🤠
Lucy was so miscast. Short butterball.
Lucy was hot and sexy at Lest I thought so.
Patrick Peralta She was sexy as hell. But in my opinion, she never had any good storylines.
I didnt like that Mitch guy
Jock is very strict about Jr and Bobby fighting issue
Sad.
Why was Ernie always stealing Burt's cookies?
Why did Grady leave Pedro in the game?
@@jonstefanik9400 teaching experience I guess
Wish it showed the scene Madison's with SueEllen and Alicia.
SE saw herself in Alicia...having to share her husband w/ other women & didn't wish that upon her, which is why she ended that relationship.
@@tomasgarzaflores3640 and she really wasn't that into Clint. She was trying to recapture a happier time in her life.
@@seand2711 She was also on the rebound from Dusty's rejection of her due to his impotence.
Tomas Garza Flores I wonder if Viagra had been around then, would it have helped Dusty?
@@bigdavycool Prob. not. I think it was more psychological...the way JR undermined him. Remember how JR scoffed at him at the Cotton Bowl...literally striking him below the belt...pun intended. Dusty married another woman the following season, having relations w/ her...so it was only w/ SE that he couldn't. JR had that kind of power over people.
I always felt the show was much better after Jim Davis died. JR really came into his own.
senorkaboom it was also kinda odd watching JR age on the show
While it was sad that Jim died in real life, Jock's death gave the show storylines for two seasons with Jock's will and the battle for Ewing Oil
I wonder what the show would have been like if they had actually had Wes Parmalee be Jock. I don't think that actor could have been better than Jim Davis.
Well originally Wes Parmalee was really meant to be Jock but a fan backlash made the Producers change their minds so they wrote Steve Forrest off the show.
@@Via_The_Void I did not know that, Thank you.
@@Via_The_Void Actually that's not true. Steve Forrest had filmed his final episode BEFORE the season 10 premiere had actually aired. Steve supposedly had a prior commitment to film a Gunsmoke TV movie
She could not sing but jim was supposed to beat that cancer ..
I never missed Jock Ewing. I watched Dallas for JR.
I don't remember this episode at all
I hate that song that Afton is singing, it’s horrible, worst she ever sang
I sing better than her.
Congratulations
jack Nicholson should have played jock ewing
Jack is a good actor but not quite right for Jock.
Nicholson was six years younger than Larry Hagman so he could hardly play his father!! 😂
@@MrWatchyourtoes Other than Davis, Buddy Ebsen for me is the only actor who could have played Jock.
I was just being silly lololololol
jim davis is #1 for that role
