Save Jock Ewing
As many of you now know Larry Hagman is auctioning off contents from his home including Dallas memorabilia.
You can check out the items and place your bids by visiting https://www.julienslive.com/view-auctions/catalog/id/24/
There are some fantastic Dallas items up for auction but the main item sending Dallas fans in a tizz is the original iconic portrait of Jock Ewing.
Following the death of Jim Davis who played Jock Ewing in 1981 the producers wanted to keep his presence integral to the show. They commisioned Ro Kim to paint Jim’s portrait in the style of the old masters.
Larry took the portrait home in 1991 where it has remained until now. Jock’s portrait did feature in Dallas War of the Ewings but it was the tacky remake that hangs in Southfork Ranch for tourists.
With Dallas back the portrait should reside once more in the show. Surely we don’t want to see this iconic portrait hanging on the wall of some fans home in Germany where it can’t be viewed.
Come on TNT get your wallet out and put Jock back in his rightful place.

Between me and my husband we’ve owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I’ve settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.
Hands down, Apple’s app store wins by a mile. It’s a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I’m not sure I’d want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.
Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass’ favor.
Sorry for the huge review, but I’m really loving the new Zune, and hope this, as well as the excellent reviews some other people have written, will help you decide if it’s the right choice for you.
For all the Dallas fans out there it must stay somewhere where we can all access and enjoy it.
Jock’s Potrait is an iconic piece of American Television History. Just like the Fonz’s Leather jacket or Archie Bunker’s chair,the painting is part of our history and belongs either at South Fork or in the Smithsonian Institute. If Mr. Hagman no longer wants the painting,it should be put in a place where it will be safe and fans of Dallas can view it.
This belongs at Southfork for everyone to enjoy while watching the new show .. Not in someones house. I am a big fan however I would feel selfish to own it and keep it from everyone else I hope most fans feel the same , I don’t see how anyone would want it to put on their wall. It belongs at Southfork….
Hoping something good is done with it and that it’s displayed in a proper place.
The original portrait above should be hanging in John Ross’s office at Ewing Oil, so come on TNT put the portrait where it belongs please!
This iconic portrait must not be lost. It means to much the fans of the show, someone somewhere must be able to get a worthy home for it.

Yeah, I’m worried it’s going to end up in a private collection.
I feel my inner Indiana Jones coming out… “It belongs in a museum!”
C’mon —
– Southfork?
– Warner Brothers?
– Renaissance Tower?
– Smithsonian?
I thought of bidding myself and then trying to negotiate a way to get it back to the ranch where it belongs.
Jock’s portrait belongs at Southfork, please Southfork, bid for or negotiate a way to get it back. I will help as much as I can!!!!!
Love Sarah xox This means so much to me!
