Let's find out what the world would have been like had there
NEVER BEEN a J.R. Ewing! In other words, what if he had never
been born? An angel (or so it seems at the beginning) takes
J.R. on a "fantasy trip" during" which they both
discover some startling surprises: Gary is a successful divorce
lawyer in California, Bobby is a hustler in Las Vegas struggling
to pay alimony payments for his kids, Cally is deep in trouble,
living with an abusive husband and landing in jail probably
for the rest of her life for killing him (in self-defense),
there is another brother -- Jason, a successful land developer
who keeps arguing with Bobby, especially over money, Kristin
ends up as a professional con artist posing as a cop, while
Ray is quite miserable at his job but very happy family-wise.
Oh, yes, and there's is Cliff Barnes who, without J.R. to fight
with, keeps climbing the ladder of success all the way to ....
the White House! J.R. cannot believe any of this and keeps telling
the "angel" (Joel Grey) that this just cannot be and
that he "doesn't like it!" To which the "angel"
keeps saying: "Nobody said you had to like it!" That's
just the way it would have been had J.R. never been born. The
two hour trip ends when J.R. wakes up and is relieved to find
out it was just a dream. But the relief is very short-lived
because it doesn't look like Heaven is exactly where the "angel"
came from, and it seems that the ultimate tragedy in the life
of J.R. Ewing occurs at the end.
