Most remember him as JR in "Dallas." I'll remember him as Major Tony Nelson, US Astronaut. Nerds could go to the moon, and get the magical girl.
It was an age of possibilities; right before we all froze at the real mission completed, vision articulated by President John F. Kennedy of a man on the moon.The change of the times then, as now terrified some and thrilled others. For our entertainment, we had families Lost in Space, in the 21st Century the Jetsons; explorers in the 23rd Century with a Starship named Enterprise. Our collective imaginations looked up as well as inward; Barbara Eden and Larry Hagman made us laugh as we inexorably moved forward under time's arrow of entropy we're all subject to in the end.
Godspeed Larry Hagman...
