I was shot when I think it was number one. That was the catalyst for the interest in the show. Certainly it went on for a long time after that but that's what really kicked it off. Of course a lot of people watched it just because of the novelty of the situation.

The appearance marked the first time the two performers had acted together since Eden appeared with Hagman in a five-episode arc on Dallas in 1990. Ultimately the person who pulled the trigger was revealed to be Kristin Shepard (played by Mary Crosby) in the "Who Done It?" episode which aired on November 21 1980. He also directed (and appeared briefly in) a low-budget comedy and horror film in 1972 called Beware! The Blob also called Son of Blob a sequel to the classic 1958 horror film The Blob.

Hagman had supporting roles in numerous films including Fail-Safe Nixon and Primary Colors. His television appearances also included guest roles on dozens of shows spanning from the late 1950s up until his death and a reprisal of his signature role on the 2012 revival of Dallas. Hagman was the son of actress Mary Martin.
