Maybe. I know I do. I only vaguely know about Who Shot JR

I've never actually watched that show. Dallas, right?

Most likely. I think most people today who know of the JR thing only know it through cultural osmosis.
"Oh, that's from that one old show that had that one big cliffhanger."

Yeah. I didn't get the reference as a kid either, I just remembered my parents talking about it being like Who Shot J.R
after it happened.

I'd assume so, given that I had to look up who JR is.

I didn't learn about the Who Shot JR thing until many years after I'd seen the Mr. Burns episode.

This. More people will know the Simpsons than Dallas, but I'd say a large percentage will know neither. A twenty eight year old episode isn't really culturally relevant.
