Remember that gorgeous bottle of bourbon that sat on the table in J.R. Ewing's room at Southfork, the one his brother, Bobby; son, John Ross; and, sadly, alcoholic ex-wife, Sue Ellen, have imbibed from since the rascally former oil baron's death on "Dallas" this season?

Soon enough, "Dallas" fans will be able to do some imbibing of their own, as the powers that be at the show and a Texas liquor distributor have teamed up to make a J.R. Ewing bourbon that will go on sale this fall.

"I have one on my desk, but it's unopened, and the bourbon in it is not the bourbon that's going to be in the real bottle. This was just for presentation purposes, but it's nice," "Dallas" executive producer Cynthia Cidre tells Yahoo! TV. "I look at it every day. It's awesome, with that little J.R. Ewing signature on it. It's a good idea."

And will it look just like the one we've seen during some of the most emotional moments of Season 2?

"Exactly. It will look exactly like that," Cidre says. "It has a wood

It's been an emotional second season for TNT's reboot of "Dallas," after the death of iconic star Larry Hagman last November. And though Hagman's death was a blow -- and threw curveballs at storyline plans of the show's producers and writers -- even the most devoted fans would have to agree that the season has turned out to be deliciously dramatic, suspenseful, touching, and at times even funny … in short, a very successful and fitting send-off to Hagman and his larger-than-life J.R. Ewing.

John Ross and Christopher know bits of info about what J.R. himself called his "masterpiece," but Bobby knows even more, and at the end of 15 episodes that have seen J.R.'s funeral, Sue Ellen's return to the bottle, Ann's unlikely reunion with her troubled daughter, Emma, the introduction of Elena's brother Drew, the crushing death of Rebecca and Christopher's unborn twins, the coupling of Emma and Drew and John Ross and Rebecca, and, last week, the surprise Vegas wedding of John Ross and Rebecca,

Doubt the title of National Geographic Channel's miniseries "The '80s: The Decade That Made Us"?

Consider this, a list that includes just a fraction of game changers that emerged from the 1980s: cell phones; video games; the Walkman (the iPod's obsolete big brother); the growth of cable TV; the workout craze (thank you, Jane Fonda); and, speaking of "big brother," with Apple's iconic "1984" commercial, the birth of the Super Bowl ad as event TV.

Watch the ad: 

So calling the 1980s the "decade that made us" is not an exaggeration, and for the miniseries, premiering April 14, Nat Geo interviewed dozens of politicians, newscasters and newsmakers, and celebrities who all testified to the lasting influence that the 1980s had not only on pop culture but on American society in general.

"I think that personal nostalgia is probably the same for everybody, because you remember back to childhood. Childhood tends to, for most people, feel like a simpler time. I would say this: I think that

Adam Reed (Photo by Neilson Barnard/Getty Images)Another season of "Archer" comes to an end, with another AMC star stirring up trouble for Sterling Archer and company. In the Season 3 finale, it was "Breaking Bad" star Bryan Cranston who messed with the ISIS crew in space. In this week's Season 4 finale, "Mad Men" leading man Jon Hamm guest stars as Captain Murphy, who's gone a bit, well, mad, because he's been living alone in an underwater lab for a wee bit too long.

While it's a sad event for "Archer" fans to bid adieu to the world's (self-proclaimed) greatest spy guy for the season, the Emmy-worthy animated comedy has been renewed for a fifth season, so here's hoping "The Walking Dead's" Andrew Lincoln or Norman Reedus get the call to play the Season 5 finale baddie.

In the meantime, Yahoo! TV talked to "Archer" series creator -- and the voice of ISIS's bionic agent Ray Gillette -- Adam Reed about the show's stellar guest stars, the one thing FX wouldn't allow Archer to do, whether or not Archer will ever find out the identity of

Did you catch that glimpse of Rob Lowe in the "Behind the Candelabra" trailer? Or maybe you didn't recognize the "Parks and Recreation" star (around the :40 mark) as plastic surgeon Dr. Jack Startz, whose own face had been the subject of quite a bit of surgical revamping.

Startz plays a key role in the HBO movie about Vegas legend Liberace and his relationship with his young lover, Scott Thorson: He's the doc Liberace turned to when he decided he wanted Thorson to not only live like him, but look like him.

Startz's mug may have served as his calling card to patients who sought his silicone injection treatments to sculpt their features, but Lowe says transforming his own handsome face to look like Startz for "Behind the Candelabra" required an elaborate combination of tape, elastic, and wigs that left him with serious headaches during the movie's production.

How powerful a ratings champ is "The Walking Dead"? Not only did Sunday night's third-season finale beat the miniseries finale of "The Bible" on History Channel and the third-season premiere of "Game of Thrones" on HBO, but "The Walking Dead" season-ender also broke the series' own ratings record.

There were 12.4 million viewers who tuned in to see dozens of deaths and some major changes in residency on "The Walking Dead" finale, setting a new ratings record for the AMC zombie apocalypse drama. Nine million viewers watched the show's Season 2 finale, while the show's old ratings record was 12.3 million viewers for its midseason return in February.

"Two words: Grateful. 'Dead,'" AMC president Charlie Collier said in a statement. "It's a joy that we get to work with such tremendous talent to make 'The Walking Dead' and 'Talking Dead' come to life for audiences that continue to engage and grow. In just three

SPOILER ALERT: This recap for the "Welcome to the Tombs" episode of "The Walking Dead" contains storyline and character spoilers.

Remember when you heard those rumors about 27 people dying in the third-season finale of "The Walking Dead"? And you thought to yourself, "Wait, are there even 27 people on the show?"

Yes, yes there are, if you count the citizens of Woodbury. Or what used to be the citizens of Woodbury, as more than half of them did not make it out of the season finale alive. Along with Milton. And Andrea.

We know, we know -- Milton's death was pretty much a forgone conclusion after he got lippy with the Governor and then barbecued those walkers, and Andrea has been working most fans' last nerves all season, but these were tough losses.

See Andrea's final moments:

And then there was the most shocking loss of all: Carl Grimes's humanity, or maybe the last remaining tiny shred of innocence, depending on how you look at it, and most definitely any remaining faith he had in

Raise your hand if you immediately feared for the safety of Woodbury's science nerd, Milton Mamet, when he went against his pal Phillip, aka the Governor, in the "Prey" episode of "The Walking Dead."

Milton, played by Dallas Roberts, was one of the few people the Governor seemed to trust, but after Milton spilled some secrets to Andrea and barbecued the Gov's walker pit, it's safe to say that his days in Woodbury, or anywhere, could be numbered.

Roberts, whom viewers also know from his gigs on "The Good Wife," "The L Word," and another AMC drama, "Rubicon," talked to Yahoo! TV about how the season finale sheds more light on Milton's mysterious past, why his character finally lashed out at Rick Grimes's enemy, and why he can muster up some sympathy for his apocalypse leader; and he also talked about his (many) other upcoming TV and movie projects.

Congratulations -- you made it to the season finale, which certainly wasn't a sure thing, since Milton had just started to stand up to the
