Fun episode! The Wooing of Abigail Jones is one of my top five favourite Bonanza episodes. That said, I never clued into the issue of Hank’s tendency to violence when he didn’t get what he wanted. This is the early 1960’s and issues like this were seldom discussed…pre Women’s Liberation. Regardless, I watch this episode when I want to laugh, and that won’t change. As to whether I think Adam, and then Joe and Adam, did the right thing by interfering in Hoss’ love life. I think they did. They love their brother and they know he’s an innocent when it comes to affairs of the heart. Like someone else commented here…I love that final scene in She Walks in Beauty when Adam and Hoss walk away from the stagecoach and Hoss puts his arm around Adam. All’s well between the brothers.

I think Joe and Adam fans go at it the most because Joe and Adam go at it the most 😂 I've been an Adam Gal since I was 15 but I've always had a soft spot for Joe. I'd like to think I see him similarly to Adam. He can be an annoying brat at times but deep down I love him (and Adam can be a little too stuck up and smart at times but I will always love him lol) I have a twelve year age gap with my youngest sibling and it is so weird going home and seeing him in double digits. I thibk thats one if the reasons I've always related to Adsm. It's hard to be raised in a different, harsher, upbringing and then see your youngest sibling take for granted the stuff you helped work for. I do think Joe had some of the most overall character growth in the show which is so awesome to watch! There are so many good brother moments but my favorite may be in The Honor of Cochise when Joe takes off at a sprint as soon as he hears the gunshot and carries Adam back to safety 💜

I love these guys they are such a caring family 🎉❤❤❤

When the world becomes a scary place. When a President threatens the sovereignty of my home country, I come here to your Adam videos and find some peace. Thank you ❤

Me encanta bonanza

Cuando inicio la hermosa serie BONANZA, yo era una bebé, naci en el mismo año que inicio Bonanza.. 24/01/1959., y todos ya eran adultos como mis papás, pero hermanos...pero fui creciendo y disfrutando la serie... lógico que como niña, no entendía muchas cosas... Cuando supe qye habia fallecido Hoss, sin saber porque senti mucha tristeza 🥀😢..., dejaron de transmitir en Televisión la serie...y la volvi a ver, cuando tenia yo 14...despues jamas volvi a verla... Hasta ahora que ya soy adulto mayor 66 años.. Y por medio de estas plataformas, con esta nueva tecnología..disfruto, en mi idioma Español latino y en mi País México... Esta inolvidable serie BONANZA... Gracias Infinitas por compartir... Videos con musica y ecenas de tan excelentes Actores... Envio saludos y Bendiciones 🙏😘❤️ Gracias 🫂

All these episodes to me show love of family (as most Bonanza episodes). In She Walks in Beauty, my favorite parts of the love between Adam and Hoss are ironically during the fight. The fact that Adam didn’t fight back showed me just how much he loved and respected Hoss. My other favorite part was at the end when Adam and Hoss met up in town and Hoss said let’s go home and put his arm around Adam’s shoulder. ❤ As I write this I realize I pretty much went off topic of the podcast but I guess I just wanted to mention the Cartwright family love.

I was just singing "Stupid Cupid" by Connie Francis today..lololol

From this list, I would have to go with the Wooing of Abigail Jones being my favorite. It's such a funny episode. And I absolutely love Adam singing Early One Morning. It's on the Ponderosa Party Time album and I can't help but think of that scene with Abigail when I listen to it. 🤣🤣 For She Walks in Beauty which I also loved, I don't think Adam was wrong necessarily, it's almost similar to The Courtship in a way. Hoss had to learn the hard way. Although I hate when his heart gets broken because his is a lot bigger than most so it makes it that much harder to watch. 🥺😭 I love The Magnificent Adah simply for that one scene with Hoss fighting John. Very powerful scene and one of the reasons why I love the Cartwrights. I haven't seen The Dark Gate in a while but I remember I loved that part at the end, Adam's conversation with Hoss and that he was his friend again in those last moments. 🥺 Heritage of Anger is an underrated episode in my opinion as is season 14 as a whole. Great topic and video, I'm sure there are many more matchmaker episodes but I can't place them at the moment, lol. 🤔

Bem,gosto das suas ideias, a mãe de Hoss, bem legal,para Adam, só serve eu 😂😂,o Joe,não sei o nome aquela da Tempestade. Como os meninos vão seguir com esta maldição e triste ❤ Amo esse família ❤❤❤❤

She walks in beauty. I still thinks that Adam did the right thing. He gives her a change to see if she changed but she kissing Adam then knew she is still the same and Hoss will be hurt. The kiss he didn t expecting . He felt bad that Hoss saw it thats why he didn t defend himself as Hoss beats him up.

The wooing of Ms. Abigail was so funny. Adam as usual was ahhmazing. ❤❤❤

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

🤗👍🏻💔🎗🇺🇸

❤❤❤ I love Adam he is gorgeous and stunning ❤❤❤❤❤

0:46 is my absolute favorite line I quote it all the time 😂

ME ENCANTA , MARAVILLOSO , NO , NO PASARAN DE MODA NUNCA , SON MUCHO AÑOS QUE LO VEMOS Y NO CANSA ;

O que dizer desse homem? Lindo,gato,gostoso, charmoso, inteligente, sexy, moderno para aquele tempo, delícia de homem, em fim,ele era tudo isso e mais um pouco, no caráter, humildade, honestidade, respeito ao direito do próximo, era perfeito, sei lá rsrs. Amo esse homem lindo ❤❤

Que sorriso lindo. Tem uma música brasileira que diz:Não sei porque você se foi,quantas saudades eu senti e de tristeza vou viver,aquele adeus não pude dar,você marcou a vida... Ele era muito charmoso, gostoso,gato,sexy. Amo ❤❤❤

He could have asked me to marry him and my world would have been complete

Your quip about “lived to flirt another day” was great!

I actually haven't watched this one in some time (Adam is absent), but I must admit that my little brother and I used to cry from laughing so hard when we watched this one. Little Joe was always his favorite, so he loved this one. I loved the quirks you pointed out and for the overall rundown of the episode. You've got a great eye for detail!

Great comments as always and you gave me quite a few laughs. I can’t believe they didn’t have better glue for fake Joe’s mustache 😂 Happy New Year 🎊 and I always look forward to your podcasts!

"It's almost like they're being played by the same actors." "Gasp!" Lol, they tried but at times it's painfully obvious just like Joe's double in Alias Joe Cartwright. Let's just put a mustache on them as if we wouldn't be able to tell. 😜😂😂 All kidding aside, I would consider this one of my favorite episodes of season 1 simply for the teaming of Hoss and Joe. Those two together is just comedic gold. 😂😂 So many funny moments. This one reminds me of the Bank Run episode in season 2, it has the same kind of feel or vibe as this one. I enjoyed hearing your thoughts as always and happy New Year! ☺️❤️

In reference to the frequent use of dresses: You Tube is showing segments of the virtual convention "Bonanza Conventions Online" and I just watched one called "Costumes, Sets, Props and Oops!" which has a video of various actresses in the show wearing these oft seen dresses.

I totally agree about the episode Triangle! It could have been such great storyline, with Pernell showing the best of his acting abilities throughout the episode. It could have been one of the best episodes of the series, and yet they wasted that chance by trying to focus too much on Laura Dayton. Another great podcast! I can tell that you have a good attitude about your own disability, and I'll be praying that you have grace to bear it! You're a wonder!

Another great one! This is one of my favorite Adam/Joe episodes, and I especially love how they stand for justice and morality throughout the episode. And don't feel bad! I thought Joe said "Pernell spring" as well. I just thought it was Mike's New York accent coming out!

My sister and I always joke about the "Blue Dress Curse!" It's kind of funny that Laura Dayton wore blue dresses...a lot. Maybe that's a sign...

Voltei, linda canção, linda voz ❤

To tell the truth, I never really minded Jamie. Of course, I don't watch any episodes after season six, except on those rare occasions when my sister begs me to. (Ben is her favorite character) But still, I guess I just love the fact that Ben adopts Jamie and gives the poor boy the home he always needed. Yeah, I don't like the fact that they tried to forget Adam in the series, but I still don't think Jamie is at fault. In fact, in my Adam and Ruth series, I have gone ahead and added Jamie in. Adam at first is surprised when Ben tells him he has another brother, but he does accept it, and with a good attitude. I personally don't like the idea of having Jamie being Adam's son; I just feel that it would have caused more pain to Adam's fans to have a constant reminder of the man they love so much. And I also could see Adam just going off to sea and sending his motherless child to the Ponderosa. But, I don't mean any offense at all! I loved this podcast, and I liked to hear your point of view on Jamie Hunter! Thank you!

I stayed with the entire video which you did very well. I loved the idea of Adam’s son AC coming back but alas that was not meant to be. You know my feelings about Jamie. Little Joe will always be the youngest! Happiest Holidays to you and thank you for the podcasts! ❤

Jamie was okay to me, but not my favorite. I enjoyed "The Bucket Dog" and "The Initiation" episodes. I had always thought of Jamie's attitude/behavior as part of his background: he never had a stable home with all the traveling he did with his father, he watched his father die, and he went to live with a family he had just met. Then he had to get used to a new home life with different rules, not to mention a new town and school where everyone knew he was Ben's adopted son. It's not an excuse for some of his behavior, of course, but it does put some perspective on how different Jamie's childhood must have been compared to the Cartwright's. I've also read that Jamie was brought in to appeal for younger viewers. I started watching Bonanza with my grandparents when I was about eight or so and was thoroughly entertained with the four main Cartwrights. They would explain some storylines that I didn't quite get, but otherwise I enjoyed the show even then. I was always curious as to why the writers of the show thought a younger character would bring in more viewers; I'm sure there was plenty of younger viewers enjoying the show then as there are now.

I also stayed until the end 😊. I didn't like the character, Jamie. As you said, he grated on me. I don't blame Mitch. The writers were the ones who developed the character. As hypothesized, if a new character (not quite as whiny) were introduced as Adam’s son, I believe he would have been more readily accepted. Fans would have watched to see if he had any of Adam's characteristics. Oh, well. Looking forward to 2025. Happy holidays.

Oh boy. I'm probably gonna be in the minority here when I say I liked Jamie. Do I understand fans complaints? Absolutely! But as for me I had no problems with Jamie, I didn't mind his addition to the show. Was he necessary? Ehh, not really, but I guess they just wanted to try and bring in younger viewers like you mentioned. Yes, Jamie could be a brat, but he also had his good moments and could be very sweet, especially in The Bucket Dog episode with April the Irish Setter, I adore that episode. I actually prefer older Jamie in season 14. Mitch Vogel did a good job with what he was given and of course it's in no way his fault, he was only playing a part. He's a nice guy too I heard. 🤷🏻‍♀️ That being said though I will say of all the added characters, Candy was the only one that really made sense, at least to me. Maybe I just love Candy so I'm using that excuse, I don't know, lol. 😜😆 I do find the concept of Adam's son very intriguing and I wish they would have gone that route instead. In fact the Cartwright's not being able to marry and have kids of their own is my biggest complaint with the show overall. It also would have still honored Pernell's wishes. 🤔 Yeah, there's a million different things they could have done but it is what it is. But yeah I didn't mind Jamie and I do find it sad that fans have such a hatred towards him. I enjoyed hearing your thoughts though as always and I did agree with a lot of your points. ❤️ I look forward to your Griff video because he is a character that has been growing on me a lot lately since I recently bought the season 14 DVD set. 😁

I stayed the whole way. You gave me more ammonition why i do not like Jamie. There were so much more ways to tell the story of the Cartwrights. I like the turn wit AC. Thanks again i tried but i still do not like Jamie.

I don't know what you think, but I feel that Adam kissed Adah to see how easily she would fall for another man. I think he may have been worried that she'd run off with another man after she and Ben were married. He may have even been wondering if she was trying to get to him or his brothers through their father. But, who knows?

This was a good commentary! I always wondered about that photo of Marie; why in the world was this random man carrying around a picture of Ben Cartwright's third wife? Hmmmm... I like the JAM at the end of this episode; really, I love any brotherly moment between Adam, Hoss, and Little Joe. They're so loyal to each other, even if they do have their disagreements. Thanks again!

Joe Gals and Adam Gals can definitely get crazy! As an Adam Gal, I find myself getting frustrated at Joe more often than not, but that’s probably because I’m an oldest child and can vibe more with Adam than with Baby Brother. 😂 Picking a favorite Adam&Joe moment is hard! But I’d have to say that moment in “Hoss and the Leprechauns,” when Joe brings Ben and Adam to see the leprechauns Hoss has found… only to find all the little men have disappeared. Joe tries to convince Ben that he saw one of them, but after a glaring look from Pa, he turns to Adam and says, “I saw one of them…” And Adam, being the gracious older brother that he is, nods and smiles, trying to pacify Joe. That one always stuck out to me because it’s just a small, subtle hint to their deeper relationship and I love it.❤

Just discovered this podcast and I’m in love. Thank you for giving Bonanza the in-depth attention it deserves!❤🎉

Yep. Adam definitely had the best lines! Another great video!
