Reviews:
"While I don't want to give spoilers, I will say that from the beginning the viewer(s) receive, I dare say, an adequate idea of what is going to happen; just the title of this episode says that. In this particular episode Adam is engaged to Laura Dayton, (played well by the very adorable Cathie Browne)but she becomes frustrated when Adam continually misses times when he promises he will be with her: it seems that his work and/or business deals strongly interfere, intentionally or no. (Is it supposed to be comic relief when Adam misses his won engagement party?) Guy Williams who plays Adam's cousin Will Cartwright does his acting part well, by the way. So what's going to happen? Whatever the case, the ending may be joyful for some but depressing for others. It is definitely not a shoot-'em-up, but a love story which is also a character study, and I earnestly believe it will be forever unforgotten." Written by daviddaphnered on IMDb.com
"Far be it from me to refer to myself in the royal first person plural, but it makes me apprehensive about the reviewer. That said I have just seen this episode for, as far as I can recall, the first time, as I was a pre-teen while the show was still in first run on the early 70s. That said I believe this episode was as well written and well performed as any other in the long run of the series. Not only that, it is one that is based on what can really happen to a couple when one keeps secrets from the other, even when it is for a happy surprise. Neglecting a loved one especially a spouse or intended and even more a widow will leave room for doubt and confusion, and when someone comes in presenting someone more available can cause such a situation. It was a bittersweet episode which I found to be well done. No negatives from me, predictability notwithstanding. It isn't always the destination but the trip that is important."

Adam wants her gone so bad, that he stood up and walked. YaY for Adam. He came out way ahead on that one.!!! 💎💯🏆
It takes a special type of man to fall off a building and still be the hero, Adam the great!
Love🥰 this story thank you
Thanks for watching! 🤠👌🎬🍿
Adam managed to maintain a healthy attitude despite being in a wheelchair. I think he always believed he would walk again.
The kid understands loyalty more than her mom. She wouldn't allow Wil to help her. She said ill wait for Adam ha
Pernell Roberts was awesome in this episode 👏 👌
what a child she is Adam has more stability and would be a sincere father .
Wow. She didn't even acknowledge the house he was building for her! What a self- centered witch!
@Carla Stone. I thought ever since the beginning of the first part of a 3 part story that Laura and her daughter Peggy were spoiled rotten brats!!
Carla...I agree. I saw something (odd or not very sincere) re Laura. The brothers and Ben, Will ? Some knew Adam was doing the house or could have easily found out. The story fails a lot when Adam is gone a lot, comes in later at night and falls asleep...and I think she could have or did know he had to be doing something for her. How much did she love Adam that she entertained the thought of another man. There are degrees of love & she did not really love Adam. Also, he bought her the wedding ring.
I believe Adam loved her much more than she him & only he would know that by her ways, etc. I had a gut feeling about her from the start of show. Adam deserves a strong woman that does not act like a high school girl and one who loves him so much she would not be thinking of her damn self as she did. I did not like the unfaithful B and I did not like Adam help them clear their consciences so easily.
I thought the ring was ugly
She was following a script.
@@patbiggam8138 we’re pretending it was real, come on now, don’t ruin the fun with facts!
She ALWAYS has a headache, except when Will is around!
That shows that she didn't love Adam at all.
No one else like Adam 4 sure. Love it thank u
That Jezebel wasn't good enough for Adam…
Peggy was more loyal to Adam then her own mother!
The Jezebel!!!!!!
Adam is true blue, all men can learn a thing or two from Adam.
I agree with you. I could even learn a thing or two.
I think they can learn a lot a lot from ADAM.
I love the adam falling asleep while sitting in lauura's salon tired after he warked hard
He is so cute
La Shana Tova to you.😉
They also said that Michael l.didnt want the competition.
Guy Williams was a dreamboat!
Adam is like....Hell, you not gonna leave her here with me now! She won't be fanning herself around me and she's in-love with somebody else. I know he got himself up outta that chair. Adam don't want to look at her any more. Right on Adam!
Clearly they were not in love , he realized he didn't love her to marry as many on real life , all went as the writers want. I like the script she didn't dye and he wasn't heart broken.
I wished I was that lucky to be loved by Adam. Women like her gives us a bad reputation.
Same. I'd give my right arm to have a man like Adam. He's patient, intelligent, a hard worker, has a good sense of humor, romantic, good with horses (and kids), and good looking to boot! I mean what more could you ask for?
@E De Souza. I agree.
she be a HO !!!
Nice when a story of unrequited love ends on a note of integrity and best wishes, rather than a violent shoot'em up tantrum.
Adam and Laura both realized they weren't in love with one another, so no reason for the three of them to fight. Though Peggy will just have to get used to another man as a step-dad.😉
Integrity? Will took up with Adams fiance. Although they were cousins, they treated Will as another brother and he betrayed them.
@@AndrewVelonis Laura betrayed Adam.
It’s not that serious let her go marry whoever she wants and keep being happy living your life
I understand why Pernell Roberts wanted to leave because after so many seasons there was no character development for any of the characters, don't get me wrong I love all the Cartwrights but they just kept putting them into similar situations over again. Also I think it was Lorne Green that talked Pernell into staying for another season.
We never did anything behind your back Adam Oh you mean kissing someone who's engaged is nothing behind your back
Yeah. Laura was a two-timer.
She didn't seem concerned when Adam fell and got paralyzed. Same monotone voice.
I wish they picked someone else.
Cheating Biatches! Nothing surprises ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LOL
9-
@Jason Michael. That's because she was a spoiled rotten brat.
I was knew she was not right for Adam ! 😠 👍👌😘🥰😍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I knew that Laura was not right for Adam at the very beginning.
Same. I was thinking it since she first appeared in Bonanza.
The Bonanza series should have been named The heart broken bachelors at the Ponderosa.
Ben's 3 wives died
Adam, Hoss and little Joe all fell in love with women who broke their hearts many times through out the series.
But still Bonanza is the best western ever.
it would be even better if they had Matt Dillon from Gunsmoke as the lawman instead of that pitiful Sheriff Coffee
Am I the only one who didn't mind at all the sheriff?
@@stevenbowen7674 I think Coffee is great as the sheriff!!!
It was written to be that way.
Adam’s reaction to Laura and Will isn’t so far fetched if you see the previous episode, they obviously clicked before this episode. What I don’t understand is, why Adam would be building his house on his own, he could have hired men to build it, and could still tout that he was the architect… anyhow, I just want to see the house that Adam designed, built. And Laura, dear, you forgot your daughter.
Well , those things happened in real life as well, he realized he wasn't in love to be married and didn't want to hurt her, he probably felt relieved when he saw they together.
They were riding back in the wagon to remain at her house. In the show it was implied that he would take care of the ranch she had. Her daughter Peggy was at the ranch with her aunt.
Because the Cartwrights are hands-on, and even as the more intelligent/cultured one, Adam is no different.
Glad Adam didn’t marry her and she didn’t take her daughter or belongings
Why didn’t the daughter wear a dress?
Adam Adam Adam how could she easy.
Another lesson taught listen to your heart be sure before you make that decision thank you again Adam is adorable once again my heart is happy ❤
Who's willing to admitt she never had a headache and was looking at him all alone she's played Hosses' girl to and ripped his heart out
What a beautiful story. Thank you very much.
Great story!! Great performance by Pernell and Guy Williams
It's amazing the 'steps' a man will take to get a toxic female out of his life 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Love Peggy, but Laura was too flaky for a Cartwright, specially Adam.
Not me. I think that Peggy was a spoiled rotten brat just like her mother was.
Laura sure came down with a lot of headaches.
Adam Cartwirght super star..totally briliant...
Adam has always been my favorite. But he should have taken his Pa's advice about keeping the house a secret. Laura might have better understood why he was never around and falling asleep. She kinda got shoved in Will's direction a few too many times. What was wrong with Hoss or Lil'Joe running her where she needed to go when Adam wasn't around. Whether it was something that just happened or not, it was still kind of done behind Adam's back. I love watching Bonanza, but the show could have had so much more happiness to offer if the boys could have married and had families.
That also would have pretty much spelled the end logically, and ratings wise for the show as it would have changed the dynamic and turned it into different show. Logically, three aging brothers who have a chunk of a prosperous ranch still remaining bachelors despite being more than eligible is strange in the real world of course.
This was quite the episode. Very interesting and believable story, that you don't see often. I myself could relate to it, I had a similar experience. I can't imagine Adam (Pernell Roberts) thinking the scripts were lame after this one..
Adam felt that 3 sons staying with their father and being told to go to bed was a bit much for adult sons. Also Ben scolded them at times like they were teenagers, Adam didn't like that and the writers were unwilling to change the dynamic of Ben's character.
@@boreed5734 I agree and Pernell Roberts was right to feel that way.
@Allan Vacca. This episode was just as lame as parts 1 and 2 were.
@@lynettepalecek3141 apparently the writers knew better because the series sure lasted a long time.
@@vickiekasafirek9096 I disagree with you.
If more of us men and women would be more like the Cartwright's there would be far less crime. Jealousy, enviousness and greed should never enter our minds.
If more people grew up with parents/home lives like the Cartwrights that would be easier. Unfortunately, you don't get to choose your parents/environment you grow up in. Income inequality/gentrification and other elements contribute to crime as well.
47:00 so what happened to Peggy? Her mom forgot that Peggy even existed. And so did Will. .... !
What was the script writers thinking that none of this men had changed to settle down and be married!!!! Ben with his three wives all died wow!!! What sad luck!! Then the same thing whittled down to Ben's three sons none came close to getting hitched!!! Oh well great show in every way despite no one of the boys had luck with the ladies!!!!
Oh, they did come close. Little Joe even had a wedding ceremony started.
@@AndrewVelonis Close but no cigar!!! As the dumb saying goes!! Anyway who cares!!! Many people in real life never ever ever marry better off that way sometimes!! Nothing wrong with being single no worries and no regrets also no cheating and no brake ups or fights!! Most of all no wives or husbands to annoy each other so there!!!!!!!!!!
Because it kept them on the Ponderosa and preserved the dynamic that had served them ratings wise for several seasons. If they all married off, it would be just Ben, and possibly a new wife on the Ponderosa, or three full families crammed into the Ponderosa, either of which would have drastically changed the character dynamic/feel of the show.
@@andreaidesalvo9738 Andrea, yes many people don't get married. I never have. Just never met the right woman. Now, I believe marriage is a wonderful thing; a union created by God. And I'm not ruling it out, but the older I get, the more settled in I am to being single.
There are too many people who just settle for someone because they're desperate, or they think marriage is some kind of a goal, or that there's somehow a negative stigma to being single, etc.
I like what a pastor on Moody Radio said recently about marriage. "Don't marry the person you think you can live with. Marry the person you think you can't live without!"
or did Bad Ben kill them ???
Little Jo and Hoss love the way they think 🥰🥂
I'll be glad when this story is over. Obviously, Adam isn't into her enough to marry her.
It's annoying as hell. The writers and producers didn't want the Cartwright men to marry, so they write dumb ish like this. Then here comes the cousin and he gets the girl....just dumb! And little Peggy was crazy about Adam.
@@misslucky5474 Actually it was the fan push back, at the time, that put the kibosh on Adam getting married. The 'powers that be' just didn't think the possible loss of a huge segment of their audience was worth it, just to see ' Adam get married'.
@donbvs. Laura was a spoiled rotten brat. Adam should have known that right away.
@@voiceofreason7856 It wasn't that at all. The audience, including me, could see right away that Laura was never right for Adam.
@@lynettepalecek3141 You just stated what I did, but in different words. What I said is exactly what happened, at the time, I can remember hearing about it : fans writing in, in large numbers, and complaining, and the studio canning the 'Adam wedding idea'. Guy Williams was supposed to be 'Adam's replacement' as the new ' Cartwright cousin character' ( after Pernell left ) but he signed with "Lost in Space" instead, and the rest is history.
Im just grateful the writers did not take the easy way out and kill her off like so many in this series.
Killings in the show had a meaning and made good stories so dont complain
Cartwright curse.
KathieBrown also played another part on Bonanza,where her and Hoss Cartwright were gonna be married! Instead she married another guy has a Baby ,Died giving birth!
Adam did the right thing,
If she loves someone else, I wouldn't want to be second.
Adam was flogging a dead horse
Agreed,,, not sure if Will did though.
Adam did the right thing. But didn't will do the wrong thing? And as for the "lady"? You tell one man that you love him in the start then towards the end you're in another man arms? Adam is the lucky one!
She obviously didn't understand or feel what real love means. Anyone who can fall out of love with her fiance and into "love" with his cousin so quickly is on an ego trip, actually subtly flirting with Will. Her nose was bent out of shape because Adam wasn't constantly at her beck and call. Will was a jerk for hanging around her so much, especially seeing how she was pouting. Then to kiss her! Neither one is capable of faithfulness. 😖👎👎😠
We loved all the Cartwright boys and I was sorry when Pernell Roberts wanted to leave the series after 6 years . The character of Adam was a great personality . When Guy Williams was brought in to replace Pernell Roberts he suited the role well . He made a great looking western rancher and fitted in fantastically with the rest of the Bonanza cast . Landon though didn't seem to want him on as a permanent cast member of the Cartwright family.
I think there were some petty jealousies going on behind the cameras, and that was a shame . Michael Landon maintained the series could go on with just the three, Pa, Hoss and little joe . Landon was right it went on successfully for years after Pernell left . Bonanza really didn't need a new fourth member. It doesn't alter the fact that Guy Williams was great in the part of Will Cartwright . Landon was getting massive fan mail and I personally think he couldn't handle the competition when Guy Williams came along and was to be made part of the Cartwright family in the show . Williams was tall dark and handsome and suited the western attire beautifully . Landon proved to very petty really didn't he, in having Williams kicked off the show .
Michael Landon was very cute , good looking, and so on , but he was no match for ZORRO in the looks department and I think he knew it . It was a crying shame that Guy Williams only played Zorro for 2 years, because he was brilliant as that character . To many Zorro fans Guy Williams didn't play Zorro, ..... he WAS Zorro . Walt Disney pulled Zorro of the air after having a huge litigation spat with the Network . They wanted ownership of the series and Disney would not give it to them . Walt Disney pulled the highest rated show on television at the time off the air and we were so disappointed,..... unbelievable. You would think both parties could have negotiated in some way . Zorro and Bonanza were two of the greatest shows on Television during my childhood . I'm grateful we can still see many episodes of both those television programs to this day, made possible for us through TH-cam. Thank you for this episode of Bonanza .
I would of been perfectly fine with the idea of Will Cartwright being apart of the family as Adam's replacement.
Sometimes I wondered if another could’ve played Adam Cartwright instead of Pernell Roberts. I mean Pernell was a great actor and played the part well, but because of his feelings on the show and him leaving after six seasons, would it have made more sense in hindsight to have another actor there.
I don’t believe ML had anything to do with Will being kick off! I read to where this Will got offered something else and took it! In my opinion ML had nothing to be jealous of! There may have been some jealousy going on but not from him! If he was getting all the fan mail what did he have to be jealous of? ML didn’t take any crap off of any of them, I do believe that! All these Adam fans want to turn it around and make it look like ML was the petty and jeolous one when in fact more than likely it was PR!
Yes, he sure WAS Zorro. Did you know that both Michael Landon and Guy were both in the movie, "I Was A Teenage Werewolf? Guy played a police officer. Thanks for your input in all this. It was interesting reading.
@@maryanderson2171 Wow , No I did not know that Guy Williams and Michael Landon were in a movie together. I would love to see that. I will be on the lookout for that film. Thank you for the information and thank you too for your kind reply. Cheers.
It is always sad for me to watch this episode, knowing that Guy Williams, as the character Will Cartwright, will never appear again on the series. He only made five appearances, but I felt he was a major improvement to the cast and the storyline. Pernell Roberts (Adam) had planned to leave Bonanza, and the script writers had already made Guy Williams his replacement In the family. When Pernell Roberts decided to stay for another season, Guy Williams was cut from the script! I was very sorry to see him go, and felt he had breathed new life into the series. Then, later when they added the character “Jamie” into the family, I thought that was a big mistake. I couldn’t stand the personality of that character and his role in the series.
I agree I couldn't watch any episode that had Jamie in it.
I saw a couple of episodes with Jaime, and doubt those will be my better ones. I really wanted Will Cartwright to stay, and you are right, he did breathe new life.
Yah I liked Wills character too! I wish he was introduced after Pernell had left. It would have worked:)
Nobody can replace adam
So much for writing him off the script because Adam ended up mysteriously ditching The Ponderosa. They seriously should of just brought Guy Williams back on the set after Pernell left but i guess they didn't do it because he was the only Cartwright who was married off.
I've got a headache...and the headache's name is Laura.
I wonder if Adam finished the house 🏠 that he was building and in future episodes where the girl who Joe loved and married moved into. She was dying but Joe went ahead and moved her into the house. They were married in the house 🏠 and she died just as soon as they were married. 😢😢😢😢😢😢
Thank goodness that flaky woman has gone. Will wasn't much better but he was a bit of eye candy at least. They do suit each other .. kinda ... I think she's still a bit flaky to be marrying a Cartwright, even Will.
I'M GLAD THAT THAT WOMAN IS GONE TOO. She was a spoiled rotten brat. I couldn't stand her.
Exactly!!!! She really was a dingbat
Legend has it that the house adam was building still stands and refuses to rot until one of the boys actually got to keep the gal
🤣🤣🤣
In a future episode Little Joe falls in love with a girl who is dying. He moves her into the house and marries her just before she dies. 😢😢😢🥰🥰🥰
Bonanza's episodes are really outstanding, superb screen writing,two thumbs up!!!😊🤗☺️🤔
Thx for your support! 😊😃
@Ricardo Manuel Pena. I would give this 3 part story 3 thumbs down. 👎👎👎
At the end she left her daughter behind and Adam never used that ramp..What the heck... why build a ramp in the first place, entrance to the house was at ground level.. crazy episode
Thanks for watching! We also recommend this movie: th-cam.com/video/nTTOMkRzhh4/w-d-xo.html
A Cartwright with a broken heart, who would have thunk it!!!
I was anticipating that this was how they were going to finally write off Adam...
Will is so handsome, its a shame he got lost in Space. Lol
Ann R and Joe.oved to a little house on the prairie.
😂😂
They never get the girl!
Thats true lol.
No getting them is not the problem. keeping them is the problem. And yet there are lots of women who actually don't appreciate men like this. For one Reason or another.
@@dennishardy3869 I really liked Adam. I couldn't stand Laura and her daughter Peggy.
@@lynettepalecek3141 Yeah I am sure you were. I've seen that episode a few times myself. It didn't seem like Laura really loved or appreciated Adam. Looked like she kept pushing him away sometimes. Adam remained patient and understanding. I could kind of understand her little girl being upset a bit. Course it was all in the script. I myself probably would've turned from Laura cause she seemed really fickle for a grown woman. But like I said. I guess in Bonanza none of the Cartwrights we're supposed to be able to keep their love gals.
WOW! This is what my Grandfather did for my Grandmother he built the home he married my Grandmother and then then they married!
Apparently this is the episode i stopped watching in TV approx 10 years ago. Happy to reach it finally and happy there are still more episodes. I love Bonanza.
So, she's leaving with Will, who's taking a job in San Francisco traveling the world to meet important business prospects and she will never see him compared to the weeks Adam has been missing
Adam told her to marry him (Will) and they should live in her house. Will is proberly going in town to send a telegraph that he's not taking that new job 🤔😊
Why are all the female actresses always blondes in Bonanza?
@@brendaw321 I've seen all the previous episodes and I didn't come to that conclusion. They've featured actresses with all hair colors.
@@yougetagoldstar Yup. There is a guy who always posts a comment every time there's another actress with red hair. 🤣
@@brendaw321 I always thought they were mostly redheads.
This is why the Cartwrights never got married: All the women living in and passing through Virginia City were immature flakes (like Laura) or were shysters. If they weren't, they ended up getting killed off somehow.
I can’t quite remember how Adam wound up in a wheelchair but I think Lara and Will feel that they were responsible for it. 😮😮😮
Just want to thank you for these videos. I have really enjoyed watching them.
Thx for watching! 😄😃
She is such a barbie doll.
Yes and that is why she is not the right one for Adam.
Pernell himself said that Adam should marry some exotic woman lets say a Mexican or Indian or a Chinese girl. And what did they give him? That blond Barbie doll!
Yup. Ken and Barbie...I mean
Will and Laura. LOL
@@yt30417 Doesn't matter if they are American, hispanic or chinese, Adam needed a hard working woman but beautiful who could wear nice dresses and also ordinary clothes. Laura was too high maintence for Adam.
No. She was just very plain, homely and simple. Not the right kind of person for intellectual Adam.
I said to myself that she looks like a Barbie Doll.
Unfortunately, Adam is a film that is a story, but he is not selfish ❤❤❤
32:10 there was no TV to amuse Peggy, and no tablet or smartphone either. But Peggy could've amused herself by cooking or baking with Hop Sing ...... Reading, music, gardening ....... Or
....
....... Sewing, learning to knit or crochet, or other things that little girls used to do, in those days
....... My great-grandmother used to sew and bake by the time she was about eight or nine years old
Guy Williams was there to replace Pernell Roberts, for a smooth transition. When Pernell decided to stay on the show, the writers exited Guy from the show; a mistake, and better to retain Guy as a 5th Cartwright. Judging from Guy's spectacular performances in Zorro, he was the right fit as a Bonanza Cartwright.
I actually thought Will was a jerk. I didn't buy his line that it just happened. He seemed to be chasing after Laura while being friends with Adam. That's low.
Wonderful episode!
Happy you enjoyed it! 🤠👌🎬🍿
I wonder what makes all The Cartwrights always fail in love. But I'm glad everything is not real, only fiction.... 💔💝
Because they wanted to preserve the character/story dynamic of them all being around the ranch.
I would have preferred Will Cartwright as a replacement. But apparently, according to an internet article, fans did not want Adam to leave and they rallied against the character Will Cartwright. Yeah, Will should have been the replacement, instead of that Candy man/guy.
Pernell Roberts had been a stage lifer before finding fame and fortune in Bonanza, in which he had to wear a toupee and found that the scripts were not precisely Shakespeare. When he got tired of it he announced his departure, which had meant the entrance of Guy Williams as a replacement but after he had a change of heart Williams became expendable. However Williams was luckily available when Lost In Space was being produced and he had his first hit since Disney's Zorro.
Poor Adam, always gets the short straw when it comes to women!
Great series.
It really is, glad you liked it! 🤠👌🎬
Little Joe , "Anything you say Pop"
So many lessons you can learn in just 47 minutes ...
So true.
Finally a real Cartwright marriage
Adam deserved a better woman. If you can't leave her alone without jumping on the first man she sees. Will better watch his back. Every ranch hand and traveling salesman will be sharing your bed
Hoed up! These poor Cartwright boys can't catch a break when it comes to love. The writers really want to just keep the men on the Ponderosa...
Thanks for uploading
I didn't like Laura. But I liked Peggy. I think it would have been interesting if something would have happened to Will and Laura and Peggy would have stayed with the Cartwrights. I always would have loved it if there would have been a small baby sister of the age of 6. Little tomb boy. I always was fine with the fact no one got married. So Adam stayed the most wanted single man in the territory 😉.
I didn’t like Laura either. She appeared very homely and simple.
I wouldn't have minded Adam getting married, but Laura wasn't worthy of him. If they made a character that actually suited him, I could go along with it. It would have been nice to see Adam married with their own home and see Adam be a father. But the writers made their decisions...
@Vanessa Hauff. I think that both Laura and her daughter Peggy were spoiled rotten brats.
@@roseyhorsegirl8079 I agree with you.
@@beesmart4048 "homely", lol, what planet are you living on? She was gorgeous. Come to think of it, it seems like every other woman the Cartwrights encountered was a model (which of course makes sense given that it was shot in LA)
Funny how people think or worse believe that these well paid actors and actresses are actually doing something out of the ordinary, ha? The emotional seduction of the facial, body language, the words, and facial expressions of pain or pleasure, the kissing and such, all mixed along with the music, represents a form of harmony and rhythm, a resolution of imagination and fantasies. And yet it's really our faulty constructs and good or bad identities we fall into. And this is what these well paid people get paid to do is entice us, thank you Bonanza.
Love Adam
Thanks for another awesome episode! I'm eating your channel up like a hungry pack of wolves.
Happy to hear that. Thanks for tuning in so frequently! 🤠👌🎬
Bonanza movie has been set so that no one of the four gentlemen of the Penderosa family could marry a woman. The precence of a woman in their home only a while. And that makes all the episode very impressive.
Actually one of the Cartwright sons did get married, Little Joe! And his wife dint Die or move to San Francisco! There was 1 more episode after that and they ended Bonanzas 14 Years Reign !
Jerry - Little Joe's wife did die, in a house fire.
Soooooo for a year she had Adam all up in her daughter's face all in her house going to socials and church and after maybe a few weeks she's ok with putting another man...( namely one her daughter calls uncle) in her daughter's life🤨... OOOOOKKKK
Good point. Laura was pretty, but that's flighty behavior.
Heavy stuff but nevertheless 👍👌👏. Thanks a lot for uploading and sharing this old Western series.
Best regards luck and health.
A good show but this was one of the things that stifled it. Each character never got to be fully defined ( on top of multiple writers getting things wrong). Adam as the eldest should have been married and roberts be a recurring character. Would have worked well for both sides. Will should have been brought on so you could film more episodes outside of ponderosa/Virginia city. The best epsidoes of this show are the stand alone episodes with each character being challenged in some way ( crucible, tin badge, the quest, Gallagher sons, etc) on top of the episodes where the family was being attacked ( the legacy, the rescue, the gamble). Will would have brought the necessary dynamic for the show to keep going and having Adam married would keep it from being redundant about relationships. Mike landon ruined guy from being on this show. Guy even went on the record to say they had a big meeting as soon as he had his first day.....and he wasn't invited. I like landon but williams would have overshadowed him had he stayed. Seasons 10-14 are little joe on the ponderosa.
She didn't deserve Adam and more importantly he didn't deserve flaky A🤬🤬
I AGREE!!
So do I!!!!
Laura and Adam were dragging their feet about their engagement so I was not surprised that she fell for his very handsome cousin Will instead. How handy for her that there was someone else available. :D Adam had a miraculous recovery suddenly standing up. In reality Pernell Roberts decided not to quit the show and to stay for another year, so POOF Goodbye Guy Williams.
Don Diego!!!
If after all that time she's suddenly not ready to set the date, Adam should have realized that woman isn't wife material. I don't know what he ever saw in her anyway, she's too whiny.
Adam was my least favorite in the Bonanza movies 🍿. He just seemed so smug and impressed with himself. Seems like he agreed with all the women who thought he was so great and good looking and looked at him as if he had hung the moon and painted the stars ⭐️. I’ll bet a lot more women loved 🥰 him than men did.
31:05 Ben told Will to postpone his trip. But Ben really didn't need Will to do that. The family wouldn't have needed help, except for his fiancee and daughter 's
First thought was to be upset that Laura and will would do such a thing and not even bat an eye. But than I remember that Adam to receive, except, and act in any other way thats unbecoming of a gentleman would not be the nature of a true Cartright man. Yes I realize that Will is Bens brother's son. But hes not one of the original Cartwright men. Also I found it ironic that the little girl had more loyalty to Adam than her mom.
While watching this, I kept thinking Guy Williams seems a little more ethnic than his name and this role. Sure enough he's Sicilian, born Armando Joseph Catalano and grew up in little Italy in NYC.
Well at least this gal didn't die in Adam's arms.
You forgot ur daughter😳
Why would they have four episodes of Adam losing a potential wife, child and house? Pernell was going to leave the show after the fifth season. Was the storyline supposed to give him an incentive to stay? Did the producer change his mind at the last minute on how he wanted the storyline to end, or was it the plan all along for Laura to end up with Adam’s cousin? Did Adam not get married because of female fan’s letters? Also, I read that Landon and Greene didn’t want the cousin on Bonanza because the two of them didn’t want any other male lead on the show to be a “Cartwright.”
There's a movie about their kids but in the bonanza episodes, they never had kids or kept a woman.
Actually it was the fan push back, at the time, that put the kibosh on Adam getting married. The 'powers that be' just didn't think the possible loss of a huge segment of their audience was worth it, just to see ' Adam get married'. Not sure about Greene, but Landon didn't want the 'fan competition' of another good looking man in the show, to replace a good looking man, Pernell. Sounds petty, but I understand it's true.
@Cyber See. A lot of fans, including me, didn't want Adam to marry Laura because Laura was a spoiled rotten brat.
Who needs the headache anyway, good riddance.
He building a house for a woman and she wants run off with another man and they end the show with the woman still hasn't dun anything wrong. Like the old saying goes. "if u love them let them go. I let all of them go and don't come back
This show never fails to get me in 2 areas.
1. For a family that’s so rich and who live on a property as large as the Ponderosa, why is the main entrance and exit from the house go around the side of a barn rather than a grand driveway? Yes yes, I know; production costs.
2. For a family as rich as the Cartwrights, why do they do so much of the **most** menial manual labouring work around the Ponderosa rather than the hired help. I know Ben Cartwright wants to teach his sons the value of hard work etc but much of it is too menial for men in their position.
They do hire dozens of workers but it's usually for seasonal work, mainly when 1. cattle need to be herded to market and 2. whenever Ben gets a timber contract and needs thousands of trees chopped and delivered quickly.
PA treats the boys like teenagers
@@mhsewbiz They wore the same clothes episode after episode precisely so that the producers can take small clips (like generic horse riding clips) from other episodes and mix and match them with any other episode to save on production costs. That's a fact. Notice on "The Virginian" TV western, the Virginian also wore the same clothes every episode.
Piper... Many rich people don't flaunt their wealth and many certainly don't need a "grand driveway" to impress their friends and neighbors. And no, doing menial labor is not "too menial for men of their position". IMO, you have an odd perception of work and wealth. I dare say that nearly every farmer-owner, ranch-owner or logger-owner would scoff at the idea that certain jobs are beneath their position or beneath the position of their sons/daughters.
@@edschultheis9537 THAT'S VERY WELL SAID!!!! I agree with you.
You snooze you lose. Ben was right he should of told her about the house n neglect her. She felt like she wasn’t enough
So sad
The sweet adam works so hard to build his hause
And falls fro the building and gets paralized
So his girl friend lives him
Three single men living the life of then millionaires cant find a woman? Really? Moral upstanding gents, two very good looking...hmmm, if you even think on this the show becomes sorta stupid.
Olá!!! Acho que adam deveria ter levado Laura pra s Francisco foi perigosodeixar laura. Will aproveitou pra passar conversa em laura. Que feia atitude will.
It’s not intended for them in the movie.
About the reality of three wealthy adult brothers living with each other... I knew three adult sisters who lived with each other. Their father gave each of them a house, or money to buy a house. They all lived in one house, and rented out the other two houses. The three houses were next door to each other. They didn’t work, (other than being landladies). They didn’t want us to leave because my siblings and I were their surrogate children. I went back to my hometown when I was in my twenties. The three of them were still there, living together in the same house. So it’s realistic to me that the Cartwright sons lived together as adults.
@@cybersee9966 I understand. I have known 3 separate brother's and sister's who stayed single and lived together until death separated them.
Guy Williams soo reminds me of Errol Flynn !!
Guy Williams was dashing and debonair. He was on the TV show, lost in space. He also played Zorro on the Disney channel. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
This is what happens when there aren't enough regular females cast for a show 😂😂
hahahahaaaaa nice one
They rescued a lot of stray female. Pa Ben should’ve have adopt one.
Admittedly this is an off the wall comment, but short of moonlight I wonder how people travelled at night... Out of Town, anyway. No street lights, no city lights to speak of...it would be pitch black.
Yes, I've wondered that myself. They don't seem to stop what they're doing at night. Sometimes they didn't leave Virginia City till midnight and that's a 20 mile ride.
Why are the women always running after other men even when they are engaged or married 😢
