Another adventures of Ben Cartwright and his sons (Pernell Roberts, Dan Blocker, Michael Landon and Mitch Vogel) as they run and defend their ranch while helping the surrounding community.
I love Bonanza! But this was a strange episode... It just didn't have the same depth of screenwriting as previous episodes... Especially with Adam, and later Candy. and when Little Joe was a youngster - he became too headstrong later. Ben and Hoss are the best throughout the whole show - after Hoss ( Dan Blocker) died things went downhill.
The music intro is really really, really ,soft compared to the original. I guess the producers never heard the statement, : if it ain't broke, don't fix it. "
Dan Blocker doesn’t really look himself in this episode. You've got to realize that these later episodes of Bonanza featured Hoss at the time he was getting close to his death in real life. Probably the last thing he should’ve been doing was working on the TV show. He died at the young age of only 43. And that was roughly about a year after this show was broadcast.
this was season 12. The show ran 14 seasons and Dan Blocker passed just before the final season. So he was there in season 13. He wasn't "sick", but when he had a gallbladder surgery, he threw a blood clot to his lung and they were unable to resuscitate him.
"The last thing he should've been doing was working..."??? Why would working be the fatal factor? I suspect his early death had more to do with his carrying 300+ lbs year after year. He was well aware -- and I bet the producers and EVERYONE reminded him constantly -- that he needed to keep his weight up for his character, despite the risk to him. I'm guessing, of course, but not idly. Did ALL the cast and creators stand around at his funeral, sheepishly eyeing each other, knowing that they'd sacrificed him??
Liza Walter also played on one episode of Highway To Heaven called The People Next Door s4 e4. I wonder what they used to burn Bucks name on his grave marker
The last few seasons have been awful. They even discarded the original theme music. Adam left, Candy is gone, it's just not a great show anymore. Most of the stories leave me feeling like a lot was left out.
Your whole life is wasted in critisizing everything. You are a miserable and unhappy person. Find some joy and live a life thanking god for what u do have.
Kinda lazy writing here. What would they gain by isolating themselves in that mountain ridge, leaving them open for a surrounding ambush. The plan is to catch the sheriff off guard when they come riding in through the narrow path in-between the ridges, but in the end Buck goes to the top, makes himself an open target and gets shot. Shit plan. What happens to the wife in the end is not clear, nor any resolution to the backstory of how their farm was burned down.
That's pretty much what I was going to say. Buck was selfish sending his wife down. She will probably be hung for murder and it didn't seem like Hoss was going to testify on her behalf. This was definitely the worst episode
I’m sick of this feeling guilty for shit I had nothing to do with. The media (including my favorite tv show) has been shoving this guilt down my throat my whole life and I ain’t watching it no more!
@@bobdimarzio3972 For being white and a man! It’s never been worse than right now! Now I’m a dangerous terrorist because I’m a Trump supporter! Bro I’ve never hurt a flea in my whole life but if a space alien came down to Earth for the first time and flicked on a TV they would think white conservative men eat babies for three meals a day! I’m sick of being portrayed this way! It’s been going on for at least the last 50+ years!
Kinda good episode. I dont know why the writers had to have so many endings where someone gets killed. Very predictable. They also kind of ruin it with the pearly white BRIGHT teeth. Especially on a dark shinned man. For me this takes so much away from being this time period. And how many times do you have to cock a rifle without a shell coming out? Dont want to be so negative. Maybe its PMS.
Even though I' m sure not many people went to the dentist back then... there was less processed food, less packaged sugary junk, soda etc. Unless someone chewed tobacco, dental health was probably better than today. ( especially when someone was relatively young.)
This was set right after the Civil War. Freed slaves might have been bitter about slavery. Many went out West and were cowboys. And they often faced hostility and bias.
For good reason. And so are the Indians. Not to mention, the Russians, the Chinese, most of the countries in the "middle east" and every other nation that has dealt with you. Even those that you once considered allies are turning on you because of your treachery. And now look around and see what's going on in your world. The Most High has had enough. Babylon is falling. And I'm willing to bet you still can't see it.
That's a very young Lou Gossett!!!! The lady's dress has a zipper up the back - they weren't put into use until after the turn of the century.
Not until the thirties, I believe. Buttons prior to that.
Loud Gossett Jr is a great actor. He should have landed more epic movies.

Yes, very strange episode. Awkwardly acted and inauthentically written, somehow.
Well hollywood has to keep race hate alive somehow. Same as they do today with all the trash hate movies they peddle.
See Neil Summers in the posse.. "Squirrel" in Terrence Hill's "My Name is Nobody."
Another great episode.

Horrible theme song they never should have messed with it.

Hoss always carries a jack knife. He could have heated in a flame to burn it in.
It's like he gets a horse every birthday!

Well we know to you and your ancestors Black Lives didn’t matter to y’all then and name.

@chak lee The writer of each episode is given credit in the opening theme.
Please do something about your Videos again no sound. I love Bonanza
It must be your phone or TV cause I hear it very loud and clear on my phone and I'm in Uganda Africa ♥️😍
@AMELIA GIBBS: USE SOME HEADSETS TO HEAR THE AUDIO.

Just use headphones or bluetooth speaker I don't know why it works but it does.

Just wondering why Hoss always end up a hostage.
Hoss the Hostsge....Has got a ring to it.
No sound
Well I am Mrs Buck
No sound 😢😢
WHERE'S HOP SING?
Why is this episode sounds are blocked
Blocker ate himself to death. Just like the character.
Wrong , he died from complications of a botched surgery .
Hose was big but the the big eater as portrayed by Hoss.
No audio

Nobody could beat hoss in a fight. Blacks always angry in these later shows. Still are.
