Dan Haggerty as Grizzly Adams was my all-time childhood hero. He had a major impact on me. I hope to meet you some day in Heaven!
Yeah ... that will be the most Awesome time... when we get to see our friends and family again....
Ja, das war eine sehr schöne Sendung im Fresehen, schade das diese Sendung nicht mehr wiederholt wird!😂 Alles mögliche wird wer weiß wie oft gezeigt, aber solche Sendungen leider nicht das finde ich sehr, sehr schade!😂😂😂😂😂😂
I'm 62 years old and sometimes I sing that song from the show word for word still remember it great song
maybe...
This show had a huge influence on the rest of my life, im 54 now and still go out wild camping bushcraft, i have a great outdoor life full of experience thanks to Grizzly AND Ben!!!!
There was something magical about it..! 💙🇬🇧
We need another Grizzly Adams type show right now!!!!!! These shows were absolutely fantastic!!!!!!
Yes!!! This guy was my hero growing up. He gave me a love and connection with animals while growing up, in the city. I can't forget him. He is a big part of my life and innocence, till this day! So.... how do we get this petition started.
@@Traewing I’m not sure but these children today need great shows like this.
Being British I guess we didn't see or get certain shows as they were in the US. Early 90s I became a fan of Grizzly (and the likes of Littlest Hobo etc). Think it was on our Channel 4. I remember it was Sundays. I also remember one day choosing to run from the dinner table as we wrapped up and insisting on watching Grizzly Adams. I must've been six. When you're little you don't see things as you do as an adult and so Grizzly Adams was something else.
Years and years later when I read Dan Haggerty had passed, and I was late twenties/early thirties, I found myself heartbroken. A childhood hero gone.
Folk can mock but when you're very little, imagination is a great thing and Grizzly Adams made me dream. Made me forget my Home Counties, dreary upbringing with no money and imagine the wide open landscapes of the USA.
RIP Dan.
How these kind of TV shows, with clear concepts about Nature are missing today! Simple stories with values.
I am 50yrs old and I have owned the cd set for over a decade because of the impact it had on me as a kid. Thanks Dan for some of the great moments of being a kid in the late 70s.
RIP Dan Haggerty forever you'll be Grizzly Adams
Actors today can't hold a candle to Dan, long live grizzly adams!
Dan Haggerty will be so miss he pass away in 2016 and will always be a great grizzly man that he was I mat him once and you could not ask for any better friend then him , I miss you my friend,,, rest in peace......😢
In my opinion this was one of the greatest shows in television history. I loved watching it as a child and enjoy sharing it with my son today. Dan haggerty was one of the greats and never will be forgotten. Rest in peace old friend.
Dan Haggerty was the apitamy of what was good back then. His humble character and his beloved bear Ben. Dan you and Ben are now walking the wilderness of heaven together as god intended. Children of today should watch your stories and learn to appreciate our beautiful world and the nature that resides within it. God bless you Dan
This show should be aired once more...I love Dan Haggerty and his connection with animals!
"God's backyard is something that should be taken care of". Priceless! I haven't seen an episode or heard the heart wrenching theme song in 44 years. Three nights ago the song Maybe appeared in my you tube feed. I haven't stopped crying since. Thank you GOD for leading me back to my childhood joy. I will be looking for Dan and Ben in Heaven
I loved this show as a child and always wished I could live with Grizzly Adams and Ben up in the mountains surrounded by the animals and the beautiful wilderness. Hearing the song makes me tear up. Lovely, happy memories.
I adored this serie more than 40 years ago as a kid, always dreamed of living the same life in nature...but life got in the way. Now all those years later my kids still know who Grizzly Adams (Dan Haggerty) is and what he meant for me! After being retired some years ago I bought a house in the Belgian Ardennes, moved there and now enjoy life in the silence and beauty of nature. Thank you Dan!!!
I grew up watching this show. Sorry to hear he passed away. So gentle an actor. Filmed at a more innocent time.
The show resonated so well with people, because the character of Grizzly Adams was a manifestation of who Dan really was. I've read & heard so many stories from other actors, to crew members to fans. He was a kind, gentle, and jovial soul.
When i was a child in the 70's/80's i used adore "life and times of Grizzly Adams", i've never missed a show(even the film). I am 45 now and Grizzly Adams still have a place in my heart and taught me to respect nature. Now i have passed the mantle to me 4 kids who love this. Passing on the magic to the next generation.
Same here! Greetings from Croatia!
One of my childhood heroes
The same
Mine tooo.... And I am in Italy
me too ..
I grew up in the seventies and eighties and that show really influanced me in a positive way. I dreamed of a father like grizzly adams and living in the mountains. I grew up as an animal trainer (horses, dogs, macaws & parrots) and live out in the country. I live my dream, although its not the fairy tale life of the tv show, it is a beautiful life nonetheless.
Compare what they feed to the brains of children today VS to what they did when we were growing up.
You were an icon to many generations; we loved you as Grizzly Adams. RIP kind sir, we will never forget you.
It's so nice to see how much he enjoyed being on the show. He seemed like a really nice person. It's a shame he's gone. RIP
Loved grizzly Adams when I was young,
Brilliant man R.I.P
What a wonderful show that was. I was a young kid back them, and the whole idea of Grizzly Adams, his friends, the woods, the animals, all just pulled me in. Now I know that America was going through some hard times back then, but this show I think represented what people yearned for amidst the difficulties. Such a beautiful and innocent show, with wonderful ideas. I wish we had something like that today.
Yeah, Griz was our Sesame Street and Electric Company. Be kind and help when you can and be willing to learn love to survive. Y'all getting me emotional. And I pride myself on being hardcore like my grams with my grands. lol.
I loved the show, it's been 46 years now and i can still sing the words to the opening song. What a wonferful Tv series! Such good family morales. RIP Dan Haggerty
I remember feeling warm and fuzzy while watching Grizzly Adams as a child. I will never forget you Grizzly aka Dan Haggerty.
Wish they still did shows like this. Three men inspired me as a nature lover and photographer, one was Ansel Adams, the second John Muir, and the third Grizzly Adams. Thank you and RIP Dan.
Rest in Peace Dan, great memories watching Grizzly Adams.
I watch it this moment on Croatian TV, i never missed it as a kid. Still enjoy it
Great show I watched every episode as a kid growing up in the 70s
What a good man. This show shaped me and my love for nature. I can't thank him enough.
I miss Grizzley Adams, Dan Haggerty, the native american, and crazy mad jack, they all touched my heart, as a boy, and molded me, into, an even better man, learned so many things..
Grizzly Adam's made a great impression on me as a kid! It was always intriguing and comforting to watch the show. The fact that you acknowledge God for His creation is refreshing and very rare, especially now a days. Thanks for one of the coolest show of my childhood Dan!
As a kid I loved watching the Grizzily Adams show. Around 1985 or 1986 I was a young deputy at the Men's L.A. County Jail. One morning as I was about to
get off work from the night shift in the Jail Hospital I was told to go up to the "old side" to escort an inmate back to the 2nd floor unit in the jail hospital where note worthy inmates were housed. When I arrived at the general population module I was given a JRC (jail record card) and told to escort the inmate to the hospital ward. I was amazed to look at the inmate and see that it was Dan Haggerty standing before me in a dark blue jail jump suit. He was barefoot and
the leggings of his jump suit was a bit short for his height. He had no possessions. His hair and beard was exactly as he wore it on the Grizzily Adams Show.
He was very polite and quiet. I had small talk with him as I escorted him to the proper housing. Some deputy must of have recognized him and ordered the rehousing. To me he was so well known and highly recognizable and I couldn't believe he was not screened better in the process and housed accordingly.
He wasn't in custody for very long. I remember this so clearly even though it was 35 or 36 years ago. He was a gentle kind man just as he is remembered
by his loved ones. Take care good man.....
Every time I hear the theme song, it takes me back to when I was a just a boy. My dad, and I, would sit and watch Grizzly Adams from beginning to end every week. Dan passed in January, 2016. I lost my dad in January, 2017. Both losses left an giant hole in my life.
Scot lanter agreed totally 80s flicks are best greetings from UK England Essex near London 👍🐾🐺
@ Scott Lanter have You heard about Jane? aka Nightbirde ..She is certainly anything but plain, 😘 She's in Zanesville, Oh. muy bueno, AGT. She has cancer. 💔
As a child, this was my favorite show. Thank you for posting this great interview!
absolutely loved this show as a child! wish they would play reruns.
Loved Grizzly Adams as a teen girl and still watching the DVD as a 50 something woman! Rest in peace Dan!!
Probably the best TV show of all time! Thank you Dan Haggerty
Take care of the animals in heaven
There is no one better that can play that part as grizzly adams as Dan Haggerty can , the life and times of grizzly adams was a very holsum show with no blood and guts of killing like there is today and all I can say is Dan no one can be grizzly adams but you , and we miss you all that touch our hearts with so much joy 😊..........
How many of us watched every week wanted to go and live in the woods? Man I did! And now at 51, with a hectic modern Life...I dream of doing it every day! Rip Dan. You gave us something to dream on with.
I grew up watching Grizzly Adams and I wish I can get all of the series of the movies
they on youtube
It's available on TH-cam
Loved Dan! He was my pretend dad when I was little.❤
Him and Michael Landon from Little House were my pretend dads.
AS A YOUNG PERSON IN THE 1970 GRIZZLY ADAM IT TORT ME ABOUT NATURE AND THE KINDNESS OF MEN LIKE ADAMS
Tort!? Really lol
You are now reunited with your beloved wife, and with Ben. Thank you, for the wonderful experience you gave so many. Mr. Haggerty, sir.
It was a good show, a better time of life.
Good old seventies . . .
I had the hugest crush on him. So big and strong and gentle!! Just loved Grizzly Adams.
When I was in preschool, the character of Mr Adams was a role model to me.
I actually teared up when he passed away. Always wanted to meet him. Always wanted to live like that. I'm closer now than I ever been. I do live back in the woods of Southern Ky. Lots of animals here and I do talk to the deer, lol. I've been within 20 yards of them and videoed them. They didn't seem to mind.
Happy that you made your dream a reality peace and blessings
That show had a huge positive impact on a lot of people, myself included. Thanks to that show and Grizzly Adams, and the theme song, I ended up buying property and building a cabin in Colorado in the late '80's that our family still uses to this day. As a young person in the '70's, the show and the song really defined my feelings about the mountains, the outdoors, the animals, and nature in general. Really great stuff, Dan Haggerty will be missed, but never forgotten, he was a great guy.
@@trevorjameson3213 Yes indeed He was .. I miss Him 💜💔💜
Love Dan wot a gentleman lover of nature and animals and life
A really gentle man.I truly wish I had the pleasure of meeting him.Thanks for the memories Ben.
Ben?
Or Dan?
Or both?
What a wonderful television show I remember it well it's a shame they don't have stuff like this on television today
Nothing but garbage on tv, loved the 70's
"Ben" is buried at Olympic Games Farm in Washington State...i have been there,its awesome.
I was so in love with him , I was 11. Beautiful show.
Loved Grizzly Adams; the show, the theme song, the bear, No.7, Mad Jack, Nokoma, and especially the handsome, masculine Dan Haggerty!
met dan at hollywood show shortly before he passed. Nice guy.
I watched this as a kid and really loved the show. So peaceful and calming. Made you feel better.
Such an amazing time being a child when The Life And Times Of Grizzly Adams came out. I went to see it at five years old and it has stayed in my heart ever since. Such a beautiful story/man and movie as well as a TV show. Takes me back to an innocent time of nothing buy happy memories. Thanks to all who were involved. Love to you all!
I was born near lake Tahoe, California in the forest so I was able to relate to Grizzly Adams because it very much was how life was for me on that mountain, now the world has closed in and there is no wide open spaces anymore, it's very heart breaking!
In any case, RIP Mr. Haggerty!!
What an Awesome interview And one Gracious Great Man !! God Bless you Dan Haggerty, I remember the show well. I watched it weekly as a kid. 🙂👍 Hollywood doesn't know anything about. " family shows " anymore.
I am watching grizzly adams reruns on youtube right now every day.one of the best shows theyve ever done.
Me too, it's as good now as it was when I was a kid
I watch it every Saturday and Sunday morning on Get TV
RIP Dan Haggerty you was a real true gentleman loved you
I watched Grizzly Adams for the first time today. I absolutely love it. It had great morals and values.
I was just watching Grizzly Adams last night. I have very few good memories as a child, less than 10 in fact..But, Grizzly Adams was my best and favorite!!!
I grew up watching this guy too, great memories!
I was watching Grizzly Adams in Poland in late 70's. It was so fascinating and so much fun. Good times
There were very few shows I watched on a regular basis back in the '70s, but Grizzly Adams was one of them. Once I heard the song playing I dropped whatever I was doing and it was TV time.
All my grams and mom let me watch too. But maybe it was my love for it that allowed this show to be played. It was innocent and safe, unlike today.
Grizzly Adams aka Dan Haggerty along with Ben the Bear was a wonderful beautiful series. 8/28/16
His show was my first favorite when I was a little first grader. His kind eyes and gentle voice made an impression. A great show.
As a kid in the early 70's TV was not directed towards young viewers. Disney and Grizzy Adams was something to look forward to. Saturday morning's was different. Thanks for the memories. 👍
great family entertainment..... I own the DVD set... I am 52 takes me back to my childhood..
i loved Grizzly Adams growing up, i wanted to be just like him! the song was great.
God bless you, Dan Haggerty. Thank you for the wonderful movies /stories. They shaped my childhood. They still let me believe in the positive of every living being 🙏🕯️🌟❤️
Loved this show as a kid. I think the magic was in the fact that things were so bad in the 70s that we all wanted to just chuck it all into the bin and walk away. And for a kid, it looked like paradise. Looking back, I wish we had just walked away.
We watched here in Ireland as well during the late 70s when we were kids.
I live in the wicklow mountains and when I was little I watched it too, I thought that I lived in the same mountains
@@teddymacfeddy2256 Awe, it's always 👍, ya know?
RIP Mr Haggerty. My love for the mountains and everything nature started with you. thank you sir.
this guy...patrick swayze....michale landon an glen cambell.......just 4 great really nice guys! wish they all were still with us......
Still enjoying watching Grizzly Adam's after all these years! watching is right now. RIP and thank you for the awesome entertainment!
You have to tell me where it's playing, I will subscribe. I'm watching on youtube where and when I can. I need a binge.
They only made 38 shows made. I thought there were a lot more. but no matter, each one is VERY SPECIAL. I loved that show and will always love it. So Great. I love how he often refers to God for being in God's backyard. I'm Christian and so was he. He is with the Lord now. God bless everyone watching.
One of my childhood favorites. I had a crush on Grizzly Adams. That was my celebrity love. Lol. The show was so wholesome, and adventurous. I loved it.
Dan Haggerty has the ability to make 13 minutes feel like an eternity... RIP
He was a very nice man, I met him in person in 98, RIP Dan
I absolutely love this show. Watched it all the time as kids.
Love this show and am still watching as episodes are on TH-cam wish this was on proper dvd release grew up watching Dan just brilliant as grizzly adams
The life and times of Grizzly Adams, one of my favourite shows as a kid. Such a great feel good programme.
I wish this man was still a part of our Earth. I miss him and LOVED Grizzly Adams.
They don’t write em like that anymore. And it’s sad. What a great show and great guy.
You can tell he really enjoyed that time of his life, as I really enjoyed that show and this interview....R.I.P man thank you for those wonderful memories
We remember and this was a show that taught such good things. Good shows are no longer around like this.
ONE OF THE GREATEST SHOWS EVER!!!!❤️❤️😁✝️
Just wanted to say "Thank You" for this show and the memories surrounding Grizzly Adams,Gentle Ben,Uncle Jesse(Mad Jack),etc.......I`m actually surprised that the "powers that be"in media-world haven`t tried to remake and destroy this one yet........
If they ever do decide to do a remake they should use Peg (daughter). she returns to live in the wilderness. That's the only way it will work i think. 🙂
My cousin met Dan at a seafood restaurant in Denver at some point in the 80s. He was very kind and recommended the fried flounder.
Yep, it was a good show. I just ordered the full series on DVD.
What a delightful man. Thanks Dan Haggerty, you were an amazing and humble fellow.
I just loved every moment of that TV show, it was the best and very well done, lovely mountains and woods
was a great show , sad to see another star from my childhood pass RIP Dan
i loved grizzly adams,good family show that makes you appreciate nature
Thanks to you, dear sir I am today exactly where I wanted to be since I was a little girl. I was writing songs about you, about that amazing life in the nature, and the show felt like home to me.
Wish I could have met you in person.
Now I have my own Joshua (the Racoon) coming to eat on my porch and all the animals and people are amazing around me. God bless you and God bless my home and America! This is where my heart finally found its peace. Thank you from the bottom of my ❤️!
He was a big influence on me too. Do you still have the songs you wrote about him? What state do you live in?
Rip in peace grizzly Adams. You were a friend of all animals. Loved your series ❤
Dan and I were Friends..We rode our Bikes together with a few other friends when I lived in Orlando,Fl.. Super Nice guy..always Smilin!! He ALWAYS insisted on payin for the Beers! Gonna miss him Dearly..!
Rest in Peace Mr. Haggerty. I watched your show as a child and loved it. It seems the times when a family could sit down together and watch a wonderful show together are long gone. You will be missed .
