It is so cool to see the Pilot episodes of Bonanza! There are a lot of details about the Cartwright's that the later episodes don't give. I watch Ponderosa episodes most nights. Thank you very much for posting this!
This is supposed to be a precurcer to Bonanza. I never understood how they went from the horse whisper to riding horses to break them.🤭 Also in the episode of Bonanza where Eric/Hoss was born they started calling him Hoss, not as a teenager. I also don't understand how little Joe's mother would be there either, I believe she's supposed to have died when little Joe was just a baby.
This is not true to the original. Marie died in an accident with her horse in front of the ranch. So if they want to start a new series and go in an entirely different direction that is totally their right.
Thanks for taking the time to post these videos, its nice to see these forgotten jems and I never knew this show existed but it has to many inconsistencies to what we know to be canon in the original, for instance Little Joe never knew his mother and she never gave him that nickname and Hoss got his nickname as he was big even as a baby and it was his uncle's nickname as well.
Canon? That's for star wars, star trek and other dork's shows. People who like Bonanza don't use those terms and just want to enjoy a remake if it's any good.
The "pilot" episodes never match up perfectly with the official episodes. A pilot is like an audition for a show to see if it will become a regular show on TV. To see if people will watch it.
Hoss's mother was told to call him "Hoss" when she was pregnant -- her brother from (was it Sweden?) suggested it because it was a name for a big man with a kind face. Can't recall exactly, but I think the mother was very large in pregnancy
2022 November 11th. Ok, this respons might just make me end up all the way below or deleted😄... I honestly thought that this was the pilot of "Bonanza", way back when... But already from the beginning it looked different. While watching, it took me a while before realising that this was an attempt to start with the concept of "Bonanza" all over again. And, with all due respect, there's only one "Bonanza"-concept for me !! Just as there's only one "little house in the prairie"-concept for me. So, wishing others their enjoyment with this version -> I'll be found watching the authentic "Bonanza" from the beginning again 🎯💯 Sincerely,
New discovery and looks good but clearly didn't get enough support - not aware ever screened in UK. Saloon owner lady looks like she should say: "What's occurring" at the start.
Yeah right this episodes the worst possible remake of a great show with stupid And a gruesome man that looks like a hunchback lol they remake bonanza you guys ruined everything What a waste of money and they can even get good talent or any talent with any name a little twerp this is the worst I would never recommend this to anybody and hide it please give it to the scrap or get real actors
Thank you so much for posting! Love Daniel Hugh Kelly. You wouldn't happen to have the last two episodes do you? I have never seen those. Thanks again.
Sadly, I couldn't find those episodes anywhere! I managed to grab the DVDs for the first 10 episodes (rare and not easy to find), but I think the other episodes didn't make it to DVD at all which sucks. So glad you enjoyed the episodes! I remember watching this when I was a kid and I'm amazed people still remember it! :)
Me too. I love this show as well as Bonanza!!!!!!! In fact, Ponderosa is almost better than Bonanza, despite the fact that it only has 1 season with only a few handfuls of episodes.
Not even worth watching Try to remake Bananza they really screwed up it’s so sad the waste of money with no talent actors I miss the real Adam , joe, and hoss this It’s far the worst remake app ever seen with no talented actor is not even one bunch of scrap
It's nice to see the legacy of the Ponderosa but nothing takes the place of the OGs....my first love.
My eyes welled up with water when Little Joe said his last goodbyes to his mom 🥺😢😥😓
First time I am watching this episode and I already is living it thanks for sharing

I remember this show from years ago it was great 😊 thanks for sharing this.

No in one of the Bonanza episodes Little Joe said she died when he was five.

Poetic license.
I thought Little Joe was about 5 years old when he lost his mother? If that's true, wouldn't a 5-year-old kid remember their mother?
@@jazmineferguson7711 yes you are correct.

thank you for posting this we enjoyed watching the series. too bad there wasn't a second season
Drew Powell! Fellow Hoosier good to see you in your early work!
Just found this series such a great show Thanks for posting

Eric became Hoss because of his size - it was a nick name used for big men back then. Not because of a horse bite. smh

Passable. But there ain't nothing like the "Real thing"

Best Western
This was on PAX TV when it was on
Wow, this new version of Bonanza Is not a good Idea! I get it this is not Bonanza. It is a B movie!
Agreed, This is going to be a great sequel.

Love all these oldie so
amo essa série

What has this to do with Bonanza? I hear Ben, Hoss, Little joe but see no familiar faces of them....pilot of Bonanza????
Hold on a min ! Reading the comments, several mentioned this pilot is the beginning of a new series! Is that true?
Lame if you compare to the original Bonanza. But let it stand on its own merit and it is just okay
Lake Tahoe, my ass,,,,,
Hell, that doesn't evan pass for fallen Leaf Lake .
It looked more like Union Valley Reservoir 😳
good movie
Man , that doesn't resemble Incline Village at all.

sí la madre de Joe su supone que murió cuando él tenía 5 años quien es la mujer? es que no se ingles, alguien me lo puede explicar?
There were many inconsistencies in this pilot compared to the series but we love it just the same ! ❤
Not even worth watching Try to remake Bananza they really screwed up it’s so sad the waste of money with no talent actors I miss the real Adam , joe, and hoss this It’s far the worst remake app ever seen with no talented actor is not even one bunch of scrap
Pretty farby.
Hate to say WOKE but there it is
Very poor acting, lackluster writing and failed execution. This remake of one of the greatest series ever on TV is a travesty!
