@@philipstanco6011 I think he’s been shocked the most because he’s the most aggressive of the three brothers I think half of only been shot about two times, and Adam about the same
There are so many terrific scenes between the three brothers in these early episodes. And the rapport between Hoss and Little Joe is magical. And then add Adam to the mix and you have an acting bonanza 😉
my coworker used to watch this show , what gets me is that even a rerun episode he used to watch it like it was the first time he was watching it , he got me on the program of watching western , we had cable at the workshop , and he has passed away , god bless his soul.
How young they all were in this early show: Ben, as always, offers the strange wisdom that sometimes clouds love's true view (or a man's for that matter). Little Joe looked truly not more than 21 or 22, all were thinner, leaner, and even Hoss's hat style had yet to come to the one we know. The episode showed how much promise the show had for a long future. Thanks, Grjingo!
Back when the Cartwrights used better looking weapons and when they wore different clothes. I miss Little Joe's blue jacket with black hat it was alot better than the default outfit he stuck with after Season 3.
@@slee706 In the first season he's supposed to be 17 even though ML was older than that of course. Also, I think the sneaking out was supposed to show a level of class that they weren't normally off to a nudie show! (Which is what Hoss thought he was going to.)
Ben Cartwright, there are as many kinds of love as there are women, wow serious wisdom, for a sitcom in the day's bigone. Thank you for these wonderful episodes of old school westerns. And the love of family, a father, and his three vivacious son are all from different beautiful mothers.
Bonanza was more western than Sitcom Particularly that Episode! Trust me I'm 69 years old, I was only 6 when it came out in 1959 , I've seen Em all many times and still Love the ones with Pernell Robert's and Dan Blocker !.
While I think the later seasons got a little silly as they ran out of ideas (there were still several great episodes) these early episodes were pure magic. Great writing, awesome characters, and surprisingly complex plots! This was a one of a kind show that can't be redone or replaced. Also lucky Adah! She got to kiss Adam Cartwrite!!!!!!! He was my first tv crush and he's still so handsome.
Mine too, and I was kind of too young to think on those things then. Also Steve McQueen was boyish in expressions and easier to relate to at that age. I watched Have Gun will Travel, but never understood it so started watching episodes this year. Funny, Mikey Dolenz of the Monkeys was Circus Boy back then, and my older sis would drop me in front of that one...but I always liked the westerns for some reason. Whole families gathered to watch Bonanza in those days.
at 23:45 that is the kind of respect sons and (daughters) had for their parents back then, now there is very little respect for parents, that is one of the reasons the family is the way it is now ( disunited)
Very good early episode reflecting the unity of the Cartwright males in the face of a desirable member of the opposite gender, played with considerable verve by the curvaceous Rosalind Russell. Unmissable, Thanks for sharing!
Its easy to see why generations luuuv this show....my Mom, my son, and I watch together. All the tech now and they still can't match the heart felt chemistry of these early shows.
He's a professional fighter, which makes his hands lethal weapons. He don't need to be jailed, he ought to be maimed for taking advantage of common citizens.
The old west? No such thing as his hands are lethal weapons. It wasn't even a concept it those days. It was a way of life, you stand up for yourself, physically fight if you have to, maybe have a beer after. You're either friends, enemies or dead. Either way, the hard life goes on.
Serving lobster is anachronistic. It was still considered peasant food in the 1860s. It started to become more mainstream in the 1880s. It didn't become a delicacy until WWII, rich people ate it because it wasn't rationed.
Don't hang him boys. I love all these episodes. Do anyone know who the guy is they were joking with? Isn't that Otis Campbell, the drunk, that played on Andy Griffin Show aka Mayberry. He made me laugh when he ran away 😅😊😅.
Ada came in to soon behind a heartless old man beating a kid dang near to death and if I were ada I'da kicked him, for sure love would haved died he would not be a man by my eyes at all beating lil Joe like that the beast got off easy joe almost lost his eye sight and she was just as bad as the creep her compassion went all out for the man no sorrow for Lil Joe or Ben or Hoss
@@CathyKitson Of course she knew about him. Why else did she come running over to the saloon to make sure Ben didn't kill her poor little prize fighter that nearly blinds and kills innocent young boys half his size and age. She and him were perfect for each other. Two total low life scumbags completely self absorbed and focused on nothing but themselves.
Was the possibility of being hurt and knowing where everyone was going...and early early 4am hard work...and even into about 5 decades back it could be " my house my rules."
It was a different time. Sadly, people can not see it in the lens of the 1800s. They only see things the way they are now. That is very sad! The world greatly changed after 1914.
People are talking about how she was a fool to go back to her ex-husband, which, yeah, she was, but you have to admit that if she married Ben, it would be a pretty weird dynamic. I mean, having at least one of your new step-sons in love with you is pretty awkward.
You're absolutely correct! This heartless cruelty and bullying by the Cartwright clan is seen often enough throughout the series' run to give pause to any accolades of goodness to this family
@@GathKingLeppbertI No, the Cartwright Brothers were not cruel.....except in the opening to this episode when they were pretending to hang OTIS of all people! That was a bad thing to write in the script.
In real life Adah Menken was only 33 when she died in 1868. She was married several times and one of her husbands was the fighter John C. Heenan. She was best known for the hippodrama Mazeppa. For dying so young she lived a very extraordinary life as not only an actress (the highest earning of her time) but a poet and a painter. She also appeared on stage with Edwin Booth, John Wilkes Booth’s brother.
Adam: "I just don't understand how can she?" Ben: "Shes a woman in love" The more accurate re-write: Adam:"I just don't understand how can she?" Ben: "It's the cycle of abuse"

After this, Derwood moved to Mayberry and then changed his name to Otis and became the town drunk. I must admit, much like the moonshine he made, he aged quite well.
He,s already had 3 wives on this show. That's why Adam, Hoss, and Little Joe are only half-brothers. There's been flashback episodes concerning each of Ben's 3 wives.
I know, it makes no sense at all. And Ben was even standing there with a big smile making excuses for why it was perfectly reasonable for Adah to be fawning over the big bully brute Regan after he nearly blinded and killed Little Joe. Completely ridiculous. Whoever wrote this story was an idiot.
does that woman deserve anyone to help her?..she lets the guy beat her...lets him beat others...she is guilty of knowing he does that...she stands by him....the point is any PERSON or animal that is being abused deserves help.....but NOT women like this one who encourages it....that must be made obvious

Right. If he can say "Pa" four times he can say yes or no once.
