Ben's cool, calm demeanor and how he carries himself with so much confidence is somebody I wish I could be more like, but unfortunately, life has beaten me down and driven me into the dumps. Ben and hoss are definitely my two favorite.
The very purpose of characters like Ben is to inspire us all to aspire to be better than we already are. Rise above. The fact that you can even BE inspired, means you are capable of anything.
Having watched re-watched these Bonanza episodes recently, Adam has become my favourite Cartwright. There's something cool and sophisticated about his scenes. It's unfortunate that Pernell Roberts actually hated the show and couldn't leave fast enough. He was awesome as Adam.
My outlook is the same, being a child during it's initial run my favorite was Hoss, but like you, after re-watching the show, Adam was the most complex character on the show, he was definitely a cerebral character, and Pernell Roberts played it just right, which is why he was right in his objections to the scripts, like he would say, it didn't make sense these grown men calling their dad "paw" like a little kid, and not having women in their lives, I've discussed this scenario countless times over the years, after the first season, the producers emasculated them and some episodes were cringe, I've said that Pernell would've been good as Paladin on Have Gun Will Travel
@@adrian72300 I'm pleased to see your comment and agree with every word! In my opinion D Dortort made a big mistake in letting him leave, Pernell approached him on numerous occasions with ideas on how to allow the Adam character to grow but Dortort said " no". Pernell also suggested that Adam marry and work part time as an added part of the show so he could do other things but was told "no". Dortort said when Pernell liked the script he was engaged and no one could match him but when he didn't he just walked through it. Dortort also admitted he was leading man quality but he had to hire 4 so that's why they were rotated in the opening credits. Pernell after trying and getting nowhere just completed his contract and left.
One sin leads to another sin. One good deed leads to another good deed. Greed, Envy, Power, Lying all take a person out of this world. What a powerful episode.
@Adventures Of The Times Greed, envy, power, and lies will only get you bits of solidified plant material with pictures on it known as "money," but all that "money" gets you is more greed, envy, power, and lies.
Only problem was he was a chain smoker. Yes 👍Look'in. But when brains were dished out why he didn't understand "smok'in wasn't GOOD 4 ur health. Also a good actor. Shame when folk die thru there poor life choices..
This one had me going for sure, tough to control the emotion' when one is emotionally involved with the watching of an old flame. There was no visible connection between Adam West and the sheriff trying to steal the Ponderosa, at the same time the common sense behind this scenario is that Virginia City knows the Cartwrights and no one else. I'm talking like a child, ha. Great episode thank you for this channel.
Adam West , the Character who portrayed Frank did a great job when he and Burt Ward was starring in the TV show Batman that featured some phenomenal celebrity guests 💯👍
I was born in the fifties and watched Bonanza every sunday night but i was too young to notice how stupid they portray the women in almost all episodes. They make women look like love sick puppies episode after episode. Every one of the Carthwright have been in jail for killing someone. If it's not one it's another. I will still will watch another 100 episodes but man the writers lack imagination, it's like their thinking is stuck in a loop of some sort. I didn't know Adam knew Jiu-Jitsu.
Have anyone noticed that the women cast on Bonanza wears each others outfits. The dress Jennifer has on Mary Enders wore in The Ride. The dress Lady Beatrice wore in The Last Trophy, Connie McKee wore at the end of the Denver McKee.
It seems Back there, Sheriff were bad at investigating Crimes. A Man kills a Man with a Back Shot, Then write a Man's name & address on a letter, And that makes Him guilty of Murder?! Ridiculous.lol
😮Holy Ponderosa!! Adam Cartwright killed Batman! 😂 Seriously, though, the Cartwrights really were gullible and foolish to travel all the way to Utah with that woman. After all, it really was not their problem; it was hers. The first thing they should have done is go to the sheriff in Virginia City and have him send a telegraph message to that town.
Thousands of people worked just as hard as him but didn't acquire such an obscene amount of wealth. It's also being in the right place at the right time and knowing how to game the system.
Well duh! Not only did he work hard but he was able to put investments into a lot which with the hood Lords blessings and some luck with hard work and bonds of trust with people around him was able to get what he had. Not everyone comes out in top, and others do
It’s amazing how owning a large parcel of land, all from hard work and blood sweat and tears, gets you so much hatred. There is a doctor who lives and owns 3/4 of the land in a small village in Lebanon is the most hated man in the village. Get this, he works the land during the day from sunset to sundown, then he drives down to the valley to open his small medical practice from 7pm to 11 pm. The land has been in his family for over a century. If someone dosent have money to pay for their medical bills he lets it go, yet his family have been hated by other town folk just because they own 2/4 of the land in the village, all from years of working the land, studying to become a doctor yet hated so much.
People who are honest and successful all to often are reviled by those lack ability, disipline and aversion to work. Envy and greed then drives them down to being evil.
Idk how I knew but I knew that Jennifer wouldn't help Ben when the Sheriff locked him up! I didn't trust her from the moment she showed up on the Ponderosa
That actually scared the crap out of me, I was thinking at that moment "how's he gonna get in there, wait till Frank leaves the room, jimmy the window open slowly and sneak in or-" and he comes flying in like Batman or something
One thing that gets me is that the 44 Henry Cartridge was patented in 1860 for the Henry rifle and was used by the military in civil war mainly by the northern troops 1861 to 1865. It was also used in various pistols.The early colt pistols were of the cap and ball variety, I am not sure whether they were chambered for the Henry rimmed ammunition? This inaccuracy must have caused some history buffs to cringe when they watched Bonanza supposedly set in 1860 to 1861 in the early episodes.
@@marypatton1122 I'll admit, Frances made that comment rather unexpectedly, but not without necessity: everyone needs to hear that at some point in their lives. "The question" is, "How do I receive forgiveness for my sins (everything I've done wrong in life) and gain entry into heaven. And the answer to that question is, indeed, "Jesus is the answer!"
I really got myself addicted to this Bonanza episodes. Great stories.

My parents watch this every day and both sing the song together lol.
Sing WHAT song?
@@trwent There are lyrics sung by Lorne Greene
How manny times are you going to play this episode? When it’s not playing it’s being advertised. !!!!!!!!
These are great I remember as a young kid on TV but too young remember any stories. Love westerns thanks for upload.
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for tuning in! 🤠👌🍿🎬
I like them all,I like Adam best,he has a rough good looks.
Batman! Lol! Always fun to see actors in other guest roles.
Adam West was really great looking.
I love every episode of Bonanza! Especially the older seasons.

Ken I absolutely agree.
Adam is my favorite too. It’s too bad he left the show.

Adults and intelligent people like Adam

Michael Landon was so damn good looking. He was a brilliant actor as well.
Especially love him in Little House on the Pairie,
I vote for Pernsell Roberts, looks AND acting!
Michael Landon was good looking too..But I like Adam better!!
Well, that is your opinion.@user-bu3ou5rz4q
Their dresses were so good
Another fantastic episode ooow that Adam sure gets my heart a pounding just love this show do miss them thank you for making my evening sooo enjoyable
I prefer a little Joe myself 😄
When Frank first threatened the town clerk and said the word "citizen," I could have sworn I heard Batman!
I love western show especially bonanza
One sin leads to another sin.
One good deed leads to another good deed.
Greed, Envy, Power, Lying all take a person out of this world.
What a powerful episode.
Ever see the play "MacBeth"?
@@AndrewVelonis I was about to say how Shakespearean the plot turned out.
@Adventures Of The Times Greed, envy, power, and lies will only get you bits of solidified plant material with pictures on it known as "money," but all that "money" gets you is more greed, envy, power, and lies.
Thanks a lot for uploading and sharing this old series.
Best regards luck and health.
Pernell roberts was such a hunk
Michael Landon was such a good looking man
So did Adam...was very handsome man.
@@nimkynasir7814 السلام علیکم اخت

Nice episode.
Thank you
One of the better episodes w/twists and turns.
The Cartwright's meet Batman! 😀
Very first word he spoke and I KNEW it was Batman!
(I wasn't watching just listening) sure got my attention
Adam West , the Character who portrayed Frank did a great job when he and Burt Ward was starring in the TV show Batman that featured some phenomenal celebrity guests 💯👍
when the woman says, "you're hurting my arm" and Adam replies, "I'll break it" ... dude he could break both my arms and I would thank him.
🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Doubt it
My goodness that was quite the implausible plot! Another scheming woman finally goes down after trying to manipulate the Cartwrights.
I was born in the fifties and watched Bonanza every sunday night but i was too young to notice how stupid they portray the women in almost all episodes. They make women look like love sick puppies episode after episode. Every one of the Carthwright have been in jail for killing someone. If it's not one it's another.

@@ronaldbrennan5806 Implausible is putting it very mildly. It's more like completely ridiculous.
Another great episode! Thanks for sharing!
Great Western.
Agreed 💯
7:18, Ben comes home to a big surprise!
Notice that, did you.
I would too if my kids tell me I’m married.
That stuntman work at 39:45 is next level! not even close to Adam West 😆😆😆
That's right; they should have got a stuntman that looks somewhat close to Adam West!
Have anyone noticed that the women cast on Bonanza wears each others outfits. The dress Jennifer has on Mary Enders wore in The Ride. The dress Lady Beatrice wore in The Last Trophy, Connie McKee wore at the end of the Denver McKee.
It certainly takes a woman to notice those things.
That was just good ole David Dortort trying to save a little 💰 !
And they wear the same brown boots. too.
It seems Back there, Sheriff were bad at investigating Crimes. A Man kills a Man with a Back Shot, Then write a Man's name & address on a letter, And that makes Him guilty of Murder?! Ridiculous.lol
Beautiful Ponderosa😊
John mcintire. What a name!
this is the first time I ever saw him play a negative character..
When you think you seen all another good one comes along
Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it 🤠👌🎬🍿
Identity theft is not a Joke Jim 🤣
An amazing idea. Fascinating episode.
Someone should inform her that all of Ben Cartwright's wives die
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
,😄
so she should have married him lol
Adam the best actor
Another great episode
It's Batman!!!! 😂😂
Thanks for uploading this episode
😮Holy Ponderosa!! Adam Cartwright killed Batman! 😂

Adam always the hero.
I’m surprised at the end after the sheriff admitted his guilt the crowd didn’t yell let’s hang em anyway!
Joe will never be as good looking as Adam
They are both eaten by 🐛 s worms
Ben must have worked really hard to acquire the Ponderosa.
No! The studio gave it to him. 3-9-2022
Thousands of people worked just as hard as him but didn't acquire such an obscene amount of wealth. It's also being in the right place at the right time and knowing how to game the system.
But first he had a vision
Well duh! Not only did he work hard but he was able to put investments into a lot which with the hood Lords blessings and some luck with hard work and bonds of trust with people around him was able to get what he had. Not everyone comes out in top, and others do
Looks like Batman to me!!!
It is!!!
The first Ben and Jen
What an episode!!

How did 3/4 become 2/4 ?
In the introduction I loved when Adam parted his lips 💋
Lovely❤❤❤👍 👌👌👌👍✌😍🥰😘😁
@@nimkynasir7814 yes
Love it!!!!
Idk how I knew but I knew that Jennifer wouldn't help Ben when the Sheriff locked him up! I didn't trust her from the moment she showed up on the Ponderosa
Cartwright's always win.❤
Batman!❤
"Other people work hard."
Nice guys
Why is every Law Enforcement officer in the old west that the Cartwrights encounter always corrupt outside The Ponderosa...??
An early case of identity theft. 😂
Miss Jennifer's cheekbones are insanely gorgeous.
I've been noticing that and how perfect her eyebrows are.
Yep
They are falsies.
the bad guy in this episode was adam west, he was the batman
Holy batman!
The only western with very little shooting.
Hi 🙋♀️ this is a very nice 👍🏻
Da da dad da da da da da da, Batman in Color!
Hey Batman, where is the boy wonder?
Is that guy with glasses from Office Space? 'have you seen my stapler? ' :D
SAD now august 2021 all that area on fire..sad..
I think Adam is the best looking
I agree. He is gorgeous.
Yes, his toupe definitely helped him. He wanted to act without it. However, he looked almost as old as Ben according to Dortort. @@nadaprlic22
Is that Batman? 💚💚💚
15:42 batman shot him!
39:45, Adam breaks through the window to go after the man who has set up his pop.
That actually scared the crap out of me, I was thinking at that moment "how's he gonna get in there, wait till Frank leaves the room, jimmy the window open slowly and sneak in or-" and he comes flying in like Batman or something
@Roger McIntyre: amazing that you were able to figure that out! Did you do that all by yourself?
In the movies and on TV shows, people go through glass windows all the time with nary a scratch.
34:05, Adam, Hoss and Little Joe think of a plan to get their father out of jail.
Really? Do tell. If it weren't for you, no one would ever know.
Sheriff was a good actor..Right up to that awful death scene. 😔
How did batman end up in virginia city. haha
Damn even had scammers back then!!
He shot that nice man in the back!
That really made me sick cause I was quite enjoying his friendly banter.
Where’s Robin??????
He has to prove himself innocent... that's sad.
As families decintagrate in America & tje West. We long for family like tje Cartwheels
Pena que não é dublado. Gosto muito desse seriado.
What a great episode from Bonaza, what does Pa Benjamin Cartwright have to say about getting married without consulting the boys?
They will let anyone in a bonanza episode....even BATMAN!
Adam Cartwright got the best of our future Batman.
Trapper John kills Batman! kapow! boom!

Great but I think the rivals got off all too easy ain't it
I didn't know that Batman (Adam West) was ever a bad guy.
He played a bad guy in a lot of westerns
Shooting that guy in the shack in the back was just plain mean!!
Growing up I was to young to appreciate and like the show. Fifty plus years later I am enjoying it.
However I did like Little House on the Prairie.
They have the most beautifull horses i ever seen there episodes always touch the heart using bible scriptures or stories you dont see that today.✝️
It's strange to see Hoss and Joe discussing and drooling over a women who is purporting to be their step mother. A bit sick.
Jesus is the Answer!
So what's the question?
😂🤣😂
Yes he is

34:54, Adam gets slapped.
Ta Da Da Da Da BATMAN!
They had a lot of pretty women acting in the series, sure enough the Cartrights enjoyed some of them you know what I mean.
Surprise ending!
Tipping is as American as Cherry pie a la mode and a cup of coffee
the expression is "apple pie"
Guess I said it too soon. There is shooting in this episode.
