- Free Western Classic: Bonanza - Episode 158 - No Less a Man - Certain that he is too old to stand against a notorious gang of bank robbers when news arrives that Virginia City will soon be next in a long string of successful raids, the terrified townsfolk demand Sheriff Coffee's resignation to make way for a younger lawman.
No Less a Man
Director: Don McDougall
Writer: Jerry Adelman
Stars: Lorne Greene, Pernell Roberts, Dan Blocker
Genre: Western
Country: USA
Language: English
Release Date: 15 March 1964 USA
Filming Locations: Stage 17, Paramount Studios - 5555 Melrose Avenue, Hollywood, Los Angeles, California, USA
Storyline:
In anticipation of a raid by the deadly Wagner outlaw gang, the townsfolk of Virginia City want to replace their ageing sheriff Roy Coffee, whom they feel is not equal to the task of standing up to the Wagners. Adam Cartwright is among the few who insists that Coffee remain in office-but even he has second thoughts when the Sheriff appears to be suffering from a latent case of cowardice. Written by Jerry Adelman, this episode was a tour de force for veteran character actor Ray Teal, here given a rare opportunity to deliver a performance that transcends the standard two-dimensionality of Sheriff Roy Coffee. Written on rottentomatoes.com
Reviews:
"Ray Teal who was for so many years a semi-regular on Bonanza as sheriff Roy Coffee he was like a piece of furniture from the Ponderosa house gets center stage in this episode.
Some folks on the Virginia City Town Council think that Teal has seen his best days especially since he was wounded dealing with a drunk. Also the notorious Wagner gang is in the area robbing banks and spreading a lot of mayhem. Some citizens wonder if Teal can still cut it.
Pernell Roberts who is on the town council offers to help Teal out. For the only time in Bonanza's run, Sheriff Coffee opens up about himself. We learn he's a widower with no children and he looks on the citizens of Virginia City as kind of his children. The job is his life.
All I'll say is that in the end it's proved the man still has what it takes to get the job done.
Nice to see Ray Teal get center stage in an episode." Written by bkoganbing on IMDb.com

It's sad that they don't make shows like this anymore. Such great story lines and lessons to be learned about honor, responsibility, wisdom and character. Grit and wisdom are things that only come through age and experience and are every bit as important as strength and speed. Sadly, the West doesn't value their elders as much as they should and we lose out on the benefit of their wisdom. Roy Coffee will always be the Sheriff of Virginia City as far as I am concerned!
Ray Teal made bonanza even better as Sheriff Roy Coffee. This was one of my favorite episodes. Makes you think, that when people get older, they are not useless.
Red L ;...
I, so much agree with you on this to, the plan, of action, acted out, was really well planned,... for the best out me.
useless?
of course not....but no longer capable of what they once were...its a fine line before it becomes obvious.....and not an easy one to cross for true friends,,,,,
Thankyou, &...For sure Red L.😃
Ta, for that.
@@jadezee6316 age will happen inevitably to all
of us, fortunate enough to live long enough. We should treat the older people as we would want to be treated, when we are their age.
I always thought that the Cartwrights treated Roy Coffee with respect for his experience and wisdom. This episode proves that. It's about time Roy Coffee got an episode. As always, Bonanza had something to say and said it well.
If there was one person the Cartwrights had the most respect for, it's Roy
Ray teal great character actor
"It takes more than a fast gun to be a sheriff." "Yeah, a man." Great episode, one of my favorites!
Bonanza... My favorite pass time. I watch at least three episodes a day. 🤓💜🤓🤠🤠🤠
The Cartwrights came to thr rescue again helping the Sherriff with Wagner Gang capturing them and No one getting hurt in Virginia City. Roy Coffee is the Hero 🎉😊no doubt.❤🎉😊
Nothing compares. One of the best stories ever written and I am glad to see this historical TV show well preserved
This episode was brilliant episode and brought a little tear to my eye at the end. Sheriff Roy will always be my favorite Sheriff.
Was just about to say the same. Roy is the best.
Most of Sheriff Coffee's takes were badly written, and I never warmed to his character. This episode is so well written, Roy's character is so sympathetically portrayed. Support your local sheriff. "A lot of the old time Sheriff's never even wore a gun. a lot of people find that hard to believe" Cormac McCarthy, No Country for Old Men
Toss up between him and Sheriff Taylor
@@snsn7251 Andy is my fav
Mine too!
A brilliant tribute to the wisdom of maturity, and to the putting down of being old equals being less than fully able. Surely this is one of the really great episodes, and certainly a tribute to Roy Teal's long run with the show. He was the best of all the sheriffs after him. And Pernell always adds luster to any episode.

@Joe Owens. That's well said Joe! For the City Council, except Ben and Adam, to want to fire Sheriff Coffee because they thought that he was too old was completely unfair! Sheriff Coffee had so much experience dealing with criminals that he knew all of their tricks and he had his own tricks whereas a young rookie would not have. I liked Adam's cool head and Ben's logic. Pernell Roberts and Ray Teal were excellent. I LOVED SHERIFF COFFEE'S PLAN TO TRAP THE ROBBERS!! That was awesome!! 😄. That was a great ending.
With Maturity comes Wisdom ~ Well done Sheriff Roy Coffee.. You're a 'Legend' !!
Superb episode -- there are many on Bonanza but this one lets Sheriff Coffee and the wisdom of age shine. You'll enjoy it !
It's always nice to see the Cartwright Family working together.
There's one thing. It only gets better and better.
"BONANZA"
Fantastic episode! Hooray for Sheriff Cofey!!
Mr. Teal was a great Character actor.perfect for this show.
This episode tops the Best of Bonanza.🙂
Great ending! Intellect at its finest! Thanks Sheriff Coffee :)
I love these guys! I have a confession, I have the biggest crush on hoss 🙊 I'm a 35 year old woman and born in the wrong time era.. I wish it was still like this. Although I do live like old times in a way. We have a farm here in Tennessee, grow and can our own foods and raise our own meat. Have 3 son's (18,14,9) and very well behaved. I'm confident in knowing when the economy collapses, they will be able to live off the land. Also, have a blacksmith shop (mainly the boys and their dad), I crochet, make baskets, sew etc., Been doing pottery with my youngest (John) lately. Anyways.. I really love and enjoy living off the land.
Thats sounds awesome! Happy to hear you enjoyed the episode! 🤠👌🎬🍿
They don't come any better than Hoss.
@@misslucky5474 hoss was scared of cootie cat. He liked animals
Went to my aunt's farm when I was young. So happy to get back to Brooklyn. Kudos to you and your family for your independence. Happy 4th of July.
You are obviously a good woman if you have a crush on hoss , he may not be the best looking but he has a heart as big as himself. It’s nice to see a lot of people still hold good family traditions, i also feel I live in the wrong era but at least we have bonanza and the carthwrights to remind us of how life should be . Good luck with your farm and family ☘️
A wonderful episode. Ray Teal is fabulous, and Pernell also of course, but all the cast is good in this episode.
Ray Teal appeared in 99 episodes of Bonanza. His character always followed the rule of law. This episode is a tour de force.
Thanks for watching! We also recommend this movie: th-cam.com/video/PhBOMjoBB40/w-d-xo.html
This is a very good movie, no killing at all, respect Roy Cafe
That's Roy Coffey thank you.
thats roy latte to you
Roy Cappuccino
I am a kind of person that i don't watch tv or movies. But Bonanza i can't stop watching since i was a kid. Classic and will remain forever.
Absolutely superb episode and one of my top 10 Bonanza shows of all time. Ray Teal proved that with a good script he could act the pants off the rest of the cast. Pernell and Lorne both gave another fine performance, one of integrity and wisdom. The supporting cast was also spot on. Well acted, scripted and directed. Certainly one of Bonanza's finest hours. Many thanks for airing it!
That tough smart Sheriff Coffee.
Ahh, I can really appreciate a well-laid trap. And an understanding that violence causes more problems than it solves... Most of the time. Sheriff Coffee makes me happy every time he shows up. 10/10 would elect again.
This one reminds me of my family's streak of naming guinea pigs after Bonanza characters. We had Hop Sing, Little Joe, and Coffee. Coffee was a kind and patient cavy, Little Joe was precocious and always after the sows, and Hop Sing was by far the best guinea pig in the world. So, pretty aptly named for all three.
This is a fabulous episode. Thank you. Mr. Ray Teal was always my favorite law man over there in Virginia city. Others came but Roy Coffee was the ONE for the folks over there. This episode is a great lesson.
Madeline Ray ;...forsure,...actor, Roy Coffey, was the best sheriff of Bonanza.
I loved how Sheriff Coffee explained that the town was his family and in every family there is a troublesome person but still family.
Reallllllly one of my absolute favorites next to Adam's The Ride! Really amaZZZZZing life lessons! Thank you for this wonderful channel!
This show is still the greatest.
And will be the greatest FOREVER!!!!
Fantastic. Totally love Ray Teal as Sheriff.
😂😂😂😂😂 "What do you mean bussines gets no protection from the law", and then Browning saw the cuffs. That part had me in stitches.
I could tell he had something up his sleeve. Fun episode!
I Wish Every 12 Year Old Boy Today would watch this episode. How Much our youngens could learn
Beware an old man in a occupation where men usually die young.
And Roy didn't get to be old from being stupid and reckless. He got that way from staying alive
Bonanza became a classical TV shows in all time ... I love so much
I watched Bonanza with my family growing up. Every Sunday Night was Lawrence Welk and Bonanza! I was hooked on music and the wild westerns on TV. This show should be forever seen because it is simply the truth of life and how one strings it!
Roberts was the star of Trapper John, MD...another hit series.
SOOOOO UNBELIEVABLY, INCREDIBLY, EXTREMELY AWESOME EPISODE. AWESOME LESSON WE LEARN WITH EVER EPISODE. ❤❤❤❤❤
Great episode! It was a little surprising to see Ray Teal as the special guest star considering he's been the sheriff on the show for quite awhile.
U said it Tom! Experience! ty. "Youth is wasted on the young."
@@thomaspiccirillo6820 ,you have one of my favorite interviews on your playlist. James Lipton interviewing Peter Falk. I haven't watched it in years, I'm going to watch it tonight,thanks.
@@tomcloss9764 Big T enjoy! Thank you you're a gentleman! Godspeed stay healthy!
Tom Closs ;...
I, agree, totally, 100%.
@@angeladay9073 , I found an episode where Hop Sing was the special guest star called,The Lonely Man. Good episode!😊.
Son of a gun. Wonderful episode of when experience beats expectation
A great display of mind over matter
When u don’t mind, it doesn’t matter.
Wisdom over brawn always works best. Great episode loved that Roy always knew exactly what he was doing. And loved the fact that all the Cartwright's stood by his side, and helped him through the whole shenanigans.

Gotta love Bonanza. I don't think there are any moral TV shows left, and TV is such an influential form of media. Shows like Bonanza and Little House On The Prairie need to make a comeback. If you follow Jesus, you probably think the same. The eyes are the windows to the soul.
Love this show then and now.!!
Sherriff coffee was the best Bonanza sherriff period.....
I imagine a lot of us viewers, maybe especially those of us, like me, who are getting older, will look at Sheriff Coffee differently. I really liked how the reason for those iron bars Roy and Adam were attaching to all the windows in the bank was made clear to the townspeople. I am so glad members of the town council let Roy know how wrong they'd been and were glad he was still sheriff of Virginia City. It takes men to be willing to do that.
Another great episode. I had Coffey's plan figured out as soon as I saw them putting bars on the windows.
Possibly the Very best Bonanza programme ever. I think I’ve seen most too. Lots we need to learn from it even today in 2024
This is one of my favorite episodes.
One of the GREATEST episodes!
Watched it at least a dozen times..

Wow! What an episode. It was beautifully written and directed. I loved the interactions between Adam and the sheriff. It reminded me of a really great heist movie, without the sophisticated plot, of course. This is my favorite episode of the whole series. Thank you so much for this gift, Grjngo-Western Series.
Thank you so much!
Are you kidding, it was dumb as hell, first the innocent guy in the safe would starve too, second all the bandits wouldn't go in the bank, there would be a look out, third, how did Roy know they threw all their guns outs.
Thank you for an episode featuring Roy Coffee enjoyed it tremendously!
Still love watching bonzana on TH-cam grew up with Cartwright boys mom and dad's favorite show
Darn good episode one of the best of it's kind that came along ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲

Excellent episode. Beautiful.
Roy Coffee can't be replaced!!❤😊
just think how strong our nation could be if we learned this lesson from this wonderful bonanza so many lessons can be learned
Oh WOW, simply fantastic! What an old fox! Kudos. 👍👌👏 I'm currently watching all Bonanza episodes and this one I like the most until now. Brilliant script. Great acting. Thanks a lot for uploading and sharing this old series.
Best regards, luck and health.
That was great. Brilliant way to prove a point showcase Roy's experience.
That was a wonderful ending!
My favorite episode.

This episod along with twilight town and the one when Joe was obsessed with the detective novels are my favorite.
enjoy all these shows, its nice to see all the different actors that have played on these other different programs
Hoss is THE man. He is my absolute favorite!!! ❤
What an episode!
This episode had a darned good moral.
My all time favorite episode. Brilliantly done.
They should put the principles of Bonanza to our problems - open borders, lenient crime etc.
I see way too many haters always dissing Roy coffee. Idk if it's because people are jealous, or police haters or what but imo America would be a whole lot better off if we had more Roy coffees
Binge watching these outstanding episodes❤
Love how Adam says “Hop to it sonny” to Joe typical older brother remark. I thought Joe was quite restrained.😂😂
One of my favorite episodes
Love this episode!
Thanks for the nice quality of the film! and also, it happens to be my favorite episode.
Leprachaun is the best
I loved it, I have probably seen this rerun most likely bc I have seen them over & over again. Lol, but I don't remember enjoying it this much. Didn't know Roy's, plan until the end, the banker must have trusted his faith in Roy, with his life he was quick. The council member about his young wife was hilarious, everyone was tired hearing it even me.
Love it 12-26-2021❤Love the Cartwright family
One of my favorite episodes. Thanks for the upload.
Glad you enjoyed it, thank you for tuning in! 🤠👌🎬🍿
Absolutely fantastic episode that highlights our favorite and beloved Sheriff! Folks raise your cappuccinos to Roy Coffee!!!
P.S. This episode should’ve been a successful pilot to a spin-off ..
Terrific script! Great story!
Well everyone! You said it all any thing that i had would be repeating in my own way what you all have stated. But I will repeat if. I may that these episodes can mirror real life. Most of the episodes were that way they taught us the viewer how act and live in the desperate of times and understand the teaches lessons to us all!!!
The way they treat the police today too. But thank God they never give up.
👍👍👍
Sure but it’s not like they don’t have some of that coming to them. Ok most cops aren’t abusive racist and violent. I bet that much is true. But it’s not about the cops who don’t commit those atrocities. And I guess it sorta is. When the cops who don’t commit atrocities stick their necks out for the ones who do and lean into the microphone to say they would’ve done the same thing. That’s a huge fucking problem. Even the decent ones seem to have this “us cops have to stick together” mentality that’s completely inappropriate in the defense of a cop who murdered someone cause they had some flimsy excuse and the dude was a different color than them. You have to pick your battles a lot better than that. And show cops are no more above the law then anyone else. A badge is not a license to kill a black man. Police departments nationwide need to reach out to the communities and let them know that they’re not taking the side of any police officer who does that shit. You can be “innocent till proven guilty” if you want. That’s fine. But you’re not going to sit there and pretend it didn’t happen. And you’re not going to jump up in their defense either. What about a message of support and empathy for the victims of police brutality and openly admitting it exists? Is that really asking so much? All we’re asking for is for them to have the common decency to own up to their own departmental failures and show that they’re committed to preventing those incidents from happening in the first place by getting their officers better trained to handle situations non violently and getting them involved in the community more as a positive presence. And for police officers across the board to treat every man regardless of the color of their skin with respect and as an equal

A Lotttt of Nice Endings in these Bonanza episodes!… Compliments to the Writer.
Fantastic episode. This episode is all about bank robbery. Adam Cartwrite played the lead role in this episode. Robbers who wanted to rob the bank were get punished at the end. Good storyline. Happy ending.❤❤❤😊😊
Great episode
Riveting episode...great writing... including the title.
The best idea I've ever seen. Have to watch it again and again!
Great episode....Thank you for posting this.💗💕

That was pretty cool the way that the bank manager got himself out of the bank vault.
Wow I'm glad I got to watch this episode!! From Laredo,Texas
Sly fella, had that trapping trick up his sleave; brains, pure brains! Don't worry, folks, I've got it all under control. 😎
Yep! Most family members have their problems and you have to make sure they mind no matter how old they are so they can grow up and learn something!
Tear, Tear...... Heartwarming!
Thanks for uploading this episode
This was a great episode!
Happy to hear you like it
This movie was kinda a stretch and not very believed but it’s a good lesson in trusting in the wisdom of older people. I love the lessons that this series teaches us. Ben and Hoss are my favorite characters. I liked Little Joe until he got older and I realized in life what a frivolous man he turned out to be and certainly not a man who I could look up to.
wisdom over age always wins
As the sayin goes ..."with age comes wisdom"...
Except if you’re joe biden
Yes but not for everyone I know a handful myself
@@bill-ih7kc Lol. I agree.
