Hey... I loved ur video. When I was a kid growing up I had a big appetite. Ate pretty much all the time. At that time my father and older brother nicknamed me “Hoss”. Some of my friends and family still call me that! Very proud and honored to have that nickname. God Bless!!
One of the greatest actor!!!! and a great soul I love this actor. like I knew him I am 31 years of age and I wasn't around when the show was on but I later learned about it and I enjoyed so much. 🙏🙏👍
Another excellent episode, Barbo! Many thanks for the interesting info. Dan Blocker was truly a unique treasure. Thanks for contributing more than a little bit to his well-deserved immortality.
Neato! What are your sister's recollections? Was he a good teacher? Regular for the whole semester or just a substitute teacher? What year/semester was this? 1956?
@@jamesngetha6760 She remembered him as a fun teacher to learn from. Sadly she succumbed to the dreaded "Plague" last August & I can't ask her for anymore info. We moved away from California in 1966 so it would've been prior to that. I think she would've been in Jr high at the time.
@@cathyrowe594, so sorry to hear the sad news about your sister. To the best of my knowledge Dan quit teaching after his acting career took off (almost certainly by 1958, when he was employed regularly in the TV series, "Cimarron City"). He may have continued to sub. as late as 1957 but your sister most probably had him as an English teacher in the 1955, '56 or '57 terms. As I recall Dan was a guest on The Tonight Show in the early 60s & mentioned that before becoming a full-time actor, he'd taught English. Fellow guest, comedian Henry Morgan, didn't miss a beat & asked, "In which country?" Dan grinned.
Wow! Don't take this the wrong way, but I think you're the first one to admit publicly to "love the ballerina" episode. May I ask, what was it about that episode that you loved?
I remember seeing Lorne Green wearing a black patch on his eye in one of the episodes, can't recall which one but he actually did have some type of eye problem in real life, I remember reading somewhere about how it happened but just can't recall where so yeah, Lorne Green definitely did wear a black eye patch on Bonanza for some reason
W0nderful. l l0ved many 0f the same 0nes y0u ldentflfled. Maybe, y0u can discuss the music played 0n the sh0w. The music als0 tells the st0ry. l0ve y0ur w0rk.
I don't understand why someone on here would say that Hoss sold his soul to the devil. Have I missed something???? Someone please respond to me. Thank you.
@@voiceofreason7856 I think you might wish to direct your Voice at Mr. White up there, who has serious doubts about the Dan's political inclinations today based on his previous affiliations.

I love your passion for Bonanza.
So true one of the sweetest nicest man you would ever come across I love watching Bonanza mainly because of him.
Dan also taught school in Glendale, California. He taught my sister's English class.

Rip Dan! He seemed super Sweet!
The best moments on TV are Bonanza. I love the ballerina episode. And the one where the early rock singer sings Dead and Gone.

When he played football, was Dan a blocker?

Everyone loved "Hoss" Cartwright.
Just because no one else has noticed,lol. Its Ponderosa not Ponderoas. good show and info.
Thanks for catching that.
Hoss was one of my faviort
Have you seen the show called Ponderosa?
Yes. I will be doing an episode on that.

I have done several music shows Susan. Check out my Ponderosa North episodes “ In the Pines”, “Dead and Gone” and “ Sweet Betsy From Pike”.
@@barbo6078 Thank you

Probably a troll - ignore them.
Sold his "sole." Either the bottom of his shoe or a fish. Not to worry.
A democrat back then was a Republican today. I doubt very seriously the Dan would be a Democrat today
I doubt very seriously you can presume what Dan Blocker's political affiliation would be today. And I'll add, it don't matter!.
@@jamesngetha6760 He was a Democrat - I've seen him in an interview talking about politics.

so he was such a nice guy...then he sold his sole to the devil...
Engrish, les1? How much he get for that sole, anyways? Fried, baked? Shoe leathered?
