    It is 2022 and shows like Bonanza, Gunsmoke, Virginian, and Wagon Train are all before my time but these shows are great and I watch them everyday. Each show provides a lesson in every episode unlike the shows aired today. When they dropped shows that aired values such as family, honesty, trust, and loyalty etc. look at the results. We turn to youtube postings to enjoy great shows instead of mess. Thanks for uploading these magnificent videos! 👏👏👏

      When a handshake and/or a shot of whiskey and someone's word was as good as gold. Simpler times. Not the selfishness of clicks, subs and a social media presence. I know it sounds cliche and hokey but damn it, its true. Times were better when they were simple.

    Bonanza represents the honesty and integrity that is missing from today's prime time programs, with the latter being about explicit behavior to a degree. It's a shame that young people today are being fed this and not the lessons I and my generation learned years ago. Thank you for posting.

    Every story line has a lesson we can all learn from, so was the nature of all Mike was involved in. This is what is called good film, years after it was taken off TV and centuries later it is still significant and generations who didn't live in the time of these actors are now finding the lessons helpful. It makes me realise the meaning of the words you can't keep a good man down. When they discontinued Bonanza I guess they thought that would have been it. Well 🙄 it's 2021 and it still holds the position today as it did 40 years ago. May you all rest in eternal peace, PA, Hoss, Adam and my dearest LIL Joe. ♥️♥️♥️

      I see actors winning awards and there’s no way possible the movie or their acting actually beat another movie or actor. Therefore the awards given is an act of favoritism to place a title in front of their name and get bigger salaries for future movies.

    ...Long time ago I worked for the US Forest Service. The old foresters taught us to never rush things...safety first...they also trained on tool safety and first aid. They said if we felt rushed is when we need to stop, look listen, and take a step back. Later I worked for electric and gas utility industry - I told my colleagues and customers the same I learned from the old foresters. If you feel rushed then take a step back and if needed postpone and reschedule the work. Bonanza always sending great life lessons.

    Gabe was so right when he said to ben sometimes we just have to take things slow to not work yourself to fragile over anything stop to give time and be blessed for being alive!
    Gabe was just telling Ben to take it easy not to rush himself or others on things weather the project was Important or so as I understand why it is!
    Just wish Ben listened to Hoss about the object wooden crane breaking and just did other things another way around and no accident would've happened and felt so heart broken about Gabe!
    But even with modern technology these days can still break and involve and accident still eh!
    As I'm high functioning autistic going through a sad hard life have no job friends or a girlfriend being in compliant argued fought at trying my best to do what I can and accept what comes! Sometimes I stop to think the time of being alive until when later!

    This is a great episode and great story line. One of my favorite "Ben" stories. The only flaw in it was everyone trying to tell him that it (accident) wasn't his fault. Problem is that it WAS! Behind schedule or not Ben should never have used that broken tackle block and when he did he should have made DOUBLY sure no one walked under it for even a split second. It caused his friend's death and he was right to feel guilty. In today's world he would be financially responsible but probably not criminally. But in the end all you can do is what Ben did. He apologized, grieved for his friend greatly, tried to make amends as best he could, paid whatever penalty there was criminally (in this case there was none) and then after a period moved on with life. I'm sure that from that time on he would never put individual safety over meeting a schedule.

    This might have been how my grandmother’s brother died. He moved to British Columbia in about 1915. He was in his twenties when he died. Was logging a common occupation for immigrants there? They used to write letters to each other almost every day. Then his letters suddenly stopped.

      Logging and lumber was always the most important industry in British Columbia, particularly in the 1940s and still is today. I am from Canada so I know. British Columbia--its coastal area share the same forested mountain geography and the same types of trees as coastal Washington state, Oregon, and some of northern California.

      Also, how being encouraged to give in, by sympathy, is oft more hurtful than frank goading.

      We agree, the cheating, corner cutting, old scofflaw was completely responsible for all things and equipment that went wrong. He was responsible for the sneak drinking on the job too. We thought Ben should've faced jail time and stiff fines; loss of the contract would've been in order.

    • @dimidomo7946

      The cheating, corner cutting, loud mouthed foreman was >90% culpable for the death of the older timberman. Cartwright acted with wilful and reckless intent toward the first-degree homicide of the logger. Cartwright to be held 100% liable for a life long annuity for the child and a large lump sum settlement to accommodate the mother. Civil charges toward the Ponderous ranch and each son (heir) shall be pending and not to exceed $3,000,000 per individual. The heirs willfully knew the inherent dangers of working with faulty block and tackle. Subsequently, the timber foreman would be remanded to the NV State Penitentiary for a period of no less than 10 years.

    As it is with all agreements, everyone loves an alpha male, the father[ Ben Cartwright ] teaches his son's, Adam, Hoss, and Joe, this same alpha attitude and when the father show's sign's of challenges this same teachings come back in mysterious fashion's and lift his spirits and revitalize him through anger, understanding and forgiveness. This the blessing's that the older show's bring to the audiences for time immemorial, passing down this incredible and indestructible power, and virtue, in shows like Bonanza.

    It was not an accident. Ben, after being warned, insisted on moving the logs pronto, putting all his crew at risk. Had he waited 1 more hour for the new block, noone would have died. He made a deliberate decision to go forward with the cracked block. It should not have been referenced as an accident.
