Life Lessons with Bonanza: Learning Respect

In "The Trouble with Jamie", Ben's cousin Matthew visits the Ponderosa, along with his ward Elizabeth and his son Jamie. Jamie is a spoiled and arrogant brat who constantly insults both his father and the Cartwrights. When Matthew decides to leave Jamie with the Cartwrights while he and Elizabeth visit San Francisco, Ben has his work cut out for him in teaching the young man a lesson in respect.

This world needs more dad's like Ben Cartwright learn how to work and do chores show respect

[@sandrasanders706]

When Ben grabbed his arm..Ben is like: "Boy, d ont make me get up from this table..."lol...love it! Need that today!

[@mikelangford9188]

Jamie didn't learn his lesson after Ben gave him that "Tanning you'll never forget". This scene shows who is the boss of the Ponderosa. Jamie did learn his lesson after doing a lot of manual labor.

[@davidhuff4562]

I was expecting Ben when he grabbed Jamie's wrist to take him out to the barn and tan his rear-end so he wouldn't forget any time soon to be more respectful.

[@Ryooken]

You forgot all of the additional tannings Ben gave him.

The value of hard work.

[@AC-il4tx]

That quiet cold voice of Ben's is the most deadly. Jamie will never win against him since Ben perfected it on three sons.

[@lorettarussell7758]

That talk would make me listen. Jaime should have listened to Ben in the first place that he meant business.

You are very right. Young Micheal was awesome.

[@lorettarussell7758]

I would learn respect very fast after that warning, to that I would say, ok, and yes sir.

Remember he had just gotten a spanking so you bet he'd listen.

Don't mess with Ben Cartwright

[@buicklincoln]

Look at our cities that have problems with young men out of control. Most likely they never had a father in their life to teach them the value of respect, hard work and discipline.

[@marvastewart2955]

Lololololol. THAT WHAT THESE CHILDREN OF TODAY NEEDS.. MAN HOLD.

[@MGTOWPaladin]

And THAT is how a MAN takes care of business!

You aren't the Alpha Male around here boy. Who's in charge on the Ponderosa? *All fingers point to Ben Cartwright*
