Pernell Roberts does a wonderful job when it comes to handling his horse Sport,, he seems to be quite a handful but then again he could deal with just about anything that he sets his mind to. Love this episode. Pernell and his actual girlfriend doing a magnificent job 👍💯
Yeah. But he made the right decision. He could not be among those people. Adam is a man...a protector of women and children; among other traits as well. He doesn't believe in allowing others to come in and run havoc over his community. Real men protect their community. Adam and Hoss are cut from the same cloth. They don't belong with these people.
Adam is too much of a protector to marry into that group. Those people are overly meek. They will allow anybody to just come in and harm their women and children without even trying to protect. Adam is too big of a man to be a part of such a weak congregation.
p.s. I cannot recall how many persons told me that "Adam Cartright" was their favorite too and disliked it a lot when Pernell Roberts left the series...it is too long here to tell why he left and why he may have stayed. I believe he would have stayed the 14 full years had the series been more realistic in some ways, such as that. I hardly ever watched after Roberts left; he was a fine, fine dramatic actor. I love the music in here. I do not like the regular intro music except for that 1st(?) year.
It's Two fold the reason Pernell Roberts Quit Bonanza ! 1 he didn't like the Idea of 3 Grown men /sons taking MOST,of Their orders from Their DAD , 2 He thought he could be the Best movie star Ever ! Ask Google!
SHARON BAKER we use to watch these episodes all the time,,,, & I agree,,, shows to-day have no messages in them,,,(maybe 1 or 2,,, ) but these had values which you could pass on to children,,& even friends. We as a family would watch them together.🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻,,GD BLESS.
I liked watching this episode where Adam and Hoss worked together without Ben and Little Joe because it showed the very serious and smart side of Hoss. This was a refreshing change. Hank Patterson played the 2nd blacksmith here. He also played Mr Ziffel in "Green Acres."
Indeed! There was no sibling rivalry between these 2 brothers, more mature, not so Hot headed as Lil Joe. I grew up watching Bonanza after church every Sunday night at 9. Out of church at 8:55 I ran home... Bonanza was where the real life lessons were portrayed...Ben was like a father image to me. This was a great episode, one of the best... Long live the Spirit of this show... ~~~~~~~~~~£ar~~~~~~~~
SOOOOO BEAUTIFUL EPISODE. SADLY, ADAM SHOULD HAVE KEPT REGINA. A MATCH MADE IN HEAVEN. UNBELIEVABLY TRUE AND SOOOOO PURE LOOOOOOVE WAS GOING ON. YOU CAN SEE THIS KIND OF LOOOOOOVE ONCE IN A CENTURY. ANYTIME YOU SEE THIS KIND OF LOOOOOOVE, GRAB IT BY THE HORNS AND NEVER LET GO. ❤❤❤❤❤
Living in Summit County, Ohio. The largest Amish community is in Holmes County which is about 45 minutes away, I love going there any chance I can. Got use to their simple way of living. Being from Southeast Asia, fit in perfectly.
"Adam" and that great star that played him was special...maybe my favorite actor. I loved it when Adam and Hoss were together, they both older than that little strange Little oe and it was always a better story when the episodes were dramatic and not the more regular silly or same over & over scripts. I knew/know now, many that will love this show forever. I hate the sad endings. There was no reason that Adam and the woman could not marry and she be part of the story. Westerns do irritate me a lot...not sensible & are mostly the same thing, etc. I very seldom watched it after Pernell Roberts quit the show.
@@wally1452 Well I agree, I preferred the shows when Adam was in them and I only saw it in reruns as I am only 51. However, according to my mom, Adam was the least favourite Cartwright. Perhaps that's why Roberts left, he wanted to go out when the show was on top, and before he became type cast, especially as not popular.
@@ianarchibald1423 Thanks Ian. In last 60 years, since inception of this series, this the 1st time I heard a negative re Pernell Roberts. I know people disagree but Pernell has done the stage, Shakespeare...things of real substance and he wanted more shows as this one, something with that substance Bonanza lacked on any kind of regular scale. I agree there were some shows that were okay after "Adam" left but for myself, I saw right away the depth and excellence in this man's character.
@@jeffreyrogers8151 Thanks for reply, I like reading the other viewers thoughts...discussing a film, a book is/has been uplifting for me always, since a boy over 60 years ago. Yes, agreed there were some good ones after Pernell R. left but they were like any other same old western. I cannot name but maybe a few realistic westerns; so much silliness and myth in all of them. It was very distinctive to me re the very different shows with the maturity and some reality in the Pernell Roberts episodes. I got tired of Little oe kissing a pretty girl, wanting to marry after a kiss, or that awful explosion because he never controlled temper. I liked your comment sir.
Sarina...I agree. I also think, or surely tend to believe that a small minority of actors' performances, as Pernell (Adam) did here and in all the shows where he was the lead player...that somehow, though playing a part, they somehow show something of themselves, i. e., some part of who/how they really are as a person comes through. I read, also saw Pernell in interviews and he was loved by all, the only one he had trouble he had was Mr. Dortort, producer, when Adam said he'd seen the shows so obviously the same nearly every week and any change was only different actors but the basic core had Ben & the "boys" always the same (except Adam for he was so fine an actor he would fight against what lazy Landon and Hoss simply played every week. It is difficult to explain, sort of, on here, this way. My sister would have loved to have met Pernell. In his several year series, "Trapper john, M.D." his great acting came through no matter what. I compare him to Spencer Tracey who had that something extra that moves people very much. Please forgive my small book here. I like discussing a good film, actor or a book.
@@wally1452 From what I've heard, Pernell didn't just want to infuse some variety...he wanted wholesale changes that would have turned it into a completely different show.
Great, great story...Pernell Roberts was magnificent as always. He was my favorite actor and I have seen so many films in last 70 years. I wish they had him in the series (as the main character in the episodes, more often.) I like this series a lot although there are those percentage of shows, of course, that lack much interest.) What I am saying here is that the series shines much more when Pernell Roberts is in it. I never cared for Little oe much at all with his usually lousy temper, his (most of the time immaturity with women and his fighting in every show.) But there is a lot of good in this different type of western, also that the Cartrights for most part were well educated and good people.
Yeah Little Joe annoyed me as well with his every girl he dated I am going to marry her pa. I liked Adam first then Ben then Hoss but after Adam left I stopped watching the show
@@natvan29 Thanks for good comment. I surely liked this episode a lot. Also, in many shows they had proper music, beautiful music to fit the scene. Almost every film I have ever seen, especially westerns, the music goes sky high and it is usually awful. Robert Redford was one who finally got the point about music in a story...his "Out of Africa" was great...Mozart.
I think there was a great complementary value within the cast...Adam perfectly offset the others. He wasn't as soft hearted as Hoss, or as Ben BECAME in later years...he wasn't as impetuous as Joe...Let's face it, a rich family HAS to have at least ONE cynic...or they won't be rich for very long!!! In fact, I even thought Adam's LOOK was a perfect complement to the rest of the cast, as well....the others were usually in shades of brown(and Joe's perennial green jacket)....Adam's all-black ensemble perfectly offset the others...it made them LOOK better as a group. In every respect, Adam was perfect for what he was....They still had some good episodes after he left, but the chemistry was never the same.
Joe was immature and hot tempered because in the early episodes, he was still just a young boy. In season 1, he was supposed to only be 17. Who among us is mature at such a young age?
As a young girl my father would watch this show, he was upset when Hoss, or the man who played the character, passed away. I watched one or two episodes, but being young I thought them all old and a silly show ( like firing into a crowd of people and they all scatter without getting hit. :). Now I Just started watching during the Pandemic. And enjoy seeing the new stars who became famous. RIP all the Cartwright's.
G'day Hannah, there was... But feminists killed them. If there are any of us left you won't find them drinking soy lattes at the local hipster cafe or on Facebook.
I like how you put that! Also, isn't it a man's role to protect women and children? What kind of man does not protect the women and children in times of danger? Even as a woman, I will die fighting for the safety of my family.
That's a good perspective. As a Christian I've never believed that you cannot protect and defend yourself, family, community and nation. In fact I believe that the Bible shows clearly that you indeed may protect and defend.
Another great episode with Pernell Roberts our gorgeous Adam i watched this episode thus morning it's been a wonderful start to my day can't wait for this evening please can you do toy soldier or old sheba or any if the three with little Peggy i can't thank you enough it's been along time without Bonanza I'm really enjoying watching again thank you so much ❤
beauty is subjective.....you should never claim others agree with your opinion...because adam..pernell roberts....certainly was not a gorgeous man..in fact while obviously not ugly he can not even be called a handsome man
@@jadezee6316 Yes beauty is subjective and she had every right to post her comment, beauty is in the eye of the beholder and there are a lot of us who believe he was a very handsome, gorgeous and talented actor who is much missed! You have the right to your opinion and some might agree with you but she has the right to hers and there are many who will agree with her, including me! RIP Pernell!
@@jadezee6316 Adam certainly was quite yummy mam. You're entitled to your opinion, but many of us are in agreement that Adam/Pernell is very good looking.
What gorgeous about Adam!!! He is not Cary Grant, neither Gary Cooper nor Tyrone Power or Gregory Peck . Little Jo was much much more handsome than Adam. Unfortunately he had no hair and bad dental range.
People will either agree or disagree with a comment, naturally. BUT, the commentor is ALWAYS posting only their opinion, so what is the point to disagree with a personal opinion. Though it would be fun to have a vote..Adam vs. Joe. LOL Joe (my opinion) is good looking, but doesn't appeal to me in the least. Adam is handsome and quite sexy, I like his looks even in the show Trapper John MD.
@@deborahsojourner6755 I always heard that, while the show was actually airing, Adam was the one who received the most fan mail. Either way, it definitely wasn't the same show without him. Every family needs at least one cynic...and that goes DOUBLE for a rich family!
Pernell Roberts was actually dating the actress that played Regina at the time this episode was filmed - so any 'passion in his kisses' wasn't necessarily 'acting' ! :)
The actress was about 3 years older than Pernell. She did a good job in this episode. But I do think she was not pretty, not even handsome - a dog face.
Adam's horse is forever throwing his head, fighting the bit and side stepping. When is someone going to figure it out? Surely it should be obvious to his rider or someone on the set.
It’s the only time in the whole series that I see Pernell the actor lose it at 23:27. Sport is moving so much Pernell can barely get off the horse & when he does he yanks the reins a bit. I think sport knew Pernell was not entirely comfortable on horses, and was reflecting that back to him.
Ive noticed that too. I think Adam just likes to RIDE this way so it looks flashy on CAMERA. I don't think for one minute he can NOT handle a horse. I saw him guest star on THE BIG VALLEY WESTERN with Nick Bark;ley and e ADAM rides normal on that show. They were huting a mountian lion and not once did ADAM ride like a prancer.
Actually, those other men were up to no good any way. They are rogues, thieves and bushwhackers. Once they took notice of those people, they were going to attack the wagon train any way because that's what they do; they wreak havoc. Luckily, Adam and Hoss were there to offer some protection.
She never blamed him, she said so herself, it was Adam who blamed himself, I thought that that was very honest and noble about him and he did all that he could to avenge all of the troubles that felt that he had caused so yeah I will applaud him for seeking to correct something that wasn't really his fault, it just happened
I've seen a photo of Pernell and the woman who played Regina while they were dating. It can be seen on the Google site. I just pulled up their names pertaining to the 2 of them and it came up, they're sitting at a table
Watch when he signals the horse with the bit. (stops and turns at speed) He is very heavy handed. He yanks the bit and hurts the horse's mouth. Less bit and more leg signals would fix it.
@@misslucky5474 Disagree 23:21-28 Then Hoss 24:17 Pa and Hoss' horses walk up calmly and stop. Adam is snatching the bit and the horse is uncomfortable.
I love the old English that these Quakers used when they spoke just like the old English that the 1611 King James Authorized Version of God's Holy Word the Bible which is inerrant and infallible uses. That might be why they do that.
@@lynettepalecek3141 it's actually because in the 1600s, 'thee' and 'thou' were used in less formal settings than 'you' (which was used when talking to someone of higher standing than you). It was a way of engaging with everyone in the spirit of equality.
@11:25 Adam being socially awkward trying to talk to the woman might be relatable to some people in the audience, but this doesn't really make sense for Adam's character. Adam has grown up socializing with other people, and with women. I could see Hoss tripping over himself, but not Adam. Also pretty silly that Adam is demonized at the end for trying to stop a serial murderer and robber.
I agree, I watched an episode where 'Pa' was 'stepping out' with an actress who was passing through town. Adam paid her a visit, and planted a man's kiss on her and walked away. Then he says to his brothers' 'she's an actress'. in such a scathing manner, he made it sound worse than 'prostitute'. It was such a funny episode I had to watch it twice for the laughs of Joe and Hoss sneaking out the window to go and watch the actress because Adam's bedroom door was still open. And lo and behold Adam was there in the line up before the two got there. Then after the show having a drink in the saloon, Ben comes in with the actress and Hoss says, Pa! The look on the boy's faces was priceless and they all try to hide their faces. Now that I've written that, I'll go and watch it for the third time and have laughs again.
earth to earth ashes to ashes dust to dust; I thank thee and may God bless your day; time for a little drink? I didn't get the name? Adam Cartright; is something *amiss? wrong?
I am an 80 year old person that got my first horse at the age of 12. It is rather amusing watching the riders in these westerns. Most of them are really not very good equestrians
Adam finds a horseshoe from Sam's horse on the ground at the 40:34 mark , but already had it tucked into his belt at the 38:00 minute mark as he bends down beside Sam's dead partner....
Something is wrong with the way Parnell's horse, the bit..I noticed it at first in another episode, then watching this, riding the horse a lot, there is!! The horse is extremely uncomfortable...to me anyway..anyone else know better..??
A few centuries ago, when pirates were rampant, some merchant ships would paint logs to look like cannons. They called them "Quaker guns". I wonder if it would be okay for these people to hold sticks as if they were rifles.
If they have no guns, how do they get their food? There certainly isn't a butcher in the neighborhood. Love this episode, but more attention could have been paid to logistics🤥
Pernell Roberts was 31 years old when he was cast as Adam Cartwright, Lorne Green was only about 13 years older than him and Dan Blocker was the same age as Pernell so no Lorne wasn't 50 and Pernell Roberts wasn't 40 years old. Lorne Green was born February 12th , 1915, Pernell Roberts was born May 18 th 1928 and Dan Blocker was born December 10th, 1928 same year, as Pernell Roberts , Lorne Green was 44 years old and Pernell Roberts and Dan Blocker were both 31 years old when they first started Bonanza in 1959
Good episode but again, could have been a lot better if they were more realistic in the script. What imo would have been better would have been to let Adam realize that fighting the outlaws would be to risky given the circumstances, and instead, give the group back their money out of his own pocket. If he had done that he would have saved Regina's father and Mathew and kept the girl he loved (Regina). Then, Adam could have married in the show, probably keeping the best member of the cast (Pernell) from leaving. I also enjoyed how Adam and Hoss interacted in this episode and the show should have took advantage of that chemistry.
It seem to me that Adam seem a little upset about hoss going as well yes he probably glad later on that he came however he probably thinking better Hoss then Joe at least Hoss won't try to steal the girl I like he will only steal my food
I got the impression that they were supposed to be Amish or Mennonite. It's not mentioned on the show, probably because the writers didn't feel it was necessary to be that specific about it. It was enough that they were some kind of a pacifist sect.
So where exactly was this Slatersville? Was it made up only for this show, or what? Has the town since been renamed? The only Slatersville I found is in RI. None in CA or NV. The only Quaker settlement of note that's close to the Ponderosa would be Quaker Hill, which is in Nevada County. When you pull up the Wikipedia on it there's like 50 ghost towns listed just in that one county alone.
Things only a trained eye can see. Script writer must have been high writing this episode and at time stamp 34:15 camera pans right to left from Adam to the grave mourners. There the lighting is contradicted. Sunny bright day blocked by a row of men and to light the grave they reflected the light coming from a source opposite the Sun. Are there two Suns? The director must have been high on the set, he should have changed camera placement and if you want to emphasize the grave then put up front in the shot, mourners in the background, and the Sun light bleeding all over them.
@@rosered103 Shooting into a crowd and nobody getting shot is possible and believable if done right...but lighting you cannot make believable when it is done wrong. As far as your sarcasm is concerned; shove right up your ass!
Not one of the best certainly. Hangs together with gaping holes. Hardly a story at all. There was absolutely no reason to bring Sam Board into this, giving him a role and all that.
@@timothykozlowski2945 yes he did, it's entitled A Rose For Lotta , season one very first episode and the Actress was Yvonne DeCarlo, AKA Lily Munster

i grew up watching these shows, what an era! it gave me a sense of loyalty, honesty and being family oriented.
The music was also superb in this one! Really memorable musical cue.
Pernell Roberts does a wonderful job when it comes to handling his horse Sport,, he seems to be quite a handful but then again he could deal with just about anything that he sets his mind to. Love this episode. Pernell and his actual girlfriend doing a magnificent job 👍💯
She was married. She was not his actual girlfriend
Adam walks around behind her like a faithful puppy, quite sweet really!!
One of the best episodes of all time. Boy, do I love this episode; it's an all time classic.
Absolutely. If I made a top ten list, this one would be there.
I knew hoss would love the quakers.
So nice to see hoss and Adam together. Rarely see that.
God bless these old shows. When America was great.
Yeah, Hoss and Adam made a great team, with their entirely different outlooks and dispositions...
This is a great episode, but - being a huge Adam fan - I find it hard to watch !! You can practically hear Adam's heart breaking in that last scene.
Yeah. But he made the right decision. He could not be among those people. Adam is a man...a protector of women and children; among other traits as well. He doesn't believe in allowing others to come in and run havoc over his community. Real men protect their community. Adam and Hoss are cut from the same cloth. They don't belong with these people.
That's what happens when one gets involved with someone that has a totally different lifestyle and values. Most likely the relationship will not hold.
Over acting maybe , I like Regina but he just met the girl who has different beliefs and lifestile, not for him. She is luck to be alive thou lol.
This is a good show!
@@bluebird2604 when the prospective woman doesn't die, she always has her reasons for moving on.😉
Well I would feel really safe with brothers hoss and Adam Cartwright on the trail 😊
This is where Adam should have married Regina and continued to the program for another 10 years..this is a great show for TV.
Adam is too much of a protector to marry into that group. Those people are overly meek. They will allow anybody to just come in and harm their women and children without even trying to protect. Adam is too big of a man to be a part of such a weak congregation.
Clashing lifestyles. Just like in the Way of Aron episode where she was a religious Jewish woman.
p.s. I cannot recall how many persons told me that "Adam Cartright" was their favorite too and disliked it a lot when Pernell Roberts left the series...it is too long here to tell why he left and why he may have stayed.

I love the music in here. I do not like the regular intro music except for that 1st(?) year.
parnetly, one rreason was that he and Midahel Landons srongly didn't get along in real life.
It's Two fold the reason Pernell Roberts Quit Bonanza ! 1 he didn't like the Idea of 3 Grown men /sons taking MOST,of Their orders from Their DAD , 2 He thought he could be the Best movie star Ever ! Ask Google!
@Jerry-up8bk I could understand him thinking that way about Adam and Hoss but Joe was still just a kid during the first few years of the show.
I do so enjoy the more religious shows Very much it’s too bad no shows are made today like this
I agree I watch these old shows always i hate tv now its so scary and destructive wish times were better in our country

That's a good perspective. As a Christian I've never believed that you cannot protect and defend yourself, family, community and nation. In fact I believe that the Bible shows clearly that you indeed may protect and defend.
He probably would have come up with some wise proverb. You can't out-debate someone like that.
The Bible says a lot of conflicting things, because it was written by many different people. But never would Jesus have resorted violence.
Another great episode with Pernell Roberts our gorgeous Adam i watched this episode thus morning it's been a wonderful start to my day can't wait for this evening please can you do toy soldier or old sheba or any if the three with little Peggy i can't thank you enough it's been along time without Bonanza
I'm really enjoying watching again thank you so much ❤
beauty is subjective.....you should never claim others agree with your opinion...because adam..pernell roberts....certainly was not a gorgeous man..in fact while obviously not ugly he can not even be called a handsome man
@@jadezee6316 Yes beauty is subjective and she had every right to post her comment, beauty is in the eye of the beholder and there are a lot of us who believe he was a very handsome, gorgeous and talented actor who is much missed! You have the right to your opinion and some might agree with you but she has the right to hers and there are many who will agree with her, including me! RIP Pernell!
@@jadezee6316 Adam certainly was quite yummy mam. You're entitled to your opinion, but many of us are in agreement that Adam/Pernell is very good looking.
What gorgeous about Adam!!! He is not Cary Grant, neither Gary Cooper nor Tyrone Power or Gregory Peck . Little Jo was much much more handsome than Adam. Unfortunately he had no hair and bad dental range.
People will either agree or disagree with a comment, naturally. BUT, the commentor is ALWAYS posting only their opinion, so what is the point to disagree with a personal opinion.
Though it would be fun to have a vote..Adam vs. Joe. LOL
Joe (my opinion) is good looking, but doesn't appeal to me in the least. Adam is handsome and quite sexy, I like his looks even in the show Trapper John MD.
Never as great without Adam (Pernell Roberts)
I agree. My generation loved Joe, but I always liked Adam best
@@deborahsojourner6755 I always heard that, while the show was actually airing, Adam was the one who received the most fan mail. Either way, it definitely wasn't the same show without him. Every family needs at least one cynic...and that goes DOUBLE for a rich family!
One of the best felt emotional stories.
Pernell Roberts was actually dating the actress that played Regina at the time this episode was filmed - so any 'passion in his kisses' wasn't necessarily 'acting' ! :)
Hands down Adam was the heir apparent to the Ponderosa, the family definitely would've endured under his leadership.
@@keyopronin4134 bb
@@keyopronin4134 The Pondersosa would have been left to all three sons, not just Adam.
Amazing I would have swapped places with Regina 🤣😂❣️👍👍👍👍
@@slee706 True, but every ranch business needs a leader to organize it all, and Adam would have been it.
Adam is so fine, wonderful and gorgeous! And he's a protector too...mmm. And Hoss is adorable.

RIGHT! SHIT HOSS COULD FIGHT HIS AZZ OFF💪👊👊
Thanks for uploading this
I’m sorry the way Adam kisses her hand at 45:48 has me screaming. Pernell Roberts was seriously so 🔥 😍
oh my god that's dennis patrick! he played vaughn leland on dallas!!!
He also played Jason McGuire on "Dark Shadows."
She looked anyway too old for him already. 😁 Thanks a lot for uploading and sharing this old series.
Best regards luck and health.
The actress was about 3 years older than Pernell.
She did a good job in this episode. But I do think she was not pretty, not even handsome - a dog face.
Adam's horse is forever throwing his head, fighting the bit and side stepping. When is someone going to figure it out? Surely it should be obvious to his rider or someone on the set.
Yes, I noticed this too.
So did I.
It’s the only time in the whole series that I see Pernell the actor lose it at 23:27. Sport is moving so much Pernell can barely get off the horse & when he does he yanks the reins a bit. I think sport knew Pernell was not entirely comfortable on horses, and was reflecting that back to him.
Dortort wanted to have Adam a feisty horse,so he get sport. As adam an independent spirit
Ive noticed that too. I think Adam just likes to RIDE this way so it looks flashy on CAMERA. I don't think for one minute he can NOT handle a horse. I saw him guest star on THE BIG VALLEY WESTERN with Nick Bark;ley and e ADAM rides normal on that show. They were huting a mountian lion and not once did ADAM ride like a prancer.
Regina was well-cast. Adam was a serious more intellectually-inclined man. This was a serious and thoughtful woman. This was a gem.
This is my favorite
She's like it was awesome meeting you Adam, thank you for all the death and chaos you brought us.
Actually, those other men were up to no good any way. They are rogues, thieves and bushwhackers. Once they took notice of those people, they were going to attack the wagon train any way because that's what they do; they wreak havoc. Luckily, Adam and Hoss were there to offer some protection.
Didn't she realize this is the Wild Wild West!
She never blamed him, she said so herself, it was Adam who blamed himself, I thought that that was very honest and noble about him and he did all that he could to avenge all of the troubles that felt that he had caused so yeah I will applaud him for seeking to correct something that wasn't really his fault, it just happened
Grjingo can you upload The big valley?
I've seen a photo of Pernell and the woman who played Regina while they were dating. It can be seen on the Google site. I just pulled up their names pertaining to the 2 of them and it came up, they're sitting at a table
She reminds me of Kelley McGillis in Witness.
Why does Adams horse always move like that like it is trying to squirm out of the saddle or bridal
I know. A lot of unnecessary head tossing. Something not right there.
The horse was fine until an accident where it got caught in mud then things went wrong and the head throwing thing happened!
Watch when he signals the horse with the bit. (stops and turns at speed) He is very heavy handed. He yanks the bit and hurts the horse's mouth.
Less bit and more leg signals would fix it.
@@baskervillebee6097 That's not true. I watched him and he's not doing anything different than anybody else.
@@misslucky5474
Disagree 23:21-28
Then Hoss 24:17
Pa and Hoss' horses walk up calmly and stop. Adam is snatching the bit and the horse is uncomfortable.
I like all the episodes when I see the four horses at intro, after Adam left I had to pick and choose.
39:15, "we'd like some fresh horses...well, I don't know....we're in a hurry!!!"
You have quoted dialogue from the video.
I love the old English that these Quakers used when they spoke just like the old English that the 1611 King James Authorized Version of God's Holy Word the Bible which is inerrant and infallible uses. That might be why they do that.
@@lynettepalecek3141 it's actually because in the 1600s, 'thee' and 'thou' were used in less formal settings than 'you' (which was used when talking to someone of higher standing than you). It was a way of engaging with everyone in the spirit of equality.
I can see Adam leaving Pa and the Ponderosa for the love of a woman, But Hoss leaving too just because they serve good grub LOL!
Funny, but I think Hoss came along because he and Adam realized these good people needed to be protected on their journey.
Adam gets a love interest. ❤
I like of caracter adam catright 👈👍👍
At 38:30 Adam already has the horseshoe in his belt
It is really fun watching westerns and noticing those little easter eggs
"Life is about decisions and trade-offs" - Kevin Samuels
Hi 🙋♀️ this is a very nice 👍🏻
Joe and Adam are in different clothes. Yay 🎉
I don't think I've seen anything with Dennis Patrick this young.
@11:25 Adam being socially awkward trying to talk to the woman might be relatable to some people in the audience, but this doesn't really make sense for Adam's character. Adam has grown up socializing with other people, and with women. I could see Hoss tripping over himself, but not Adam.
Also pretty silly that Adam is demonized at the end for trying to stop a serial murderer and robber.
I agree, I watched an episode where 'Pa' was 'stepping out' with an actress who was passing through town. Adam paid her a visit, and planted a man's kiss on her and walked away. Then he says to his brothers' 'she's an actress'. in such a scathing manner, he made it sound worse than 'prostitute'. It was such a funny episode I had to watch it twice for the laughs of Joe and Hoss sneaking out the window to go and watch the actress because Adam's bedroom door was still open. And lo and behold Adam was there in the line up before the two got there. Then after the show having a drink in the saloon, Ben comes in with the actress and Hoss says, Pa! The look on the boy's faces was priceless and they all try to hide their faces. Now that I've written that, I'll go and watch it for the third time and have laughs again.
That was exactly the attitude about actresses back then. Women living a completely un-domestic life seemed like depravity then.
@@rosered103that episode is entitled The Magnificent Adah, season #1
I always thought the actor who played Sam Board looked a lot like a young Billy Graham.
Adams horse is bigger than Hoss' horse. I should think Hoss needs the bigger horse.
earth to earth ashes to ashes dust to dust; I thank thee and may God bless your day; time for a little drink? I didn't get the name? Adam Cartright; is something *amiss? wrong?
That was an original Appaloosa
Sam Board, the odd one out, a character that I couldn’t take too, a bad 🍎 in the 🧺.
I am an 80 year old person that got my first horse at the age of 12. It is rather amusing watching the riders in these westerns. Most of them are really not very good equestrians
Adam should have been the sheriff! YAH!
Blooper with that horseshoe. Adam finds it at 40:40 but he was wearing it tucked in his belt earlier at 38:14 "And that's where the money is..."
It's funny they got different horses but in the next episode they have their own horses back
They traded them back again.
First time ever had anything negative to say. Regina is just too old and plain for Adam.
That was his actual girlfriend.
She’s a beauty
She is a classic beauty. Odd you think this.
Well she was 35 in this episode and Pernell Roberts was 32.
@@doriangray2020 she’s looks older than 35 and Adam looks younger than her. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder so they say.
Comece a colocar os legendados. Por favor. Gosto muito dessa série e não tem onde assistir.
Olá, tem dois canais no youtube que tem os episódios de Bonanza legendados em português: canal clássicos e KlaussBR
Adam finds a horseshoe from Sam's horse on the ground at the 40:34 mark , but already had it tucked into his belt at the 38:00 minute mark as he bends down beside Sam's dead partner....
Something is wrong with the way Parnell's horse, the bit..I noticed it at first in another episode, then watching this, riding the horse a lot, there is!! The horse is extremely uncomfortable...to me anyway..anyone else know better..??
Someone already started a 'thread' and commented on this --- check the other comments.
YES I ALSO NOTICED IT...BUT I DIDN'T NO WHY
I WONDER DID ADAM TAKE NOTICE AS TO WHY HIS HORSE DID THIS 🐎...
Cause horses are freaks.
@@Tralala691 nah his horse is loving being ridden by Adam .. who wouldn’t.
A few centuries ago, when pirates were rampant, some merchant ships would paint logs to look like cannons. They called them "Quaker guns". I wonder if it would be okay for these people to hold sticks as if they were rifles.
is Adam gonna git some ??
If they have no guns, how do they get their food? There certainly isn't a butcher in the neighborhood. Love this episode, but more attention could have been paid to logistics🤥
Hmmm must have been very strict vegetarians🤔
Adsm do beautiful ❤
Another girlfriend bites the dust. Why did the writers do it?
@ 28:58 you can hear a plane, maybe it's just a mustang 😄
That’s pretty sharp, noticing that!
only on T.V. can a 50-year-old Father have a 40-year-old Son
Pernell Roberts was 31 years old when he was cast as Adam Cartwright, Lorne Green was only about 13 years older than him and Dan Blocker was the same age as Pernell so no Lorne wasn't 50 and Pernell Roberts wasn't 40 years old. Lorne Green was born February 12th , 1915, Pernell Roberts was born May 18 th 1928 and Dan Blocker was born December 10th, 1928 same year, as Pernell Roberts , Lorne Green was 44 years old and Pernell Roberts and Dan Blocker were both 31 years old when they first started Bonanza in 1959
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Good episode but again, could have been a lot better if they were more realistic in the script. What imo would have been better would have been to let Adam realize that fighting the outlaws would be to risky given the circumstances, and instead, give the group back their money out of his own pocket. If he had done that he would have saved Regina's father and Mathew and kept the girl he loved (Regina). Then, Adam could have married in the show, probably keeping the best member of the cast (Pernell) from leaving. I also enjoyed how Adam and Hoss interacted in this episode and the show should have took advantage of that chemistry.
It seem to me that Adam seem a little upset about hoss going as well yes he probably glad later on that he came however he probably thinking better Hoss then Joe at least Hoss won't try to steal the girl I like he will only steal my food
👍💗💗💗
Glad you enjoyed it! You may also enjoy this film: th-cam.com/video/xah-VI53g4w/w-d-xo.html
Who are the people that are shown in this episode? Orthodox christians?
I got the impression that they were supposed to be Amish or Mennonite. It's not mentioned on the show, probably because the writers didn't feel it was necessary to be that specific about it. It was enough that they were some kind of a pacifist sect.
36:18, Shen tries to double cross Sam.
17.13 What did Hoss say?
So where exactly was this Slatersville? Was it made up only for this show, or what? Has the town since been renamed? The only Slatersville I found is in RI. None in CA or NV. The only Quaker settlement of note that's close to the Ponderosa would be Quaker Hill, which is in Nevada County. When you pull up the Wikipedia on it there's like 50 ghost towns listed just in that one county alone.
44:21 He shoots the ground? lol
And the quaker guy dies from him shooting the ground?
18:40, Shen tells Sam that he wants his cut.
31:35, Shen is tired of waiting on Sam.
Why did they choose to have a not good looking /old woman in this episode?
36:18, Shen attempts to double-cross Sam.
Things only a trained eye can see. Script writer must have been high writing this episode and at time stamp 34:15 camera pans right to left from Adam to the grave mourners. There the lighting is contradicted. Sunny bright day blocked by a row of men and to light the grave they reflected the light coming from a source opposite the Sun. Are there two Suns?
The director must have been high on the set, he should have changed camera placement and if you want to emphasize the grave then put up front in the shot, mourners in the background, and the Sun light bleeding all over them.
Okay Mr Director, don't forget about shooting into a crowd of people where they all scatter like squawking chickens and nary a one of them gets shot.
@@rosered103 Shooting into a crowd and nobody getting shot is possible and believable if done right...but lighting you cannot make believable when it is done wrong. As far as your sarcasm is concerned; shove right up your ass!
👍🙏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏😍😍😍😍😍😍
me choca lo coqueto q es ese cuero de Adam! ..
Not one of the best certainly. Hangs together with gaping holes. Hardly a story at all. There was absolutely no reason to bring Sam Board into this, giving him a role and all that.
Is this first time Adam kisses a lady?
I think he kissed a woman in the first episode
@@timothykozlowski2945 yes he did, it's entitled A Rose For Lotta , season one very first episode and the Actress was Yvonne DeCarlo, AKA Lily Munster
