I'd a been Little Joe I'd a told that kid in front of his dad that he'd better stay near his dad at all times coz the first time I saw him and he weren't he'd be seeing how much dry dirt he could eat at one sitting. And that he'd be sitting on his face for that sitting.
Watching this episode reminds me of “Jamie”. Remember when Ben “adopted” Jaime? Mitch Vogel. I thought that was the Jamie in this episode. The both Jamie’s are equally as bad as each other and both should be horsewhipped.
I was raised by a step-dad who hated me. I would have loved to have a father. I would have loved it even more if I had a father like Ben Cartwright. Thank you,Loren Greene
First of all, I agree ☝️. That man looks way, way too much older than her. It would help some if she weren’t quite so beautiful and he I didn’t think that he was a bit good looking. Ordinarily I’m just not attracted to blonde haired men. I like the “brown eyed handsome men”. Give me Gregory Peck with that quirky left eye 👁 brow any time. However, with Jamie’s blonde hair and those beautiful bright blue eyes 👀, I’ll have to make an exception 🧑🏻🦳🧑🏻🦳🧑🏻🦳. 😊😊
And I want to add another comment because I thought the one I made above would be too long if I continued with this comment. My husband was 7 years older than I was when we got married. He died when he was 37 with brain cancer. I was left a 30 year old widow with 3 young children under the age of 9 years. One of my husband’s best friends had a young son. As soon as they graduated he and a girl who also graduated with him got married. I guess they were probably both 18 years old. He joined the army he was sent to Germany and she went with him. When they were 22 years old he came home 🏡 unexpectedly and caught her with another soldier. They divorced and when he got back to Texas he came to see me. His dad and my husband worked for the same telephone company and now this young man did also. He was then 23 and I was 30 years old. So, ironically I was 7 years older than he was. We become good friends. He loved to cook 👨🍳 and he would come and cook for the kids and me a lot. After they got older and some of them graduated he still came to visit me. He was in college with a girl 👧 a little younger than he was and they got married. However, he doesn’t live nearby but we still text back and forth to keep in touch I’m now 78 years old but I never remarried. He’s 71 now and still 7 years younger than I am. 😅😅😅😅😅
The show features the (very well portrayed) arc of the eponymous wayward character. What I found interesting was how the father's absence (literally and figuratively) really formed the backbone of the story. It's unusual for a show made at that time to portray a parent as less than ideal.
not trying be gross but why when he came down stairs did he have his shirt tugged halph way in and out he must have had a good old fashion spanking on the butt
Interesting episode. There wasn't much of the usual gunfighting, fistfighting nor was there an evil villain. There was just a kid struggling with himself, but nevertheless, it was a good coming of age story.
This one gets a "D-" and that is being gracious. I watched westerns since very young, saturday matinees, and at 8 years old I loved the cinematography, horses, mountains, rivers and cattle & wildlife roaming the vast gorgeous land...even though , yes, even though the cowboys according to made up concoctions of morons, cowboys pulling guitars out of trees, so to sing to their horses...sickening because I hoped for historical western & history.
In the 1860's far west was there anyone that rode horses in the often dusty, wet, uncomfortable climate with fancy, tailor made suits and fine derby hats? In Gunsmoke I saw the Marshall take Kitty out for a ride on the dusty prairie of Kansas & Matt Dillon dressed in a suit, new hat and new boots...Kitty dressed in a dress a woman wears at a ball and a huge, expensive hat with ribbons, etc. When they got out on the dusty, windy prairie and had problems and could have died, Kitty tells Matt that they really should have brought water! I will not rant re the most ridiculous, asinine things that westerns have done since their inception...99% of all they say or do is made up falsehoods. I like the small number of episodes when Adam has the lead role...he always plays it wonderfully (he must have insisted on a good script.) It is hard to glean much from the small number of fair stories when they have a moron for sheriff and does not know the law. Little Cartwright has serious mental, emotional problems...constant fighting every show, immature. Westerns would be fine if they made things at that time that tells us the west's story....so much falsehood, lies.
unfortunately it's a little late. 20 years ago, perhaps. I think I read somewhere that Charles and Diana did smack their kids. They just couldn't have done it that hard.
This story was about a young boy named Jamie. He came to Mr. Cartwright's family with his father and Elizabeth but his father left him and went to San Francisco for some days.He learnt good manners and became humble and obedient. His father thanks Ben Cartwright for this and they all went to home.Storyline is superb. Amazing show.Bonanza is my favourite program.
AHHH. This kid Jaime, is BI-POLAR... and of course, Jaime's case worker with Mental Health, says that Mr. Cartright has a TEMPER and is ABUSIVE, right? Don't feel bad, I just deal with a BI-POLAR daughter, just like this situation
