Jeni Hansen as a kid my dad turned me into BONANZA and after a while I stop watching it I guess I got board of it but I still like it I watch only once a day but that’s all
I was born in 1973, watched it as a kid with my beloved grandfather. I'm still watching at 48 years old and I'll be watching until the day I pass on to that great ranch in the sky.
Wow, I remember the colorful peacock station sign. My uncle used to come over our place on Sunday and stay to watch Bonanza with dad. I have rediscovered the shows in retirement. I can understand why people loved this series! There isn't much these days to compare to the quality of this series!🤗🤗🤗
I had no idea just how great, deep and even subtle the acting was on this classic old program. The last time I watched an episode of 'Bonanza' I was just a kid back in the 1960's, its been decades now. I guess you have to become an adult to truly grasp and comprehend the nuances of such things.
When it aired the final season i was only 4 years old so i could not remember what the tv series was all about, but i certainly remember the tv theme song, so now i can finally watch the episodes thanks to you and youtube.
Wow! Guest star Julie Adams died two weeks ago (February 3, 2019)! Age 92! Great actress! Starred into too many roles to count! I loved her in _Tickle Me_ with Elvis Presley!
She had a second leading lady in an underrated movie called “The Mississippi Gambler” starring Tyrone Power. It’s definitely a must watch and it’s on RU-vid too.
🙋🏼♀️Hiya Sgt. Salvador Monteverde, USMC, Retired! How nice to hear from you, reading this just three days after Veterans Day! 🗽Please allow me to *_THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE!! GOD BLESS YOU!!_* 🇺🇸💋
Gysgt. Salvador Monteverde, USMC, Retired yes, that nbc peacock brought back childhood memories of watching bonanza on Sunday evenings with my family and the Disney world theme on abc. Very nostalgic era
Gysgt. Salvador Monteverde, USMC, Retired I had the same reaction 😄 what a wonderful memory from childhood even though we never did have a color tv, we used our imagination to see how beautiful the peacock was.
don't know if they're any good ...wonderful wise that is but they're fightin over ya already ! good lookin gal like you AND you like Bonanza , can't have any problem findin a nice fella
Bonanza was so far ahead of its time. This was 1961, fast forward to 2021 and this whole area was consumed by wildfires. My goodness, what have we done to this beautiful earth 😢
I am glad that a show as good as Bonanza has as many episodes on RU-vid as it does. As you know it goes generations into the past like Star Trek takes you into the Future. What I want to say is I really got hooked on a modern show a lot like Star Trek called the Orville. Bonanza is good enough in quantity to help me get to Season Three of The Orville which it turns out, is going to be a long wait. Bonanza is a super show you can watch in any order. I highly recommend my favorite show. Find out if you have friends that also recommend the Orville. It's about caring about the characters in it. Discovery is nothing like Star Trek.
Yasmine Nazarine I grew up on all these: Waltons, LHOTP, Big V, Bonanza and I'm still watching them. In fact, I have the entire Waltons series in my collection and I probably should not admit that. Lol!!
Loved this show when I was watching it as a teenager now they do not make decent shows like this anymore. Great memories and I am glad that I can watch these episodes now online. RIP all the actors, Ben, Little Joe, Adam and Hoss. Hoss (Dan Blocker) died so young.
To me the Cartwrights the were the perfect family . After all these decades watching these episodes again I have still never seen anything better . Lessons, morals, love , a family where every member had each others back , The love of the father for those boys and the values and principles that Bonanza depicted taught me a great deal . Where are the writers and actors of this calibre today . I am sorry for our young folk now who are being fed and raised on nothing but trash. They would do better to keep their televisions sets turned off now days .
The director of this Bonanza episode, as with many other episodes, took artistic license in its production. The color wheel upright slot machine, as shown in this 1861 gambling hall scene, wasn’t invented until the late 1890s.
42:28 $5000 then, in 2019 buying power, would be $78,760. 46:57 $20,000 in 1865, in 2019 buying power, would be $315,042. What a violator of trust that character was.
iTS MORE THAN THAT.' 5K WAS WORTH 155k 20K WAS WORTH 620k According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics consumer price index, today's prices in 2019 are 3,000.55% higher than average prices throughout 1860. The dollar experienced an average inflation rate of 2.18% per year during this period, meaning the real value of a dollar decreased. In other words, $5,000 in 1860 is equivalent in purchasing power to about $155,027.71 in 2019, a difference of $150,027.71 over 159 years. www.in2013dollars.com/1860-dollars-in-2017?amount=5000
She want Cartwright money and lost $5000 and the payer had to present to IOU bill to Ben and he was stunned when she lost 5000 and he had to take 5000 out of his safe and Adam take her back to win the money back and she lost $20000
Andre Bond The 20k loss was a set up, no one is going to let her lose 400k, today's money, the saloon was just helping out the Cartwrights, the second time.
@@Heart2HeartBooks As stated, the figures shared (from the same website calculator you used) were using the years 1865 and 2019, not 1860 and 2020. It was the 5th season of Bonanza, not the first, and last year. In this last year, buying power has dropped significantly due to increased printing and price-hikes. There's a big difference between last year and 2020, as anyone paying attention can see, as also mirrored by the calculator. It's good that you showed the spread.
Dan Blocker..robert pernell Lorne Greene Michael Landon the script writers and the musicians too.keep life simple. Nicholas Collora youtube with LOVE. You win...americans
Not wasting my time watching an episode where the bride will inevitably die or somehow break a Cartwright heart. I remember an old Happy Days episode where the Cartwright's were in Hawaii and Little Joe was just married to Maui Maui and then there was a stampede. Of course that was the shortest marriage in tv history.
I love this episode. Poor Hoss got taken by a wolling pretty face. That's how it was in rhose days. Tried on modern day time but it doesn't work, etc. I love Bonanza!!!
I when Hoss was showing the lake and all the land that belonged to the cartwrights it reminded me of Harriman State Park in New York state and it is one sprawling gorgeous piece of real estate I think it's 35 square miles what with the most gorgeous lakes streams old growth forests and mountains and it just can't be beat and it's actually owned by one man named Avril Harriman and when he died his wife donated the whole property to the people of New York State
@Angel Bulldog I think it's been a little too long since I've been to even near that area I'm trying to remember a place I got lost at called desolation wilderness and I'll tell you you can really get yourself in trouble by not using your noggin I remember hiking this one area in the spring I mean it was dwaterfall of gigantic flowing Waters that was so astounding it brought me back a couple years later only to find it not a trace of water and just couldn't believe the difference in the area but I'm pretty unfamiliar with California even though I did live in Sacramento for a while didn't spend enough time exploring though
Narcissistic men or women always pick trusting kind people as thier victims....30 years goes by by the the time the victim wakes up....especially if she has huge faith in the good. ...
Even though this woman is using her "feminine wilds" on Hoss, he producers made Dan Blocker, (Hoss Cartwright) play a naïve and simple role; if we ONLY we had REAL gentlemen, like this today, relationships and marriage's would last much LONGER!!!
, those dollar figures quoted for all the different things were a bit extreme considering what the a dollar was worth then.$20,000 is worth $720,000 today
When we All wore a Younger-Mans-Clothes, we All Fell 4 a Fem-Fatal like this 1 & knew it. But our Jism Got in The Way. & Boi did we not All learn a Lesson fr Thinkin w/our Little Head ? Like The Song goes, Beware of The Devil in a Blu Dress. Hmmm ?
Not according to Bonanza. If you understand the plot and the meaning behind the story, the good people always win out.i. But that's only if you have the perspective to see it.
Hoss was naive, extending trust way too soon, without waiting to let the person earn Hoss' trust, without allowing time to let the person prove themselves as to who they were. The impulse to marry rushes in, instead of taking the time to observe and learn about the person the wise way. This is why rushing is unwise. Naivete, as a character trait, doesn't use wisdom; it acts on impulse. Hoss, being humble, was flattered by the manipulator's attention, and couldn't believe that someone as seemingly "impressive" as that would be interested. That flattery worked. The lesson? Beware of flattering, "impressive" charmers, and let people prove themselves before ya go trusting them. Don't rush in. There's enough time to get to know them the wise way. (It wasn't just "beauty"; Hoss had a long record of being naive and extending trust before it was earned and kept.)
@@cacatr4495 You give an interesting analysis that has good points,but I dont think it was strictly Hoss being naive. I can't remember the names of the episodes,(and havent watched the full series)...but I recall a couple where Hoss did know the women for a while,yet they dumped him. The 2 most painful I can recall is the one who wanted to " see the world". She married a stranger; went off with him; he took advantage of her.In the end,her father asked for Hoss help and he went to find her...found her sick and pregnant. But Hoss was willing to bring her back with the baby. Then the one who dumped him for the guy who was then abt to be hanged by a posse; and ask Hoss for help. Hoss directly asked her if he was supposed to go save the man she dumped him for and bring back to marry her...he has feelings.So Hoss was no fool,I would say. Just when he loved,he gave his heart completely? Now,I would say his love stories..though sad...seemed the most meaningful/ telling in regards to human nature. Little Joe's?🙄 just seemed to be in love at the drop of a hat...now I would call him naive...just "hotshot". If it wasnt for the fact that he redeemed himself at times...and I understand how the brothers needed to be different...he could have been written out for me. Annoying most times, with that annoying laugh🤨. Adam's romances?-just seemed mechanical...for want of a better word😏 ( having said all that,seems like romances on these westerns all moved at the speed of lightning.If you just met, liked and wanted to marry the person,just go for it😳😂) Nevertheless,Bonanza is an overall good show.So many values taught...got across its lessons on family love and unity.
@@bobbieschroder6231 Thats a good summation..so true. I found it interesting that Hoss was the one so willing to get on board with those persons and their inventions- things that actlly came to pass.And they called him "the dumb" one?🧐😁
Was this the same actress played in a movie a wife and her child were on a house boat and Mitchell who was the very bad guy who was Robert Mitchell and Gary Grant was the law person who put him.in prison so he went after his family to terrified them.. Good actress..
