I grew up watching this on Sunday nights when I was a kid. It was a good show showing good against bad and the good always prevailed in a dignified way with nice looking horses, very likeable characters and nice guns. I'm now 68 and I still watch it, it was part of my upbringing. I still love it and it brings back good memories. Some things never get old...:)
Ben Cartwright: the rancher, the entrepreneur, the philanthropist, the fast gun, the father, the sage, the Native American liaison, the ladies man, the politician, the widower...And in this episode the crazy B whisperer.
That happened to my son. He met a psycho and was really nice and caring to her taking her nice things. One day he went to see her and she did exactly this and she said "I'm going to tell my mother you beat me up". He was astounded. She had originally told him some other guy had beaten her before he came along. Incidentally her mother never did anything, As my son said, the mother must've known what she was like. The crazy part is, she got married and is a health care professional. Yikes. My son got away fast from her when she turned psycho but he was hurt for a while. Gosh she looked to me like a nice person but was crazy. There are many out there. It's very scary. At the first and tiniest sign men must get away.
What I found most annoying was how evil the Ferguson's became after years of supposed friendship. And then when they figure it out they're all nice nice again. No way. Too much water under the bridge. They could have killed Joe! Grrrrrrr
OH MY GOD DOES THIS FIT TODAY!!! IF I CAN ONLY TELL YOU WHAT HAPPENED TO ME. NOT 1 NOT 2 BUT 3 TIMES IN 35 YEARS OF BEING WITH WOMEN (or should i say female) WENT TO UKRAINE AUSTRIA RUSSIA MOLDOVA PHILIPPINES JUST TO GET AWAY FROM THE PSYCHOS HERE IN THE GOOD O'L USA !! THIS SHOULD BE A GOOD ONE THANKS FOR THE DOWNLOAD!! GUTSY TO DO A SHOW LIKE THIS WAY BACK THEN
Children can be vulnerable, fragile, and easily susceptible to the opinions of their guardians. Children with trauma can be easily manipulated but this can backfire due to the illogical distortion the mind creates. So no bashing your exes or others to your children. They can either grow up with their own mind and beliefs or you can mess them up trying to control them.
One person in this series only should have won an Emmy Award...Pernell Roberts. Everything else was nothing. Some said to me that it was a western comedy, nothing dramatically serious except the episodes when Adam was the main lead in an episode. I agree with that re Adam...but this series is the most asinine, unbelievable "western?" I ever saw. All of Pernell's work is what I look for...the rest is all terrible. I wish I knew how to get all of Adam's solo acting episodes, but I am old, pc illiterate.
Okay, I get it....the nanny dished up a dose of poison and spoon-fed it to her grand-daughter. Now ....I see how it makes sense for some men to fear and dread their mother-in-laws.
That girls eyes alone..ugh! Love how dad gave Joe the eye permission to kick his a** in that bar. Little Joe, stop making bad decisions, you're starting to get on my nerves.
Just the other day I saw one of these movies. This woman looks like Laura, the mother of a little girl named Peggy. Adam was there also. It had a good ending. 😅😅😅😅😅
She was emasculated by social norms, there being consistency in her life scared her and she wanted to prove she had just as much control as the people around her, her father manages his feelings well all throughout her life, he is a complete gentleman before and after her mother's passing. When he sets the picture on the chair in the room at the end, it signifies that Her mother was with him in spirit everyday. The daughter always had a natural sense of vulnerability and wanted to escape this role of being taken care of, even though it was beyond herself. Escaping her own well being Out of admiration for her dear father she was willing to prove that no other guy is half the gentleman of her father and even lies in the process Incapacitated with her reality she is struck with guilt for her ill intent and feels she cannot return to the same sense I don't think she was molested by her father, I think she admires how he manages himself and wants to be in her mother's place (role confusion) she will act out of control, for the same sense of control, that the people around her have, they deliver a sense of safety and she wants to prove that there is no safety- her life was a fairytale and every guy was at her disposal She didn't want to believe that life could really be a fairytale, rather admit she was wrong she wanted to think her father was running away with someone else "another woman" This was an episode no one wanted to Experience, very much a thriller but too realistic
I've known alot of manipulative and life destroying women who did not all go thru a horrible ordeal to end up like that. Some of them were just that way since childhood. Anyway, this episode confuses me because I know that for some people it is very easy to snap them and it takes very little to break them, but I swore that girl was attacked in Boston. It doesn't make sense for her to snap that far over something that never happened. But I guess that explains mask wearers.
Lyle Betteger also was Ike Clanton at Gunfight🔫at OK Corral.And played a German Cpt.on Combat and leader of Skull Ranch on the Rifleman. Got the trifecta got killed in all 3 😂😂😂
Don't forget the 2 dead lovers. One wife, pregnant, murdered, then a fiancé.Joe just needs a steady warm garage to keep his unit parked, satisfied and safe.
I think in the 60s, the preferred female had big fake lashes and a tiny fake voice to make them appear as sweet little dolls. I personally couldn't stand how she sounded.
“ Fist “ time I see Ben approving son to fight when usually he stops them. Good father Seems all the women courted by the Cartwright boys do not have mothers. Most evil looking puny female eyes I have ever seen, real or not. Lol.
41:22 - I thought any minute her head was going to start spinning around and start spitting out every vulgarity in the "English" language LOL. The director and camera man really knew how to get the creepiest look from Lynn Loring.
That Cochise's mane is fickle! I'm serious--one show it'll be black, the next white, then black, then white, and ever since season seven, it's been changing. In the episode Justice, it was black, then a few scenes later white, and then later It was black again!
I read somewhere that the original Cochise was killed. Someone broke into the stable he was in and stabbed him to death and severely injured a few other horses.
*nods* yeah, I read that pretty recently, too. It's really sad--I know Michael really loved that horse, and his heart was probably broken. My certainly would have been.
