First broadcast January 28, 1961, "Bank Run" was one of several second-season Bonanza episodes directed by Robert Altman. Left in charge of the Ponderosa, Joe Cartwright receives word that town banker Harrison (Ian Wolfe) plans to create a phony bank panic so he can foreclose on a mining property for a quick financial turnover. To thwart Harrison's machinations, Joe decides to stage a bank robbery-and drags a reluctant Hoss into the scheme. Written on rottentomatoes.com
Reviews:
"Cartwright characters: Joe and Hoss (Ben and Adam had smaller roles)
This is one of the humorous episodes. It's one of my favorites. I love seeing the bad boy side of Joe and Hoss. I can only imagine what they were like growing up. I'm sure they were taken to the woodshed a lot!
In this episode, Joe was playing telegrapher while his friend went to get something. Joe gets a message that a bank is closing. Before giving the message to the bank, he discovered that there was a scheme to hurt a nice, old man. So...
Joe and Hoss rob the bank. That's right - THEY ROB THE BANK!!! What follows is a series of events that leaves one laughing! I loved how Ben took everything so seriously, and in the end told Adam he would be pressing some charges against Joe and Ben. This shows how strict and loving of a father he was. Even though Joe and Hoss had the best of intentions, they still needed to be taught that their way of doing things was not good.
I loved Joe's confrontation with his father. Priceless!
Better yet: Nobody was hurt in the making of this episode...really!" Written by mitchrmp on IMDb.com
"Poor Hoss must have felt like Fredo Corleone the son the Don skipped over as a successor. Ben Cartwright puts Little Joe in charge when he and Adam go away. And Michael Landon handles it beautifully.
With the best of intentions Landon talks the gullible Dan Blocker into robbing the Harrison Bank of Virginia City. Ian Wolfe the Harrison in charge has ordered the Virginia City branch closed. Dan Tobin and Owen Bush decide to skip out with the bank's deposits before Wolfe steals it.
Using his decision making authority Michael Landon decides to rob the bank before any of them. All this leads to an episode laced with humor as these two financial geniuses try to avoid all kinds of criminal charges with a nervous Lorne Greene worried about losing the Ponderosa trying to make up for what his dimwit sons have done.
A few laughs guaranteed in this story." Written by bkoganbing on IMDb.com

@@scootergurl it’s why there was so many pandemics in the west, women tended to bathe once a week, men longer The main problem people had is that they didn’t really have access to water, what water they did have either went to stock and other farm animals, and for drinking They couldn’t waste water daily just for bathing when it could’ve meant life or death for their animals
