Bonanza - Half a Rogue | Episode 118 | WESTERN TV SERIES | Free YouTube Western | English

[@donniemayer]

Man, Slim Pickins has got to be the most unrecognized, underrated actors, who should be in the Acting Hall of Fame; if there is such a thing.......... so many, many shows, so many many movies he was in !!!!

[@suev3339]

A winning rodeo horseman where he won his awards.

[@Jerry-up8bk]

Yeah he played a Sheriff in another episode of Bonanza !

[@ronleddy5131]

Absolutely, however once you've heard his voice and seen him act you'll always recognize him. An uncommon voice! As a youngster I knew of him from tv 1974 Kung Fu, Grizzly Adams, How the West Was Won, & B.J. and the Bear, and a movie The Apple Dumpling Gang in 75.

[@c.calliecoleman1531]

For real. I loved him and Hoss together here, as equals in strength and personality. I actually was very surprised at Hoss though, being able to carry him, on his shoulder. Hoss really is king of the mountain.

[@meltyenjoys]

Ugh, I love Hoss. Dan Blocker was such a wholesome person ❤

[@stevenrussell5340]

The lead in music with Hoss riding in, is always used when a fun episode is coming on. It is upbeat, and happy.

[@neilwaldock6272]

It's referred to as "Hoss's theme". There's many variations of it used in Bonanza, but only for "Hoss" episodes, and only for the more light-hearted ones. Whenever I hear Hoss's theme, I know it's going to be a good episode.

[@eddiemorin1902]

DAN BLOCKER AND SLIM PICKENS DID SOME GREAT FIGHT SCENES TOGETHER AND ALSO PLAYED IN ANOTHER EPISODE WHERE SLIM WAS INVITING HOSS TO BE BEST MAN AT HIS WEDDING. GREAT SHOW. GOD BLESS THEM BOTH FOR THEIR TALENT.

[@dianaacord64]

AMEN!!!! EDDIE MORIN

With fight and stunt arrangers - yes.

[@robertbowman7382]

It's apparent Slim Pickens and Dan Blocker became friends here.

[@winonamassingill7895]

I saw that episode also and I enjoyed it immensely. It was so funny!!!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😅😅😅🥰🥰🥰

[@arlineabdalian8974]

Once again, Dan Blocker's Hoss is the heart and soul of Bonanza, always compassionate, humane and fair. Nicely scripted, acted and directed. Many thanks!

[@cindystevenson9669]

Always loved his character.

[@wiseguymaybe]

I knew it! Dan Blocker's hoss was the star of the show. It had to be to carry so much of his weight. Poor hoss. 🐴

[@tracytempleton8618]

I feel exactly the same lol He has always been my favorite on Bonanza, growing up as a little girl and now as a 57yr old. Big ole teddy bear!

[@stevenbowen7674]

Agreed

[@AndrewVelonis]

I never quite thought of it that way, but you are right. And no one else could have played that role.

[@soulaesthete8563]

Slim Pickens was a great actor with an unmistakable voice. No wonder he was in demand as a character actor.

[@roytrudgian4786]

Yes. Even here Australia he was very well liked. He's one of a rare breed. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@davidjutovsky467]

He's great in Blazing Saddles

[@AndrewVelonis]

Unmistakable voice indeed. I did not know he was going to be in this episode but as soon as I heard him speak, I knew immediately who it was.

Also a winning rodeo horseman.

Hoss is just a big old loving big bear, everyone loves him, thank you for the memories DAN u are the best of the bonanza series shows. a true real hearted man for all seasons. just let your kids watch this show they learn how to love and give love to others, I would had loved to live on such a ranch in 1865

[@natvan29]

I don't love him he was ok I liked him better then Joe but not better then Adam and Ben

[@jacksugden8190]

Hop Sing was a grovelling little yes man, who would wipe your backside if you asked him.

[@jacksugden8190]

He’s gullible, that’s why they get into so much trouble being so kind hearted.

[@zxyatiywariii8]

@Jack Sugden No Hop Sing wasn't. He yelled at three sons if they were late to dinner and the food was getting cold. And he was willing to risk going prison to marry that woman he fell in love with, back when interracial marriage was illegal. He loved the Cartwrights, and was Ben's employee, but he'd speak up for himself (and for others, like that woman) when he needed to.

[@donhagerty5669]

@@jacksugden8190 it sounds like you haven't even watched the show if you have that opinion of Hop sing. He would even argue with Hoss when they didn't agree on something 🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🍑🍉

Has to be one of my favorite bonanza episodes. Really show quality. Always excellent guest stars and always a moral to the story. Hollyweird could sure take note from these fine gems.

[@madelineray9480]

When I was a child and I was ill I used to tell my mom that I wanted to go to the Ponderosa house,Hoss would take care of me. All family wore so kind to everyone, why not to me?Just remembering those times. Was such a great episode. Thank you.

[@IwasBlueb4]

That was one of the sweetest comments Ive ever read.....

[@JFF35753]

Great episode. It seems to me in season 4 Hoss got more lead roles than in the previous seasons. He is my favorite. And Slim was awesome.

[@devong7124]

A good episode? Hoss , tough sweet good man. Dan B. had so much talent. No one else could play that part like Dan B. Slim P. great actor.

[@stephenchristian5739]

This is by far top 5 bonanza episode FINALLY something realistic, Shane style, I love just about all the episodes ever made but sometimes they are just to damn corny, but we all still watch don't we? Happy trails folks

[@joycedollar1198]

That was awesome. Watched it 3 times. Sure wish I could have met those two. Ole Dan and slim. Men with real grit and true compassion. Quite a combo.

[@JeffreyVagell]

Slim Pickens makes every Western Cowboy movie or show ten times better, well two times with Bonanza.

Wonderful, wonderful episode. You can tell from the intro music there would be laughter. And laugh I did. Thank you.

I love Bonanza and can watch some episodes over and over and still enjoy them. Those were the days of great television when you could connect to the characters, and families could sit down and watch together. Thanks Grjngo for putting these together and allowing me and so many others to enjoy them. Really appreciated!

The comment that guy made,reminded me of an episode I would love to see again.Charles Bronson was guest star,playing a half breed.He got friendly with Joe & in one conversation he said "You see Joe,when you're half of something,you're really half of nothing".Sad comment.But be a great episode to see again.And the circus one where the girl said "Well Little Joe,do you think you would like to try the trapeze?"His answer being "Oh no,not me.I have enough trouble getting up on the horses around here".Funny,I can remember that.But as to finding out where I put a card yesterday....!

Slim Pickens was one of those great character actors of that era that made any show or movie funny. Strother Martin was another

[@joeowens6180]

Every single time I feel the same way: how could anyone spend a better 5o minutes than watching these great episodes which once captured the heart of Americans! I wonder (if anyone knows the answer), did any of these episodes ever make i t to Britain? I sure hope so - I was our finest hour in early TV!

[@pernellgirly8064]

It got here! I remember watching it when I was a child but It started 1 month before I was born so I only remember it from the 7th season when there was only the 3 Cartwrights, so glad to now be watching it from the beginning as Pernell's portrayal of Adam made the show amazing! RIP Pernell!

[@tomnewham1269]

I remember watching Bonanza as a kid here in Australia but by that time they were all repeats. So if they showed them here I'm sure they would have been shown over in Britain.

[@IwasBlueb4]

It was VERY popular in Spain, in the 70s but unfortunately was in Spanish...I didnt like it then...LOVE it now

[@sheridanfitzgerald143]

I'd love to know who arranged their fight scenes. Having spent my acting career doing all my own action sequences, I've rarely seen fights where the 'delivery' and reaction to the hits looked so convincing. Comedy, pathos, drama; top quality family entertainment on every level, Bonanza nights were 'sacred', no-one went out. What a pity they can't write shows like this these days.

[@roostercogburn3771]

Your right about the "top quality, but wrong about "they can't write shows like this". They could, but now-a-days for some unknown reason, they let the Devil in and went to going in the opposite direction. Back then, men were men, not deciding if they wanted to be!

@@roostercogburn3771 Right on.Can hear The Duke agreeing with u too.

[@zxyatiywariii8]

I agree. I'm relatively new to Bonanza and I've been binge-watching ever since I watched my first episode. The series came out before I was born, but true quality is timeless. And Hollywood doesn't make quality these days.

I always preferred the episodes surrounding Hoss, who to me was a little more balanced character than Adam and Little Joe. He wasn't perfect and had his unique quirks, but unlike his older and younger brothers, he was no drama queen or took nearly everything personal as Adam and Joe did in certain episodes.
