How young they all were in this early show: Ben, as always, offers the strange wisdom that sometimes clouds love's true view (or a man's for that matter). Little Joe looked truly not more than 21 or 22, all were thinner, leaner, and even Hoss's hat style had yet to come to the one we know. The episode showed how much promise the show had for a long future. Thanks, Grjingo!

While I think the later seasons got a little silly as they ran out of ideas (there were still several great episodes) these early episodes were pure magic.

Funny, Mikey Dolenz of the Monkeys was Circus Boy back then, and my older sis would drop me in front of that one...but I always liked the westerns for some reason. Whole families gathered to watch Bonanza in those days.

He's a professional fighter, which makes his hands lethal weapons. He don't need to be jailed, he ought to be maimed for taking advantage of common citizens.

The old west? No such thing as his hands are lethal weapons. It wasn't even a concept it those days. It was a way of life, you stand up for yourself, physically fight if you have to, maybe have a beer after. You're either friends, enemies or dead. Either way, the hard life goes on.

For dying so young she lived a very extraordinary life as not only an actress (the highest earning of her time) but a poet and a painter.
