Bonanza - The Pure Truth | Episode 157 | DAN BLOCKER | Wild West | Cowboy | English

[@mechellehuber5352]

I absolutely love Loonie and how she breaks almost every expectation for a woman at the time. Her appearance, her complete disregard for authority, her agency, and the fact that she does whatever she wants without care. She is my most favorite one time appearance on the show.

There's a story about a guy who was drafted. He was on a flight before he shipped out. His seatmate was Dan Blocker. Dan asked if he wanted a beer. The kid turned him down because he wasn't old enough, Dan said, "I didn't ask if you could have a beer, I asked if you wanted one" so the kid drank it. Dan talked about his experiences in Korea and told the kid to look him up when he got back home. The kid did get back home and was devastated when the news broke that day...

The look on Adam's face before they hold Hoss down to give him the medicine.

[@reidhirsh3338]

I always found the character of Adam to always have an annoyingly arrogant and smug attitude especially in serious situations involving his brothers. In this case, he's getting his jollies from Hoss's situation with his Spring Fever. While humorous it is in a way, Adam getting happy about it can sometimes question if he'll ever learn that his "unique" attitude will always bite him in the ass and has too.
