Reviews:
"Main Characters: The Mother and daughter Spitfires
Bonanza Characters: Little Joe and Ben
After Little Joe catches a man burning their land, he has to kill the man in order to stop the fire. The daughter is naturally upset and tries to kill Little Joe. Oh, but here's the clincher: she's not like anybody else. she's a dirty, smelly, no-manners, cursing spitfire. And her mother's much worse! We're talking a different kind of people who sees nothing wrong with killing.
This episode shows the other side of life - those backwoods people who like living that way and want to keep living that way. The Mama carries a gun and is probably more of a gunfighter than her husband and boys put together. Yep, you know the type..." Written by mitchrmp on IMDb.com
"This long running series was really hitting its stride by this episode. Full cast involvement. Some humor, deadly gunfights and character development for both regulars and guest alike. The relatively young, slim Jack Elam, in all his villainy, causes all manner of trouble for the whole Cartwright clan, angers his hill country mother and the story climaxes in an unusual, surprise ending. I loved the resolution. Especially poignant is the fact that three of these familiar actors of the day had no careers by 1963. Don C. Harvey (as Elam's brother) died too young in 1963, Anita Sands turned her back on Hollywood that same year at the ripe age of 23. Steven Terrell left the profession not long after, having been on many 50s and 60s popular series. The daily grind of early television in the early days didn't have the glamour or lure of financial renumeration it has today. Some actors doffed the costumes and make-up for family and other pursuits. I think the attitude of actors may have been healthier and more philosophical back then. I am fascinated by actors' careers and what they do when not acting and how they reinvent themselves for private life. So many of this era worked intensely for about 12 years and then stopped. I could draw up an extensive list, they're still living. Just not acting." Written by dpc69 on IMDb.com

Oh that's hilarious! The bathtub scene. Great acting! Lmao

[@edoedo8686]

Great episode. I grew up with what are called "Hillbillies." I am Latino, 66 now. Our family shared gasoline, a campfire, frijoles and pancakes just outside of Indio, California, 1963. We all were pickers, Brown, White, Japanese. I remember a man with a banjo, there in the Coachella Valley. There was a woman similar to Granma in this episode. She was from Coosa Valley. Blue eyes, wire thin, tough as a wolf. But she treated me fair, gentle, even though I was Brown. This episode brought up good memories, a long time ago...

[@AndrewVelonis]

The moral of the story: hate and the desire for revenge bring only sorrow and hardship. Understanding and forgiveness bring peace and the opportunity for prosperity. This lesson and others like it need to be taught over and over again, large scale and small, nations, families and political parties alike. Bonanza was great at this kind of lesson, and without being preachy about it. Excuse me, but I'm getting choked up here.

[@josephg-ne1ht]

She got over the killing of her sons real quick when she saw the inside of the Cartwright's house! :)

[@halaayudha]

[@waynejohnson2940]

That's so true I sure had a good laugh after reading that comment

[@CarinRutherfordCreel]

It wasn’t seeing the inside of the house, and it wasn’t her getting over losing her sons, it was finally being welcomed and accepted into a community by a good, affluent family, and also, accepting the killings of her boys having been done in self defense by a good man that would rather not have had to kill. These people having little understanding of the laws, only seen them as being against “their kind” , suffering murders and killings of their kin, and being run out. Ben showed her that there are good, decent, caring people.. and that’s what she was happy about.

[@dicessdontbenosey438]

My name is Katherine Warren & was told this actresses name is too. So as I watched Bonanza growing up, it's a treat!

[@kchishol1970]

I never understood what the appeal was for Bonanza, until I saw this episode and saw how Ben Cartwright faced a belligerent feuding family, unarmed and willing to bargain for Little Joe's life. Now I see how this series, after the first season, was a very different western.

Little Joe said he had to tie the girl up...Lol. He left out the part where he had to punch her lights out first 🤦‍♀️

[@kevc21]

Yep. I'm watching on my phone in McDonald's. I laughed out loud at that left hook to the jaw. Hilarious. As a little boy, I never imagined that we'd really have devices like the Jetsons or a tri-quarter hand hold that does stuff, like Star trek. I love America so much!!! I'm black. I voted Trump in 2016. He made me quit the party in 2018. The GOP use to stand for good stuff, no, GREAT stuff. Dems started by Klansmen, Southern Whites. GOP must separate themselves from the con artist. Return to liberty and justice for all. I love America. Liberty and justice for all persons. Preach that. Martin Luther King, and most blacks were GOP in August, 1963, I have a Dream Speech, in DC. Party lines switched when President Johnson of Texas signed Civil Rights bill. It's was a watered down version than the GOP tried to previously get passed. In 2022, thanks to the internet, we all have access to tons of information, teachers didn't teach on. I loved Bonanza, the Big Valley, Little House, all that. Many of us Americans still do, black and white. Issue is, we got a lot of other people now in America, who didn't grow up here, and their mostly into their own culture, not our American culture. By necessity, we must find a way for all of us to live here peaceably. Who wants war? Not me. And I trust, not you. Thats it. I love America. Me, my brother, my sister literally kissed the ground, when disembarked the plane at McGuire AFB, after coming back from 5 years in Germany. We were Air Force Brats. Heck, we watched Bonanza while living in Base Housing in Massachusetts. I love America. That's it.

Both sons brought it on themselves

[@Susann-om5ly]

Maybe, only maybe, she somehow saw that she brought it upon them raising them with those beliefs she worded several times. Those other boys knew her son and saw what he did and that little Joe had no chance and acted in self defense. So they saw it was not true her teachings. Not with the Cartwrights anyways

[@deborahsojourner6755]

Am I right to assume the girl and her fiance were cousins? The old lady was grandma of both, wasn't she.

Interesting how ego stubbornness is yet malleable, and transformative, mother Hoad was brought up in an obsolete environment in the rural frontier of Kentucky. She had no choice but to carry that obsolete construct to the new and progressive west, and,Nevada is definitely more west than Kentucky. One attracts more understanding with honey than with vinegar. I love it when she asked Ben to show her his face however when her actor son's acted on their own, with that same construct death found them because they didn't have the same arrogance as mother did. And her own know yet unknown understanding came forth when it came to knowing her kin didn't tell lies. And her language changed rapidly at the Ponderosa, notice that?
