Bonanza

[Evil Bastard (aka Chris_L)]

Wrapping up Season 1 tonight.

I am really into this. Great show.

Although the actor who plays Hop Sing is terrible.

It's a shame when the oldest son runs off to join the circus.

The episode where Little Joe and Hoss are trapped by a cave-in at the Bonanza diamond mine gave me nightmares when I was a kid.

The song "Timothy" written by Rupert Holmes was inspired by that episode. Where on earth did Hoss go?

When Pa gets deported back to Canada the show really takes a turn for the worse.

Caht'right!

Are you mocking my post about 'The Wire,' you horrible troll!

You're a troll!

 

[Buck]

I shared something personal and important to me, and you have derided me.
You have treated me ill, cad.

Buck demands satisfaction! Pistols at dawn!

After Pa is deported he meets Ringo and saves his life in Season 6:

 

[Brian]

I give it two, three seasons at most.

Hoss tests positive for PEDs in season 5.

 

[MTM]

Hey ladies, don't marry Pa if you want to live past 30.

 

[Songbird]

Hoss tests positive for PEDs in season 5.

Perhaps you could acknowledge that yet another thing you tried to pass off as evidence of PED use, Cabrera's Hoss's history with alcohol abuse, is nothing of the kind.

 

[Joe Williams]

The episode where Little Joe was afraid of heights, so much that he left a prized rifle up on a mountain peak rather than go fetch it -- and snapped at anyone who mentioned it or suggested he retrieve it -- always stuck with me. And I'm not even particularly afraid of heights.

Meanwhile, "Hoss & the Leprechauns" is great humor.

Damn, I thought this was going to be a thread about the restaurant.

I'm not mocking you. I'm just sharing with the board my admiration for a show that's long been off the air. A show to which cultural references to show one to be living in the past but with one's self being OK with being dated and out of touch. A yearning for the good ole days if you will.

When have I been known to mock you?

 

[BTExpress]

Love the show. Could never get my head around how someone could become so rich as to own 640,000 acres, though. That's the size of 30 Manhattan islands.

Also love how everybody is armed . . . and yet nobody is safe and is basically one insult away from pissing someone off and getting shot to death.

Once they went to a color picture they lost me. The Ponderosa looks fake.

-- My wife went to high school with Dan Blocker's son Dirk.
-- Former co-worker referred to every Asian baseball player as Hop Sing.
That's all I got.
