Does anyone else watch this show? Maybe remember it while it was still running?

(For anyone who doesn't know, Bonanza is a western that began in 1959 and ran for fourteen years, during which it was a hit show. It still has many fans, some of whom tend to be a bit obsessive. Like me ;) )

So, what does everyone else think of this wonderful show? For the record, my favorite character is Ben.

Ah, Bonanza! I used to watch this show ALL the time! :-D I don't even remember how I got into it.... but for a while there I was seriously obsessed with it. ;) Although I have sort of drifted away, but still. It was a very nice show... some of the eps were amazing (especially the comedies with Joe and Hoss and then when they would get Adam involved. A Knight to Remember was always one of my faves)! lol Although the first six seasons were about all I ever saw... and I liked Adam anyway so it all worked out. :P

Heh, my little sister is obsessed with old westerns (she's got at least 4 posters of Roy Rogers in her bedroom) so I've definitely seen this show. Many, many times.

Ben was always my favorite too... though I absolutely adored the dorky/cliche/ridiculously hatted Little Joe. Michael Landon, for all the cheesy roles he got cast in, was definitely a brilliant actor. MY favorite episodes were where little Joe would discover something, and everyone else would be like "Aah... silly little Joe... always imagining things..." and then there would be some great crime committed and Little Joe would go, "TOLD YOU."

And what was the name of their cook? I always liked him too...

Ah,yes,Bonanza!I LOVE 50s westerns,esp. Gunsmoke,Rawhide..and Bonanza!
My favorite characters are Hoss and Candy..although I liked Griff.I've seen parts of all 14 seasons...9-11 are my very favorite years,but I like them all.Good,fun show.:D



Anyone ever see the "sequel/prequel" show "The Ponderosa"?I really like it..although its very different from Bonanza.

Yeah! Been watching it a lot lately. It's good.

Little Joe is the best.
