Clarence is literally one of the few villains I've ever hated by far on Bonanza. He puts on the cheery facade but at the same time plans out revenge against Hoss in one of the most unusual ways.
I think I read somewhere, though Joe changed horses a few times during the show, Ben used the same one. Even though Lorene didn’t enjoy riding much, but he paid for keepings of his horse to the end. That is so wonderful and sweet. What a wonderful soul.
@@amirahsadre4570 Yes, the first change of horses for Joe came after some maniac killed the original horse he rode, fun fact in case you didn't know, the horse Lorne rode is the same horse James Arness rode on Gunsmoke
Does anyone remember that other episode like this where a singer followed Hoss everywhere for accidentally killing his brother? I'm surprised that they'd have two episodes so alike.
I sure like seeing again the Bonanza show I remember watching on Sunday nights growing up. Many years later riding the California Zephyr AMTRAK train that went through Reno I remembered the Ponderosa was nearby from the map shown at the start of the episodes. Thanks for placing on RUclips.
Loved seeing the mother cat and her kittens at the end. I know it had nothing to do with the storyline, but it reminded me of the pets we had when I was a kid. Nice memory!
@@brianwest2775 Adam would be the last person you try this with. He was the hardest-minded member of the family. Even more so than Ben, in some respects.
Half these episodes are the Cartwrights being generous and kindhearted while dealing with dirtbags. So Hoss accidentally killed a guy who was trying to kill him; nothing wrong with that.
And remember, the guy looked like he was about to attempt to rape the woman. That was the main issue. Both of the brothers seemed like real dirtbags. "The Smiler" was a good title. A man with a fake smile hiding a dark heart.
@@thegreyavenger2 Oh! Thank you. I was wondering why the opening credits had the "secondary" character as TOP BILLING. Thank you, again for the information..I guess I need to watch a few more episodes!
You're really enjoying this. I hope you like JESUS as much. See if you like JESUS as much by reading Matthew 7:21-29, John 14:21, Acts 2, Galatians 5:14-26.
This lady should have spoken up on how it really happened…. He draw on Hoss and he defended himself period… This guy is a nobody looking for something….
Today people pay lots of money hoping their loved one will be dry and in an air tight casket. All caskets leak and that’s why family isn’t allowed to be at the gravesite when casket is dug up and transferred to another burial site. Families will figure out lots of money was paid for nothing.
Now Hoss, so far I’ve been pretty patient with you but even though that guy was misjudging you, shouldn’t have slugged him. You’re playing right into his hands 🙌. 😱😱😱😱
Not sure how I knew it, however that fool looked and acted like a psycho, same as his fool brother. And old Hoss according to script fell right into his snare.
Kittens! 😍 Surprised me. Sam wasn't a girl's name in 1962? Strange: "Baby girl names that start with 'Sam' gained immense popularity during the 1960s and remained famous till the 1990s."
Time and time again the Cartwrights are proven honest and correct, and many times even save the town, and yet time and time again the town's people accuse and disbelieve the Cartwrights. I like this show, I grew up on this show, but the premise ( of the town's people ) is ridiculous.
Yes, that made no sense at all. They don't know what honorable people the Cartwrights are? They believe this nobody over Hoss, of all people, and believe him capable of murder and burning the wagon? Ridiculous!!
@@jarrodbarkley9061 Perhaps those people, inwardly, harbored some resentment (or envy) of the Cartwrights for this very reason. So that, in any incident or trouble involving a member of the family, they were the first to accuse him. It's regrettable indeed, but it seems to be the only reason.
Yes, I know Hoss was fearing for his life in jail, but man that was stupid of him to take the gun. He should've known Bolling had dropped it in the cell just to bait him. And the peddler was infuriatingly manipulative with his lies and phony benevolent manner.
I loved his cunning and scheming. He didn't have brute strength or gun skills or power but he used his words and charm to attack Hoss. And he almost succeeded in causing Hoss' death, just with those weapons. Brilliance if you ask me.
It beats me to see how law abiding and descent the cartwrights are and every time some thing goes wrong the same towns people are against them,and most the time the cartwrights end up saving the town n it's people smh and that sherif is a darn fool
Well done! I'm only half way through but they really did a good job creating the atmosphere and characters. (It doesn't make sense that they would so easily believe that Hoss would burn the peddler's wagon. Should have shown some people not believing it, arguing, but whatever, only so much time.) 24:07 Teaching the song was a nice touch. Wow. Creative. I'm a little disappointed about him becoming so blatant with the woman. I think that it was better when it was subtle manipulation that could be debated... Ah, they went for a gunplay ending instead of the trial. Disappointing. I would have liked to see them carry the mind play through to the trial but they fell back on gunplay. Perhaps that's what audiences want. Or they're too scared to not have any gunplay in an episode.
Starting with this episode, the Bonanza title card would be immediately accompanied by the iconic producer-writer-director credits. It would no longer be featured on its own as the previous one, (Sam Hill) was.
Seems to me it should be called the Hoss show. No one else seems to get much of a look in. Course Hoss was a great character, deserving of it but I'm also an Adam lover, where is he in these last episodes, did he upset the director?
Yea, the villains in this show often have everything going their way and then they just suddenly lose thier marbles for no reason. Usually to wrap up the plot quickly. Horrible lazy writing.
I was disappointed in that too. Could have been a very interesting trial, with her changing or being unsure of her story and the peddler watching her from the gallery. Disappointing to fall back on gunplay. Obviously that's what they thought that audiences wanted. Very uncharacteristic for Hoss to try to run. Could have dialed up his tension by having someone outside he jail window singing the song. Show him going a little crazy to make it plausible.
Also another thing, the woman goes to go see the Sharif right after ben leaves the house. He is right outside the door and she has the guy pull a knife/switch blade on her. She could scream for help! I know hes got a knife but ben right there.
Bonanza is a Spanish word that means 1. At sea, calm or serene weather. 2. Prosperity. And Ponderosa means 1. something made with great care, or the person who does it. 2 that weighs a lot.
I've watched a lot of Bonanza episodes, that at 44.00 was some of the worst writing on the shows. A person throws a gun through the window, and Hoss uses it to break out of jail. My God. any person should have known, "Im set up and leave that gun alone". Upstanding family like the Cartwright's stooping down to this level, is impossible to believe. Then the big oaf runs just like a criminal. classic blooper.
C.J. Yep. That was so out of Hoss's character. Sure he was scared, but very foolish to fall for that trick. He should've never touched the gun and told Roy, "Look, somebody dropped a gun in the cell next to mine!" Evsryone would've known it had to be Bolling the peddler who did it.
Another fine upload of Bonanza Grjngo! Hey Cartwright fans, why wasn't Haumps (Hoss) jailed in the VC jailhouse while awaiting an indictment for using deadly force against an innocent passerby? Where was Sheriff Roy Coffey for the first 2/3 of this episode? In this hilariously funny episode, the legal system fell apart. What, no VC judge available in the VC Courthouse available the following day? Riotous! Both the victim's brother (plaintiff) and the shooter's (defendant) father were guilty of witness tampering. Hoss had gone mad against the peddler, barn peasant (Scatman Carruthers) and one of the outspoken VC residents. Funny! This corrupt VC episode and the VC townsfolk were downright side splitting! Seldom did the VC townsfolk or any other township or territory where the Cartwrights made their mark or passed through had any compassion or support for the Cartwrights. Laughter ensues! Trouble and mischief usually followed the Cartwrights wherever they went. And whenever Ben used the muffled whisper to convey caring or sincerity whether indoors or out is truly fake, phony and transparent. The Cartwrights were calloused individuals and were not received well. These late 19th century ranchers' mishaps, scandals and hijinks of life in the West are priceless. The Bonanza series is sappy but the script writing and acting are first-rate. Now...on to some other episodes.
The people in Virginia City is just like people in todays time,I know it’s just a show but much as the Cartwrights do for them anytime something happen they switch an turn there backs on the Cartwrights in a heartbeat I know it’s just a show but it doesn’t take a rocket 🚀 science to see that man Bolling is full of mess it’s obvious that he’s looking for trouble an the citizens are taking his side burning a wagon they know the Cartwrights doesn’t engage in that type of behavior smh🤦♂️🤦🏽♂️
Ben was a comfort for his sons
Clarence is literally one of the few villains I've ever hated by far on Bonanza. He puts on the cheery facade but at the same time plans out revenge against Hoss in one of the most unusual ways.
The writers and actor did a brilliant job with his character, up until taking the woman hostage.
Same
Smh. I haven’t watched this episode yet damnit😂😂
Clarence pretend to forgive hoss but he has intentions to get back at hoss
I remembered this episode. Hoss couldn't take it
Great episode. I love the colors of Ben’s horse. He is so gorgeous.
Beautiful is right.
That would be Buck, Adam's horse is Sport, Hoss's is Chub, Joe's is Cochise
I think I read somewhere, though Joe changed horses a few times during the show, Ben used the same one. Even though Lorene didn’t enjoy riding much, but he paid for keepings of his horse to the end. That is so wonderful and sweet. What a wonderful soul.
@@adrian72300 thanks, I only knew Cochise and Chubs. I don’t think I have heard the other two being addressed.
@@amirahsadre4570 Yes, the first change of horses for Joe came after some maniac killed the original horse he rode, fun fact in case you didn't know, the horse Lorne rode is the same horse James Arness rode on Gunsmoke
It amazes me how the towns people, in these stories, are always believing the strangers over one of their own!!
you put that out there just like is
Media needs someone to feed and people need feeding. It’s always about the drama.
Does anyone remember that other episode like this where a singer followed Hoss everywhere for accidentally killing his brother? I'm surprised that they'd have two episodes so alike.
That why it is a sin to want wat u naber got
People are so fickle.

Thank you for watching! Glad you enjoyed it! 🤠👌🎬❤
I remember seeing the signs driving to the hyatt in incline village
That little worm is very passive aggressive. A lot of people operate like that.....
Reminds me of the villain from many movies, like Burke in Aliens, totally insincere, smarmy.
"To many Michael, to many."
I think it's called manipulation one of the worst people...manipulative
I have to admit the sons were respectful to their father
People like that exist, it's quite a skill to seem innocent and be so vindictive, cunning and conniving.
Some of whom hold office.

Loved seeing the mother cat and her kittens at the end. I know it had nothing to do with the storyline, but it reminded me of the pets we had when I was a kid. Nice memory!
👍🙂
☘️
Yeah, the cats were a nice touch. You probably wouldn't know that mother and kittens were the Catwright family
❤❤❤
That manipulation wouldn't work on Adam and Joe they would be singing with the dude. The smiler would be so angry with that reverse psychology 😂
A mental tug of war between Adam and the peddler would have been good but difficult.
@@brianwest2775 Adam would be the last person you try this with. He was the hardest-minded member of the family. Even more so than Ben, in some respects.
Bolling is one of the creepiest villains I seen on the show.
Just because of his apparently inofensive attitude. People like him are exactly the worst.
Got laid off at the factory today. When times get hard, you think differently. First thing I noticed was how nice that coffin is 🙂
It was very noticeable, for a reason.
Cartwrights bought it.
Half these episodes are the Cartwrights being generous and kindhearted while dealing with dirtbags.
So Hoss accidentally killed a guy who was trying to kill him; nothing wrong with that.
Muito Bom seriado bonaza
And then wouldn't let him bury the body 🤔
And remember, the guy looked like he was about to attempt to rape the woman. That was the main issue. Both of the brothers seemed like real dirtbags. "The Smiler" was a good title. A man with a fake smile hiding a dark heart.
@@janejones5362 on an owned piece of land
Dirtbags is the perfect word 😄
I haven't seen a lot of Bonanza episodes but this one stands out for some reason.
@@hanoc101 I'm conflicted with this episode because someone lost two sons. I wish it had a different ending.
I love the mother cat and her kittens. 😻
Me too! Nice ending. 😺 ♥
Same I love cats
hoss sure knows how to let guilt get to him when its really not necessary
With such an attitude, that guy could get even make a saint lose his patience, let alone a gentle giant's like Hoss.
I love Bonanza!
Thanks for watching! We also recommend this movie: ruclips.net/video/EqP1yJkT0mM/видео.html
Bonanza wasn't the same after Adams departure. And sudden passing of Hoss was terribly sad . Hoss was like big papa bear 2 quite a few on the show .
WoW. Dan Blocker had top billing in the Opening Credits!!
He must have been a big deal!
They alternated every episode the one who was first was the one who the episode featured the most

Great episode. It almost seems like the basis for Cape Fear 1991.
Woa, early sighting of "Scatman" Crothers..
That guy singing in the Cartwright's barn was Scatman Crothers. Dick Halloran from The Shining. I thought he looked familiar.
Hoss was great ❤
That was some sadistic passive aggressive behaviour.
Sad show depicted how cruel someone could be.
The only person NOT invited to stay at Ponderosa 🤔
Hoss is a dope! Picking up the gun!!

The look Ben gives Adam when he takes the rifle from Hoss's hands: that's the look a man who would hit his adult son if needed.

Cartwrights were successful and rich. People frequently are envious and want to pull them down.
first episode with the extended first act intro!
Great show love it watched it first time round in the 60s👍
I was so fed up with that song by the
end of the episode😅😅😅😅😅 !!!!!
Feel good show. Before Hoss can be stabbed, Ben Cartwright appears and shot Bowling.
It seems to me that Hoss kept asking for it, by not staying away from that Smiler.
That Guy really mad Hoss very Angry!🤬😡
Love this show, always ❤did!
All of those people in Virginia City knew Hoss and yet they believed the wirds of a mentally insane man.
You mean that guy couldn't tell a female cat from a male cat.
Hoss my hero #1
Yes, I know Hoss was fearing for his life in jail, but man that was stupid of him to take the gun. He should've known Bolling had dropped it in the cell just to bait him.
And the peddler was infuriatingly manipulative with his lies and phony benevolent manner.

16:27, Bolling sets fire to his own wagon on purpose.
The coffin sure was fancy
It beats me to see how law abiding and descent the cartwrights are and every time some thing goes wrong the same towns people are against them,and most the time the cartwrights end up saving the town n it's people smh and that sherif is a darn fool
I love Hoss !!!!!!!!!
He should have let that stupid woman get hurt by the first brother !!!!
Just like in today's society just leave them alone.
Coffee is such a Bell End
I liked the ending.
This one had a creepy vibe to it.
Very much so. Unsettling.
That Guy was a lying Sneaky Creep. Hoss knew He was.

No mention of this an early appearance of Scatman Crothers in this episode of Bonanza in the write up.
The SCATMAN!! 😁
That guy is a pure _hit starter plan and simple
The sheriff was a good friend to the cartwrights
I knew the man had tricks up his sleeves
Sometimes it’s better to just mind your own business. No need to be a ‘hero’!
Well, you can't allow some jerk to pester a woman. It could easily go much worse for her if a real man doesn't step in and come to her defense.
After watching this show I always got to have drink u no to wash down the trail dust
Seems to me it should be called the Hoss show. No one else seems to get much of a look in. Course Hoss was a great character, deserving of it but I'm also an Adam lover, where is he in these last episodes, did he upset the director?
The show ended about 6 months after Hoss passed away. Everybody loves Hoss. Pernell (Adam) Roberts left the show in 1965.
The show was going well, in a creepy way, until the end when the villain changed strategies.
Yea, the villains in this show often have everything going their way and then they just suddenly lose thier marbles for no reason. Usually to wrap up the plot quickly. Horrible lazy writing.
I was disappointed in that too. Could have been a very interesting trial, with her changing or being unsure of her story and the peddler watching her from the gallery.
