@@clarencemoore5651 Get real; compare Bonanza to Deadwood. Especially how they portray women of all types and Chinese characters. Bonanza; a world where there's no such thing as prostitutes and Asians except in the kitchen.
My late mother in her 90s, with severe Alzheimers, STILL remembered the cast of Bonanza. Our whole family watched it in the 60s...THAT is how memorable the show was to us.
The bonanza house was on a set in a studio. Never used a real house. Lauren Greene built a replica for his own home and the house your showing was in a park for sightseeing close to Lake Tahoe. Even some of the outdoor filming was a set.
I am 70 I have recently been watching all seasons of Bonanza my favorite episode was the Legacy when ben Sons thought he had died and each one went after the three people they thought were responsible for his murder
Bonanza was sponsored by Chevy. A huge Chevy dealership opened in the town we lived. Lorne Greene attended the Grand opening in costume. I was about 7, and got to meet and shake hands with Lorne Greene.
My favourite episodes are The Jackknife, and The Ride, both in Season 3. Of the lighter-hearted episodes, Bank Run (S2), and The Flapjack Contest (S6). Favourite Cartwright, Adam.
Every show that featured "Adam" was my favorite! Growing up, dad would religiously watch Bonanza every time it was on TV, consequently I had access to any and all Bonanza airings. I developed a "crush" on Adam Cartright! He was so easy on the eyes! 👀
he spoilt the show cause he couldnt act well at all or work the scripts good enough, plus the was bald which was a big problem so they realised they didnt need him and got rid of him the show was so much much better after that.
They wore the same clothes because it made it easier to edit scenes. I have a book on Bonanza explaining the reasoning behind things such as this. If they needed a scene where LittleJoe and Hoss were galloping across the territory on horseback, they could easily add in a old clip. Saved time and money.
@@lanathomas2194I too also have a book on the history of Bonanza, it's hunter green in coloring with white lettering, and it's entitled, A Reference Guide to Television 's Bonanza, Bruce R.Leiby and Linda F. Leiby. McFarland & Company, Inc., Publishers. Very enjoyable, very informative. I just love it ❤👍💯
I have been to Tahoe and have seen where they filmed the ponderosa ranch part At the time I was there I couldn't go inside to look at it but it was very beautiful. I was there in the 90s
He was animated enough during the first couple of seasons. He left a job that didn't engage him any more. Most of us have done that. I have seen clips of a guest role he took sometime afterwards on The Virginian, and see all the vitality there that was missing in him during the last season of B. Yes, it was another cowboy, but it wasn't Adam Cartwright, that 'quarter of a character' as he put it. He enjoyed a long career as a freelance actor, despite the grief levelled at him because he dared to choose variety over stardom and money. Good for him. Whether he regretted that decision, or not, only he can truly know.
My favourite episode was when Hoss got amnesia and didn’t recognize little Joe,Adam and father Ben,Hoss almost became a (son)to a mother who had lost her child and was eternally heartbroken,she convinced Hoss to live with her and her husband as a replacement son,all the while Father Ben Cartwright was looking for his son and found him with this couple that had found Hoss with no memories of Ben and his brothers,at first Hoss didn’t wish to go back home to his family,in the end Hoss gets his memory back a bids a sad farewell to the nice couple and farther and son ride back to the Ponderosa.
The ponderosa Ranch Replica house in lake Tahoe that sold for 38 million isn't where they filmed the original Bonanza episodes. The Ponderosa Ranch house was merely a Ranch house prop on set inside a studio . Sometimes they would show an outside shot of the real replica house in lake Tahoe but use the studio set house for everything else. I visited the Ranch house replica as a tourist in 2002 before they closed it to the public soon after.
Thank you for clarifying that. I was about to make the same comment till I came across yours. I'm sure many original Bonanza fans know that, too, but sites such as this that get a basic thing like that wrong should clean up their act, and do the research.
If I'm not mistaken, I believe the beginning where they play the theme song and the cast rides up is filmed in Nevada but the majority of the show was at the studio in California.
I have several favorite episodes. A man to admire The deserter The storm No less a man Hoss and the leprechauns The decision The gift of water Many more i can't think of! Most of these episodes I watch daily.
It still is a good looking show to watch. What's even better is being a period show with no modern things to reference, you cant really tell when production happened if you didn't already know
My favorite shows are mainly the comedies in the early seasons. I never take interest in episodes after Adam left. But some good dramatic stuff too. I recently looked at the flashback episode in which Ben meets Hoss' mother. It works very, very well. The best, imo, of the "Ben's Wives" entries. A dynamite episode is The Decision, with pre-Star Trek DeForest Kelley as a doctor condemned to die. And then there's The Crucible with Pernell Roberts and Lee Marvin. Oh, yeah: and then the best history lesson from the series, The Philip Deidesheimer Story; that was excellent. (I don't think they had location shots in that one).
I have Seasons 1 to 11. It sure would be great if they could release 12 13 and 14 on DVD. I did watch the last 3 Seasons on U Tube a year ago. Heck if Gunsmoke has all 20 of their Seasons out by now. Then Bonanza should have all 14 seasons out as well.
The history of these movie ranches is almost mythic. The Spahn Ranch story is a shattering heartbreaker. My thoughts did a bankshot to director Roman Polanski and his controversial behavior. You can't exonerate him for the stuff he did in subsequent years, but he had so many horrific traumas repressed in his psyche - from his parents having been murdered in Nazi death camps when he was 9 to the brutal disgusting murder of his beautiful pregnant wife in 1969 as mentioned in the video. Strange indirect bedfellows for Bonanza.
The first Bonanza episode was entitled "Get Off My Land!" Episode two was "Get Off My Land! II." Episode three was " Get Off My Land! III" The last episode 10 years later was entitled "Get off My Land For the Last Time will Ya!"
Does anyone recognize what and by whom is the painting hung above the side table just inside the front entrance to the Bonanza house? I would love to get a copy!
I'm currently watching it for the first time in my 50+ years. I'm in season 10. I think Candy is a great improvement over that stick in the mud Adam. The more serious ones are my favorite
The movie set and house in Lake Tahoe was sold over 20 years ago and there was never a private road that went to the lake as you had the cross a two-lane road before you went to the lake been there many times
The replica built by Lorne Greene in Mesa was a scaled-down version of the one that sold for $38 million. The larger one had 9 bedrooms while the one in Mesa only has 2.
I visited the original ranch house in Tahoe. I was so disappointed because it was very small. They said they used wide angle lenses to make it look large. It was a shock.
I love bonanza, I think I watch this more than my other show with Charlie Sheen 2 1/2 men. I think my 2 favorite episodes were #1 the fighters and #2 tin badge. In fact I guess I will watch them now. REST IN HEAVEN GUYS, I love you all and hopefully I’ll be there with you. 🙏🏻
😂 You and have the same taste. I am from Jamaica. I discovered Bonanza about three months ago and have been watching since then. I am addicted to 2 1/2 men
great propaganda...the set used for most of the shooting was near Tahoe I visited a few times before it was sold off to a developer Spahn wasnt used for much

100% a fan even to this day....
Always and forever
I love every show and have seen most a dozen times.
Im 43 and just started watching this show about 3 years ago. Honestly these old shows are 50X better than anything created today.
What nonsense; take a look at Ozark or Better Call Soul. But maybe you want kiddie shows with cliches.
That's so true somewhere down the line we lost creativity.

'The Creeping Terror' was directed by a fellow called Vic Savage(who was also the star) and earned a wopping 1.9 on IMDB.
I was there years ago and it is so beautiful, we were allow to go inside and the thing i remember was Little Joe's green swede jacket.

Pernell never seemed happy doing this show. He always acted like it was a chore to do certain scenes. Maybe this was not the ideal role for him.
He was animated enough during the first couple of seasons. He left a job that didn't engage him any more. Most of us have done that.

So many people thought that they filmed it in Nevada. But it clearly says in the credits filmed at paramount studios in California.
They may have done outside filming around that are but not that house.
If I'm not mistaken, I believe the beginning where they play the theme song and the cast rides up is filmed in Nevada but the majority of the show was at the studio in California.
There were a couple of opening scenes ,but the one your referring to was in front of Lake Tahoe.@@stevezentner4161
I have several favorite episodes.
A man to admire
The deserter
The storm
No less a man
Hoss and the leprechauns
The decision
The gift of water
Many more i can't think of!
Most of these episodes I watch daily.
I loved the character Hoss. It was alway great when him and little Joe bantered back and forth
Glad to know that you love Hoss. Which cast member comes in at second place?
It still is a good looking show to watch. What's even better is being a period show with no modern things to reference, you cant really tell when production happened if you didn't already know

Favorite episode???? Without a doubt it's Hoss and the Leprechauns

I don't know it's pretty close with him flying of a cliff with feathered wings. Oh and don't forget him in the bunny suit
Hmmmmm not what I rxpected
