I love how when a person's emotional content can blind our common sense, and our ability to think critically, until faced with a similar situation and equal pressure, and viola, we realize something new. As well I appreciate when Lem said we always have something to be grateful for.
Are you serious?! The setup was completely awful. Totally unbelievable (and I mean that literally.) The coup de grace was the woman letting One...Two...Three different guys walk into an ambush - made the sheriff practically handing his gun to the villain in the jail seem almost realistic. This was TERRIBLE.

Love these old shows. If you watch enough of this show, you see how they "recycle " actors/actresses in various episodes. The sister/daughter in this episode also appears in an episode as a mountain girl whose grandfather dies and she discovers she is related to a wealthy family.
They are played by 2 different girls. The girl in The Guilty was Ann Benton and the mountain girl's name was Nina Shipman. But u r right about recycling characters. The girl that played on The Stranger as Hoss's girlfriend, Margie Owen's, was the same one that played Laura, Adam's girl, in a few episodes. Then she played in The Tax Collector as the tax collector's wife.
they really ought to chose a new sheriff, he gets tricked as many times as the girls that get involved with the Cartwright's get killed, so easily tricked. but its a show and we do enjoy it. thanks for the upload
@Joseph Karuma. You obviously missed watching the episode where Sheriff Roy Coffee came up with a brilliant plan to capture a notorious group of 5 bank robbers without any shooting! His plan worked.
That's the same thing I said,when he got shot it looked like he was injured but when they walked him to the jail cell he was walking like he wasn't shot at all.
The way I rationalized it was Grote didn't actually get shot but the bullet went past his ear and startled him off the horse. The slight injury could've been from the fall. Minor sores basically.
I just watched back to back episodes where the sheriff ended up locked up in his own jail both times (Episode 67). Maybe it's time for Old Roy to retire 😂

There were some flaws in this episode. Ben Cartwright would have told Sheriff Coffee immediately that Jack Groat shot Jimmy in the back. Then, Sheriff Coffee would have arranged for a jury trial and have Groat sentenced to hang. That way, Lem Partridge would not have been so angry at Ben.
@@billh.5360 The bullet hitting him in the back is not very important legally. The important point is he was diving for the gun. However, since he was trying to save someone else from being murdered he would be acquitted. That is a legal defense to murder.

Charles Maxwell (Jack Groat in this episode) was in not less than 10 Bonanza episodes in various roles (all as a bad guy). From the first season until nearly the end of the series.
I'm getting sick and tired of some fans saying that Sheriff Roy Coffee was an incompetent and clumsy Sheriff. Anyone who says that needs to watch the episode where Sheriff Roy Coffee came up with a brilliant plan to capture a group of notorious bank robbers without any shooting. His plan worked.
Lynette, yes I remember that episode where Roy captured all those outlaws by outsmarting them. It was a great episode. But let's face it. In this one, Roy wants to prove the blanket is clean by walking right up to Grote in the jail cell, putting himself in an obvious position of being overpowered. That was "less than brilliant" of Sherriff Roy Coffee.
Yes，sheriff Coffee was a clever man. He had captured a gang of robbers without firing a gun. No one got huft. The episode was called "No less man " if my memory is correct.
This show used many 20th words and phrases. For example, Carolyn told Little Joe, ".. I think you were driving too fast." Gunsmoke and Rifleman, for example, were more careful about this. I must come clean--I prefer both over Bonanza. Lem's house was the same set for Ben's house, just with a different front porch. Just an Ok episode. Just watched it because I really like Bonanza.
@edo edo There is an episode of Bonanza when Joe was abducted and Ben said to Hoss and Adam "Joe's been kidnapped " .Now I'm sure in the 1880's or whatever decade Bonanza is set in the word kidnapped wasn't in the English language. Kidnapped wasn't used in the English language until the Lindbergh baby tragedy which was in 1932.
@@williegordon7899 Kidnapped had been used as a term, long before the 1860s. However, other more modern words and phrases did sneak in from time to time. Pretty hard not to do if you're writing 100 years later, and you have to produce a show each week.
No the houses were very different. They layout and structure was were not the same at all. For example Lem's house had a wall right in front of the door and Ben's didn't. The fireplace was shaped differently and closer too the door in Lem's. The outside was different too.
@@neilwaldock6272 Not really that hard to do. Should take about half an hour for one person to check the whole script for any words like that. Half of a man hour is nothing.
You need to watch the episode where Sheriff Roy Coffee came up with a brilliant plan to capture a notorious group of bank robbers without any shooting. It worked too.
@@williegordon7899 A ridiculous hollywood stunt that wouldn't really work. Dropping to the ground doesn't move you very much at all so it's still really easy for him to hit you but it does make it much harder for the person dropping to get off an accurate shot.
Why should Ben Cartwright feel guilty when it was his friend's son who grabbed the gun ? What could he have done under the circumstances ? The Sheriff can start arguing with the prisoner over the given blanket with the prison door unlocked.. Unbelieving.
When the Cartwrights entered her house n asked the girl what was wrong she could have silently pointed to the spot where the rogue was hiding n they would still b alert. Time for sheriff to retire. Old Slow n senile.
Excellent until Ben tries to clear the house but stops half way through and the girl doesn't run out the door. Would have been cool if we see Groat sneak out of the back of the house while Ben is looking for him, then Ben really does confirm that the house is empty, put away his gung and beckons Adam to come in but as Adam does that Groat appears behind him and warns Ben to drop his gun unless he too wants to lose a son. I think that would have been cool. How would you have written it?
It's not the sheriff's job to hand out punishment and even terrorize people in his jail. If he hadn't said anything, nothing would've happened. Roy made Groat want to escape and was also responsible for him escaping. There's also no chance for anyone to know if the boy even knows how to handle a gun. It's simply a situation where the boy can shoot if he reaches the gun. If he hadn't done anything, no one would've died.
lol "terrorize" people. Even by today's ridiculous standards he didn't do anything close to terrorizing him. And you can't prove a negative. You can't know what would have happened if people wouldn't have done anything, but he made it very clear he intended to kill Lem as soon has he got there. That's legally reason enough to shoot him, since that threat would seem credible to a reasonable person.
That's so silly at 39 minutes when they are at the door. Why wouldn't you just go outside with the cartwrights.? And leave the bad guy in the house. And then after they shot the bad guy and got the drop on him we're not just take him to town why would you bring a sheriff out there
Film music lovers... Composer, David Rose here has been stealing Leonard Bernstein's theme to on the waterfront shamelessly for the entire duration of this episode. Have a listen to the real thing. No wonder he's only a TV composer.
I think Bens' exfriend was right could've igg the boy off the gun or say no jimmy or shake his head Ben sure would've did something if it were one of his boys fact
If he had said something it would have warned the gunman and made it even harder for the boy to get off a shot. Easy to criticize when it wasn't you there.
