Storyline:
A drought has ravaged the flat lands and Hoss stops to water at the Ganther farm where Jason Ganther is attempting to dig a well and get to water which he believes is just a few further feet down. Hoss decides to help him and they begin drilling for water. Meanwhile ranchers in the high country have started up a vigilante group to keep families from leaving the flat lands and settling in the high country where water is plentiful. Disgusted by the vigilantes the entire Cartwright family soon begins helping the Ganthers. Tensions mount between the two groups as the Cartwrights race against time to find the water before violence erupts. Written on IMDb.com
Reviews:
"About the only interesting thing about this episode is that Majel Barrett and James Doohan are both in it, although Doohan doesn't have much of a part. Majel Barrett looks much better in her natural hair color, without her bleached-blonde Star Trek do.
There's a drought on and families in the flat lands are getting ready to move off to greener pastures, except one landowner who refuses to leave and is determined that a water spring is just below the surface. The Cartwrights help the owner's family. For some reason that makes no realistic sense, several men, landowners in the higher lands form a vigilante group to stop any families attempting to move through to more fertile ground. And yeah, that's about it.
The spunky little girl (an obvious precursor to the smart-mouth sitcom kids), daughter to the family they're helping, was the most annoying." Written by uber_geek on IMDb.com
"The coincidental presence of Star Trek prime regulars James Doohan and Majel Barrett are an interesting side note to this Bonanza story about some homesteaders looking for water and the local cattlemen not sharing their's.
Barrett is the wife of homesteader Royal Dano who has been persuaded by the Cartwright sons to dig for some underground sources of water. All three of the boys work hard at getting that underground water to the surface.
In the meantime a nice little range war is threatening to break out instigated by Paul Birch and Harry Lauter with the cattlemen. James Doohan is one of the other homesteaders.
A little hard work, a little faith, and some different ideas and it's mission accomplished by the Cartwrights." Written by bkoganbing on IMDb.com

I’m 18 my grandfather showed this to my dad me and my dad watch it and I will watch this with my kids when I have some
They need to see Springtime, too.
A tradition that passes from generation to generation
Nice tradition ❤
Sounds like your grandpa and your dad did a fine job raising their kids
It’s so good for you to see wholesome shows like this! God bless your sweet heart!❤
Notice how each Cartwright made a contribution to the task, which ultimately led to a successful outcome: Hoss with the Auger, Adam with the pipe, Joe with the mule, and Ben with the windmill. A great example of the value of cooperation and teamwork.
Joe only said about the mule, he didn't also say about the crossbar
Yep ....got that from the get go.....
This is such a quiet, engrossing episode that builds in a unique and heartwarming way. Very, very special!
Bonanza had the most heart warming stories of any TV westerns. Ben Cartwright had an incredible amount of kindness and compassion for his neighbors and fellow man. His patience and understanding were approaching godliness at times. He was always willing to share his fortune with those less fortunate.
To bad it's just a show and not real life
lil kids love to help in real life
Most neighbours don’t even know their other neighbours name most of the time.
@@youaresomeone3413 Yea the way the other ranchers acted is much closer to the truth.
In the movies anyway
Every episode touches my heart. Great stories. Bonanza teaches us a lot of family values. God bless Bonanza and the whole team.
My favourite supporting character is definitely Sherriff Roy Coffee because he never gets swayed by the crowds and always goes by the book. He's always steadfast in his ways, and carefully balances his roles as sherrif, father, citizen, and friend.
Ingenuity, faith, working hard together, and humour. Another great episode.
The Hoss dropping little joe is definitely the humour 😂
This episode is a good example of what it means to help out your neighbor in need!
It’s one of those movies you don’t want it to finish, and you go to bed with a nice warm feeling in your heart!
🤠👌🎬🍿
Patricia Valenzuela Hello 👋 Bonanza was not a movie 🎥 it was a 📺 show 🙂 June 17,2021
Watch little house on the prairie, the best!
This is not a movie it's a tv show
I'm glad at the end they realized Linda's pinwheel was Ben's inspiration
This episode is relevant even today
Very great episode.I love all the Cartwrigths.Ben and the Boys have very good moral values.the love and kindness toward each other, their great respect for their father and neighbors.love this show.thank you for uploading.
As a man that lives in the Rocky Mountains of Montana I completely understand this episode
My favorite part is when the water came gushing out. : )
Love watching these shows with my Dad, unfortunate he's passed but I still watch these in honor of him.
Thankyou America for giving us the Old Wild West. I'm still delirious.
I love the opening scene when they're almost out of water but still offer some of what they have left to Hoss and his horse cause that's just how people were back then. Contracts were made on a handshake and a stranger in need was never turned away
The "way people were back then" also includes those who would shoot desperate people who were only trying to find a way to survive.
@@AndrewVelonis You're real fun at parties, aren'tcha? 🙄
@@bethanycampione3558 i mean he's not entirely wrong
Maybe not the quote-unquote best episode, but by far my favorite 😊Everything that endeared me to Bonanza shines in this episode. Love how it highlights the strengths of each of the Ponderosa boys: Hoss's bighearted idealism, Adam's observant and tactical brilliance, Joe's playful creativity, Ben's fierce moral fiber. At the end of the day, this episode (like the series as a whole) is about a family who loves each other, supports each other, works hard together, plays together, and ultimately does what's right together.
Very well said!
Prop crew had a blast with this one!
I ❤this episode...thank you for sharing.
I knew it was just a story but I didnt know why I was also 😀 when I saw water coming out.
I love this episode, and am watching it for the second time in a week. I love how each member of the Cartright family came up with a different solution into finding the water.
❤️🎬
Technically it would be more accurate to say they each came up with a part of the overall solution.
Wow another absolute stellar episode of Bonanza. This one really touches the heart & soul. It's almost Iike that old saying. the Lord helps those who help themselves. And putting your Trust and faith in God and our Lord Jesus. When television shows were just so great to watch.
yep
My favorite western, my favorite episode.
Amen❣️🙏❤️
A TV show reflects the generation it was made and produced in. While episodes like this are great and touching one mustn't forget that some of the earliest shows were still made when society was at its lowest with racism and discrimination and has made a comeback in the present.
While this show was a great classic, with a talented cast, great but sometimes incomplete stories, interesting characters, and life lessons we can relate to....we mustn't forget that it was made during a time when man was dehumanizing his fellow man. Something we must still fight and defeat in the present.
@@reidhirsh3338 Yes Mr. Hirsh. I very much understand your point. I don't think alot of us will ever forget the dehumanizing of other races. I'm all too familiar with alot of that which happened even before my time. I've seen alot of movies which showed me the ugliness that took place. It was really sad of what happened to alot of blacks, Mexicans alike. I am even ashamed of alot of my white ancestors. And watching and enjoying shows like Bonanza episodes doesn't mean I forget. Hoss on Bonanza was very much against racism. As alot of us are. I am no racist. We're all children of our most high preacher God. And that's the way I feel.
I LOVE Bonanza I've been watching evercinse I was a little girl in France.
Now you can conveniently watch them wherever you want! 🤠✌📺🍿
Yet another episode where future Star Trek players appear together. This is the first one where two regulars appear!
That's right. James Doohan played Montgomery "Scotty" Scott who was the engineer and Majel Barrett played the nurse at first and then she was the computer voice.
I recognized James Doohan right away, I didn't know it was Majel Barrett until the closing credits.
Majel Barrett was Roddenberrys wife
Watching this episode for the umpteenth time.
It was an absolute 🎉 pleasure 🎉 to see a bit of Majel Barrett in this episode. I am a big fan of her. Most of you are probably fans too. She is part and parcel to one of the most recognizable and highest-grossing media franchises of all time. She is considered the First Lady of it…, did all the computer voices till 2009…,it might help to know her married name or one of her many series roles. Majel Barrett-Rodenberry or Lwaxana Troi. 😅
Besides the saddle stiff, this is one of my favorite episodes.
This show takes me back home I used to watch it with my grandfather may he rest in peace
Very interesting western well done Cartwright family and the farmer
Little Joe 😂😂😅😅and this little girl
Later on, both Majel Barrett and James Doohan beamed up to the Enterprise.
@@murphynapoleon ELE está certo.O James apareceu na cena em que ele estava junto com duas mulheres, em cima de uma CARROÇA.
Star Trek well represented in this great Episode: James Doohan (Scotty) and Majel Barrett (Nurse Chapel).
Majel Barrett was also the computer voice in "Star Trek" and she was married to Gene Roddenberry.
Joe getting owned from 25:02 on is one of the funniest moments in the show.
Wouldn't it be beneficial to all if Bonanza and all there episodes were reproduced for the generations of today to enjoy ! Of course the actors of the Cartwright's would have to play the exact mannerisms, characters, morals, empathy, wisdom, fairness, and strength of the original characters ! Loved every character , named my son Adam , Adam Cartwright was the mysterious brother, a thinker, always six moves ahead of the others on a chess board ( so to speak ) and had a faster draw than his little brother Joe LOL, that was never gonna be proven LOL ! Yeah , loved Bonanza, father and sons ! Showing how to behave and do things the morally right way .
No need to reproduce them, they're right here. I just watched one.
I love seeing the brothers interact with Lindy, it's super sweet 🥰🥰
She had one big crush on Little Joe! Following him around, annoying him, then pretending she didn't like him at all. But it was a huge dollop of puppy love!
@@murphynapoleon I love it when people come on and put the backstories in. Thanks!
@@murphynapoleon Royal Dano also played a rejected preacher in an episode of "The Rifleman."
she was incredibly annoying
In my country Lindy is a boy's name.
Majel Barrett and James Doohan pre Star Trek! Cool!
Star Trek's Scotty and Nurse Chapel go back in time to study ancient American West. Notice they did not "interfere".
I feel stupid. I forgot Marjel Barrett was Nurse Chapel
That's the prime directive at work.
@@scotthamp384 didn't pick up the face at first but definitely her voice
@@chrismc410 I'm not used to Chapel
@Bobpourri. Majel Barrett was also the computer voice in "Star Trek." She married Gene Roddenberry.
Two star trek actors! Cool
So do I!! You know not too long ago " gunsmoke " tv show was also uploaded maybe the rights to the series ran out! Anyway enjoy this series always loved " bonanza " especially the ones with " Adam Cartwright "!!!
0,
What a heart warming episode!
They need to have that little girl walk in front of Hoss with a pie when he's pushing that auger! LOL
As actors they really portrayed genuine smiles and a "thank you Heavenly Father" face when that water started pumping clean clear water. Makes you realize how many folks lived this in their real lives not as actors but genuinely desperate and welling for water. Love the dedication and passion here
that was an absolutely wonderful episode..
Great episode. Royal Dano as the farmer makes this episode imo. this had me looking for other movies/shows with him in it.
I sure got a jolt when watching the closing credits to Gift of Water. I recognized the actress playing Lindy as the actress who played Maureen Beebe in the movie Misty, and Royal Dano playing her father Jason. I saw him on The Big Valley in an episode called Hide the Children. What I, a big fan of Star Trek TOS, did not recognize were Majel Barrett, the actress who played Nurse Chapel, played Lindy's mother, or James (Scotty) Doohan, who played one of the cowboys. This is why I appreciate people like Grjngo who include them whereas too many others leave them out.
My favorite episode ever.
Amazing to see another actor in the form of James Doohan who would go on to play Scotty on Star Trek make an appearance on Bonanza alongside DeForest Kelly(Bones)in the Honor of Cochise episode and Leonard Nimoy(Spock) in the Ape episode .
Absolute stellar episode a little faith, belief, and hard work, the lesson here is never giving up, the vacuum will answer itself. It's physics in other words E=MC 2 rd, emotions are equal to mass, mass is emotional content which equals effect is equal to cause, the cause is the vacuum of needing what's always substance which in this case is water. I've always love sitcoms like Bonanza, and other great sitcoms, Big Valley, Wagon Train, Rifle Man, Gunsmoke, and the like. Thank you to this channel.
I love 💕 the faith the mother 👵🏻 and daughter have in their father 👴 😊😊😊😊
Little Joe met his match lol.
And now the West Coast USA is going through one of the worst droughts ever. Good episode, with some ideas to think about.
Got to wondering if working on Bonanza was a prerequisite to Star Trek lol. So many great actors!
23:35 hearing Joe yelp as Hoss drops him hilarious and cute 😂
Lindy ganther was played by Pam Smith she stared Ieave it to beaver a film called misty,
I can't find if she's still alive though 🤔
I wonder how many different episodes of how many different series Royal Dano appeared in. Never a leading man, he got as much screen time as some of the giants of the industry. And though he generally played the meek as the milquetoast character he also occasionally played the heavy. He was equally good at either. Too bad series like this are ancient history, never to be made again. "Modern" TV leaves me cold for the most part. What today compares?
I specially loved this episode for appearances of James Doohan “Scotty“ Chief engineer in Star Trek and Royal Dano the farmer who was looking for underground water by making an Artesian Well, interestingly he played in The Rifleman looking for underground water through Water Dowsing by a forked shape stick of a Willow tree has anyone seen that episode “A matter of Faith” ? him being the Co-Star as a rain maker !?
I recognized James Doohan from Star Trek too.
This was my FAVORITE episode of Bonanza! I loved it, and all the detail they did. So good
Great movies like this help us appreciate the past and its hardships. It's too bad some humans today have their hearts set on greed and hatred. Some say the World is civilized but I think we are thousands of years away from true civilization. Civilized Humans do not hurt or hate each other based on whatever scale we measure or judge each other.
Excellent episode. Everyone was stellar. Scripting first-rate. Many thanks!
Thanks for watching, happy you enjoyed it.
I absolutely love all the old Bonanzas. Can you also upload Gunsmoke???
Wow loved this episode of bonanza
My favorite episode
Thats awesome! 🤠👌🎬🍿
In those days neighbors depended on each other. Wish I had that farmers optimism. He just wouldn't quit. When you don't give up, and keep trying even after repeated failure, sometimes you do find a way. There's an old saying "where there's a will there's a way". Lot of truth in it.
Perseverance frequently wins out over optimism. Combine them and you have a winner.
Am I the only one that's catching some "That's what she said" moments in this show?
Gracias por permitirnos mirar Bonanza
I am surprised Little Joe kept his temper. Smart asses threatening a Cartwright on the Ponderosa would have been cruising for a bruising.
He did have help from Hoss
@@scotthamp384 And Adam.
Wonderful, some people really hv faith in God ! 👏👏😍🥰😘👍👌👌⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Yes indeed!
What a beautiful uplifting story...such great stories and such fine, fine actors.
One of many of my favorite episodes
The Cartwrights are teaching us a lesson everytime: Help thy neighbours.
Thank you, Gringo, for posting all of these! I'm discovering Bonanza for real for the first time, and I'm astounded by the range of ideas and emotions this series has. Aside from the tension of the vigilante crew - which we always know doesn't threaten the Ganthers because they are determined to stay on their land - "Gift of Water" is essentially about the Cartwrights working together to solve an engineering problem. And yet how much interest and drama and personal interactions the story has!
nice..lovely story..thank you
Now I see where Hoss got the idea for Blocker Drilling
Mark up another win for the Cartwright’s. 👆👆👆👌👌👌
People working together to achieve a decent goal is a beautiful sight. Compassion, understanding and willingness to help make a person attractive. I'm fond of this sweet episode. Royal Dano is likable and he's a fine actor. Hoss is charming, Adam does his part well, Joe is improving and Ben does what is right.
Why is it that Joe is improving when Joe is the best, because of him there is action, romanticism, humor, etc.
I wonder who runs the Ponderosa when the family is off saving the world ha
that would be hopsing
Remember that Benjamin did hire many men to help deal with the property. They stay while the four Cartwrights do good. 12-8-2021
the incomparable Hop-sing!!
They had a big staff whom they occasionally showed
This was one of the great one's
This chapter teaches us that we should never give up!⛲🥰
They all have got such nice smile
Wow, Majel Barrett in this one!
Loved this episode! Thanks for sharing!
I’m 66 years old and grew up watching Bonanza from my crib! I stood up in my crib when it came on and said horsey!! That was my first word my parents told me and horses became the love of my life! I must of had a crush on little Joe an Adam most of my life! My children grew up watching little house and the prairie. These shows were the best ❤❤
I think this was the same year Hoss started the first Bonanza steakhouse restaurant. Or maybe that was in 1963.😊.
Is there a episode where hoss starts a restaurant
@Eivor Wolf-Kissed lmao
@@jessicaeasley5828 no but the actor Dan Blocker started a restaurant in 1965
This episode and the episode with the little green men, or leprechaun episode, best 2 episodes ever. I believe they were midget’s. Hilarious episode
And that ladies and gentlemen is how you go from a Star Trek communicator to a Smartphone. Baby Steps.
Virginia City citizens get on my nerves smh always going to the Cartwrights for help,but turn there backs on the Cartwrights in a minute just like people are to this day lol love bonanza
Artesian bore. 1/2 of Australia has an artisan basin were sandstone below the surface acts like a sponge to all the water that flows down the western side of the great dividing range.
I knew a man who fell into a bin of grain seed. It was impossible for him to climb up and out of it and he died smothered in the grain seed. When they missed Bill, they emptied the grain bin and found his body. What a horrible way to die, knowing that they’re was no hope of his being rescued.
It seemed like everyone had something to contribute towards this project,. The old man believing that there's water down there, Haas and his auger drilling down to where it is, Adam adding the piping to keep the sand from falling into the hole 🕳️, and Ben and pigtails got to use a windmill to pump the water out. A perfect example of how a small project can snowball into something larger, much larger 🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎
9:01, Ben rejects Luther's proposition of assembling a vigilante.
Annnndd??
Very nicely understated episode. Great character building too. More shows need to give you time to sit with the characters like this episode does!
Good to see the late James Doohan in another episode.
EXCELLENT MOVIE THE GIFT OF WATER LOVE BONANZA AS A KID LOVE IT TO THIS VERY DAY
You have the Best Videos, Thank You.
Thank you 😃
u can buy the dvd and have them yourself like i do.all it cost is money,lol.
25:23, the girl drops the heavy tool on Little Joe's foot.
I wonder how those horses could travel all those distances without water.
It's always nice to see the whole family together
How incredible that would have seemed to a real settler.
Royal Dano!
This episode is about water business. There is a great water scarcity in Virginia city. The whole Cartwright family is much concernd about this. Mr. Ben Cartwright and his sons are very hard working and they did a good job in getting water through hand pump by fixing some underground machine. Thus the story ends. Acting, screenplay storyline everything is perfect.I just loved this show.
That farmer has played very many roles in all kinds of venues.
