Dude, I've been binge watching the entire series for years now I go up to about season seven and then I start over and then I go up to about season six and then I start over. Lol
This must be season one. In the opening Adam has a.bit of a smile and Hoss is flapping his arms like crazy. He hasn't had enough saddle time. This is a wonderful show and has been since 1959.

One of the first special 10 Episodes of Bonanza in the 1959-60 season that did loosely follow the history of the great silver strike in 1858-59 that became the Comstock Lode, and the founding of Virginia City. Being a history buff, those first 10 Bonanza Episodes are my all-time favorite episodes of the show. After that, Bonanza stories became more standard Hollywood / TV western. There are two great books that inspired the show, THE BIG BONANZA (1876) Dan DeQuille and ROUGHING IT (1872) Mark Twain. Both authors had lived in Virginia City during the original glory days of the silver strike, both as newspaper men writing for "The Territorial Enterprise" and living in the genuine 'Wild West' era. The Bonanza Season 1 Episode 5, "Enter Mark Twain" shows the arrival of Twain in 1860 roughly, when Twain actually did not arrive in Nevada Territory until July 1861.
I love this episode. This is my favorite Western. The Cartrights were such a wholesome family. I remember growing up as a kid, 10 of us, and we would be sitting at my dad's feet eating roasted peanuts and watching Bonanza. It's 2025 and I'm binge watching. beautiful childhood memories I'll never forget.
Thanks making it possible to have pure good entertainment during these Depressing times. As a kid it was a big deal to get to watch Bonanza come Sunday night. The days you weren't allowed to sit and watch TV all day, and only allowed to touch it to clean it, or you were the remote control with permission. Great scenery, great actors, great storylines. Right is right and wrong is wrong. Maybe get mad and fight, then it's over, not hold grudges and hate to kill. The bad guys never win. We need more like this. Youngons forget or don't know, Work , do a good job and do it right, feel good about yourself. Kindness is still alive. Times were hard, but honest and good. Lessons to be learned. Sleep well at night. I'm binge watching today. Earned that right at my age.Well, some do kill that are Bad people. Greed doesn't pay. Truth comes out and peace can be found.
I've only just started watching Bonanza in 2021. I'm hooked. Love how the Cartwrights live by thier values, are kind and are real men . Love that there's no PC BS in the show. Wish I were living back in the 60s, when this was written. I was born just after the show ended (1970s) and I'd gladly go back to the time when there was no technology.
Bucket of Blood, what a name for a Saloon. There was a bar here in Colorado that was called something else but beings their was so many fights, people called it bucket of blood
I watch Bonanza almost every day but never understood how it arrived at that name however it's a great show. BUT, l'm a black man and never only saw ONE black man on the show. WHY ? The old west had black people !
@@michaelcesco2970 They had a black family on this show. Ossie Davis played a widowed father. Bonanza is the word miners used to describe a large sum of silver
I agree with your comments especially as it relates to conflict and how they seem to resolve most of them without killing one another! Kindness and love for one's neighbors wad a way of life!
Joe was always fool hardy ready to shoot his mouth! Many years made him really mature! Adam was the wise & brainy child of Ben Cartwright! I still miss Adam!
UNBELIEVABLY AWESOME WESTERN MOVIE 🎬. ALWAYS WONDERFUL TO WATCH. ❤❤❤❤❤ I JUST LOOOOOOVE THE "CARTWRIGHT FAMILY". A TYPICAL 🇺🇸 🇺🇲 AMERICAN FAMILY. ALWAYS READY TO HELP AND TO SERVE FOR JUSTICE. ❤❤❤❤❤.
In an interview with Lorne Greene he said he complained to the writers that he didn't like how agressive the Cartwrights were with anyone who happened upon their land and suggested a better way to interact with trespassers. Glad the writers listened to his concerns.
Yes, the oddballs ranchers were disliked and distrusted by the VC townsfolk. Almost anywhere the Cartwrights went, the community was suspicious and didn't embrace or trust them.
Back in the day I remember my parents were debating whether or not to get one of them newfangled colour TVs because they were so much more expensive and the picture quality wasn't as sharp. Later on, I developed my own secret technique for making my TV come on in colour. It involved staring at a spot in the centre and "wishing" in the colour, which would gradually start from the centre and slowly move to the edges. After about 5 minutes the whole picture was colour. I even taught my secret technique to my friends, but only a couple of them could do it. Of course, it only worked after you drank 12 beers.
When the first walk into that bar the passed by a table with a man sitting with his head lying on the table and it was so clearly there for just the effect it was ridiculous. 😅😅😅
Regarding horses big enough for Hoss, it wasn't hard to find one to ride WALKING, but finding one to ride RUNNING had to be a very STRONG creature ! All that weight on the back running up and down hills can easily break legs.
This is such a great family program. Some of the acting is almost comical but im sure it was considered adequate during the time . The word "Bonanza" was only used 6 times. 😂
I don't remember the specific reference I looked up, but the horses were rented out to tv and movies and they specifically gave Dan Blocker a horse that was large enough to carry him.
I'm 5'10 and 300 lbs. Where most average horses are 13- 14 hands . I've owned a few horses 15 - 16 hands tall . Weighing out around 1000 lbs. Certainly large enough to carry a follow Texan like Dan Blocker . In fact one of my best horses was a Tennessee walker that was over 16 hands . With a gorgeous gate and smooth riding . So to answer your question they're out there .
One of my favorite episodes is the one where Hoss had to fight the champion pro boxer. He couldn't compete of course and was getting whipped good. Adam said " Don't fight him, wrestler him " ! That did it ! Hoss put a bear - hug on him and it was all over ! That mountain of a man could squeeze the air out of anybody !
@@susanmccormick6022 you can grow 20 times the amount of food on the land that it takes to raise a cow...why do you think even today...people are fighting the destruction of vast rain forests and waste of land to make sure mcdonalds never runs out of hamburgers? maybe someone you know is suffering to feed their family....that should really make you laugh

When l first saw Candy, l thought that sounded like a girl's name. ( lt is) . Why didn't the producers call him something else to make it more masculine ? And why did he wear the same red shirt / black vest all the time, ( on every episode I saw) . His name was pronounced Canary, but I thought it was CA - NA- RY , like a bird .

It's addictive but I love the character of Ben Cartwright. His kindhearted compassionate nature is well needed in 2023
It was closer to 23:49

Joe was always fool hardy ready to shoot his mouth! Many years made him really mature! Adam was the wise & brainy child of Ben Cartwright! I still miss Adam!
Adam was 12 years older than Joe . Joe was 17 in the first seasons. At 29, he would, of course, have been more mature than a 17-year-old boy.
I just finished season 14 , didn't realize how much I missed Adam's smarts!😢
Eric, Hoss's horse is a sweetie, looks like a champion, old chub
This episode of Bonanza tell's a great story Always be honest

Lov bonanza back in the 50,s still do now r d
I was watching this show since I was a kid I like Western series
Winnamucca in Paiute Indian language means "one mocassin". Winnamucca city exists still.
Adam since he elders in the family always have the right instint.
The horse that Adam is writing looks like the one that little Joe rides most of the time 🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎
Show more of bonanza. Up to the last episodes
I'm watching it everyday all day western each have deep meanings
Good stuff, thanks.
45:29 Hahaha, the rock bouncing around. Director "stuff it, it's good enough"
This was the episode that established the Cartwrights that viewers came to know. In the pilot, they acted like jerks much of the time.
Pilots never reflect the series as a whole. I'm so glad that Bonanza got better after the first episode.
In an interview with Lorne Greene he said he complained to the writers that he didn't like how agressive the Cartwrights were with anyone who happened upon their land and suggested a better way to interact with trespassers.
Glad the writers listened to his concerns.
i wouldn't say jerks just a bit rugged and protective
I'm glad Lorne got it changed and the writers saw sense,
The pilot was extremely different!
Yes, the oddballs ranchers were disliked and distrusted by the VC townsfolk. Almost anywhere the Cartwrights went, the community was suspicious and didn't embrace or trust them.
8 times said the word bonanza. Classic!
Barry Sullivan The Tall Man TV Series ..Nice One

It’s interesting to see how young the actors are when this series started until it ended. Quite a dramatic difference 😊
Uuuuuh oh. I see a mess’a trouble stew 🍲 brewing. 😅😅😅😅😊😊😊😊
Never seen Joe he love to fight and never win
This show which was called entertainment. It's also illustrating today's times, which I mean is the American greed .

Good job Bonanza for writing a strong smart female character in the 1960s. 👍
Mmm, wouldn't really consider her a Ma Victoria Barkley from The Big Valley..
But she may be a lil tougher than Audra.

Great example of the good of capitalism and the evil of those who hate it.
Love this when I was growing up, but they sure couldn’t act very well
its not too bad it is watchable thats for sure but i get what you saying

Nice ending
Mr Harris here on Bonanza plays Mr Lars Hanson on Little House on the Parie
They actually said the word bonanza in this episode about 6 times. Lol
I guess cause they wanted to establish the name of the show and it’s meaning for everyone in the series. My thought.
My dad actually thought Bonanza was the fathers (Ben),name
It’s good, even though it’s sad.
I totally agree!♥️
