Brought tears to my eyes at the end. A Christmas miracle unfolding. It’s only October, but here’s hoping that you get a Christmas miracle, as so many need one. 🙏🏻✝️🎄
I just a got the Ponderosa Christmas CD...It is amazing and made me smile on the first song. Then when Adam's song played I was started to cry because it was so beautiful...Merry Christmas everyone. :)
@@bv6086 Dear BV may I know where did you buy that Ponderosa Christmas CD, Adam's baritone voice is so beautiful, thank you for your comment esp. on that Christmas CD, God bless you
Bonanza, simply the best of the western TV shows back in the day! Ben, Hoss, Adam & little Joe were just amazing. My grandfather loved this show, in Puerto Rico he saw in Spanish. He never missed an episode. My mom loves this show & I love it too. The best!!
Wow. A calculated tearjerker that sure enough jerked tears from this old man. The emotions were genuine -- the tragedy of the orphaned blind girl and the real world dilemma of finding a home for her, her determination to see her grandfather...whom she was just sure needed her...and on and on. Very beautiful and real. Congrats to writer Anthony Lawrence and everyone.
Talk about a precious little child who had so much love for the wretched old hermit who just happened to be her grandfather. Such was a beautiful Spirit inside her. Even the old hermit couldn't stay mean. What a touching story.
Call me an old softie, but the last few minutes of this episode brought a tear to my eye. This show is all about family values and this episode was proof of that.
I am amazed at the depth of this episode. How beautifully written. When Gabriielle said to the Cartwrights as they were taking her from the old man's house, "Maybe if I call to him, he will come back, Grandpa! Grandpa!" Well, that was certainly worthy of more than a few tears. How touching. This is what television was supposed to be.
its so cute seeing them fuss over children lost young women and lost souls in general when they find them they're definitely hospitable and no matter who or what the stranger is theyre always welcoming.
A beautifully scripted episode, which I assume was the Christmas Special. It brings all the joys of love and compassion, and tells a tale of how love can reach even the hardest of hearts. Such a wonderful child actress too.
Yes, it is a fairy tale ranch one can visit with old well known friends, & all the others coming here to relive it or that have discovered it are somehow a connected family.
This was the kind of episode I watch Bonanza for. The young girl was superb, so natural and authentic. She really made the success of the whole episode. She was such a sweetheart, what family wouldn't want to have her. The family that Ben chose for her was about as perfect as they could be. The mother and father looked to be sincerely loving and caring people who'd give her a very fine home life. Even the son looked like he'd be a great brother to her, very understanding. Her grandfather was a cantankerous old guy but she brought out the heart in even him.
This show either brings me to tears, or makes me laugh my butt off... sometimes both! I was a too young to remember these shows when they first aired, but I've really been enjoying them during the past several years. I really appreciate this channel for bring Bonanza to UA-cam.
There's nothing like an beautiful old fashion Christmas treat ... listening to the Cartwright Four 🎵🎶🌟🎄 . All the actors , especially the little girl who never gave up on her grandfather .
A wonderful story every person played their part perfectly the little girl brought tears to my eyes, these western shows all seem to have a meaning I cannot stop watching them.
Ben is the same. I like how each son takes after Ben . Adam has his intelligence and mind for running a business , Hoss has his heart , Joe has his wild side. They're all obviously kind hearted loyal and great at what they do
Definitely a tear jerker! Bonanza's version of "Heidi". The little girl did a marvelous job of acting, conveying deep emotion of sadness, determination and joy! I just wish we got to find out if Gabrielle went back with "Grandfather" or stayed with the Pastor's in the end. Great episode!
I think he decided to let her stay with them because he was out trapping frequently, but visited often and became more siciabke...sometimes taking her for an evening on the mountain.
I'm thinking that maybe the grandfather stayed with the pastors too, it would be difficult for him to alone look after a blind girl and she has to get some type of teatching.
I had thought I had seen every episode of Bonanza🤩 a child. There are so many and I still learn from it! They do not make TV like this any longer. I sure wish they did!
@@Ettibridget Yes, but with her being a child, it did sound a little funny hearing her say Little Joe instead of Joe or Mr. Cartwright. Not a big deal. Still a great episode.
I'm in a somewhat similar situation. I live alone and I like it that way. I've only met my grandson once in person. My beard is longer than the one worn by the guy in this episode, but it's very clean.
Oh, I remember now. I’ve seen this movie twice so I don’t believe that I’m going to watch it again for awhile. It was good though so I’m going to recommend it to others. 😅😅😅
This episode reminds me of Heidi. A bit of trivia: Lorne Greene is the voice of Grandpa in animated musical movie from 1982 called "Heidi's Song." What an amazing voice he had!
An old man who was betrayed by the world and had lost his faith in people. Then his granddaughter appears, full of nothing but love in her heart. Who could not feel their hope rekindling?
Such a great show, well written and superb actors. Even a smattering of classic literature. Fabulous. So thankful I was able to visit the Ponderosa ranch before it was taken down.
As much as I love this series; and find it example_setting and enriching; as I watch the episodes that Grjngo has very kindly shared with us, I understand more and more why Pernell Roberts left Bonanza. He is, of the three brothers, the one who gets the shorter parts and after Season 3 Ben keeps telling him to go to town to buy little girls' clothes, or to find a steer in the mountain, or some other menial duty while Hoss and Joe get the meaty roles. Pity. In the end, the series never really recovered from his departure, and Hoss' demise gave it the death knell.
Very heartwarming episode. I swear that someone was peeling onions behind me! 😁 Thanks a lot for uploading and sharing this old series. Best regards luck and health.
She could have played Hosses little daughter. These shows always makes me feel human again. And that ending was magnificent how it stayed on the long shot as they all went inside and the music was perfect and so touching. And ending like that touches the better souls of all people.
I watch this episode between Thanksgiving and Christmas along with others like Gunsmoke Murry Christmas, A Waltons Homecoming, etc. Enriches the Holiday Season
The little boy, Jeremy is such a sweet little guy doing everything that he can to make her feel welcome. He's not jealous at all when he might have been. 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Brought tears to my eyes at the end. A Christmas miracle unfolding. It’s only October, but here’s hoping that you get a Christmas miracle, as so many need one. 🙏🏻✝️🎄
Tears rolled my cheeks. Oh my oh my. What an Episode. And the Cartwright's choir. Holy gracious. Blessings
I just a got the Ponderosa Christmas CD...It is amazing and made me smile on the first song. Then when Adam's song played I was started to cry because it was so beautiful...Merry Christmas everyone. :)
Me too, I'm w/ tears especially that part when the Cartwright boys were singing.

Just.....love the Cartwrights
It’s now May, 2024.
But always a good time to say:
“Merry Christmas”. 🎄♥️🎄
Peace on Earth-Goodwill to men!!
Lorne Greene…..what a perfect casting as Ben Cartwright…..masterclass in acting….

Hearing Ben call Gabrielle “darling” makes me just about cry

21 years in a hellhole for some thing he didn't do. You really can't blame him
@@bleeding4721 Your right.
Yes Yes Yes Awesone what unconditional Love does!!!
Always reminds me of Heidi.
Definitely inspired by Heidi, great story.

OK, you’re an old softy. Well, I guess I am too.
I'm maybe softie too.😥
Glad I'm not the only one. I teared up a little too. 😢
me too.
Yeah its umportant to remember true values even if it was way back time is too short and goes by fast keep memories close
This was one of the best episodes of Bonanza. The little girl was such a good actress. Gabrielle is a delight! This episode should've been on DVD.

Hands down, this is one of the best Bonanza movies I have seen.
Top 5 episode

De nada.
It's not a movie
its so cute seeing them fuss over children lost young women and lost souls in general when they find them they're definitely hospitable and no matter who or what the stranger is theyre always welcoming.
Love this touching episode. It does bring a tear to your eye. The child sees with her heart ❤, and that what matters.
Gabrielle was like an angelic messenger, sent to give a heavenly message to the hermit. 💜🙂
BINGO !
The parents gave her the perfect name , Gabrielle . She 's a pretty strong in spirit .
And that little girl played that role, to a T.
@@maritzaagosto1793 I guess so, Maritza.
A beautifully scripted episode, which I assume was the Christmas Special. It brings all the joys of love and compassion, and tells a tale of how love can reach even the hardest of hearts. Such a wonderful child actress too.

She would have been better off staying with the Cartwright's rather than her elderly grandfather.

I love Hoss he is so helping and has the best heart ♥️ out of all the Cartwrights

He is definately one of my favorite charecters. He has such a big, kind, and generous heart. Not to mention a big appetite! lol

Great episode!
Diane Mountford should be 74 at this point.
Me too.
I think he decided to let her stay with them because he was out trapping frequently, but visited often and became more siciabke...sometimes taking her for an evening on the mountain.

I was just thinking the same thing that story is like Heidi
I had thought I had seen every episode of Bonanza🤩 a child. There are so many and I still learn from it! They do not make TV like this any longer. I sure wish they did!
I´ve noticed that Hoss and Little Joe often hang together. A most touching Christmas story - one of my favorites.
Adam "Me? What kind of clothes?" priceless
"I hope you like chicken pie, well good" why didn't she wait for her to answer, she is blind not mute.

Very touching and not too saccharine. Too bad there wasn't a sequel. Many thanks!
I wish that there were people like the Cartwrights around nowadays... I'd sure like to meet them!
There are sime, just never represented on TV series or news. Keep looking.
@963ag
Couldn't agree more.
I love the four part harmony Ben, Adam, Hoss, and Joe sang in Joy to the World they should have started an acapella quartet,
I agree. They were great singers! 👍
Look it's a young and handsome Doc Baker as Mr Pastor ...... Beautiful episode !
Tears out my eyes this is real show i wish we all come back on time when love and care is all surrounded
"How Beautiful Heaven Must Be.". 🎼🎶🌺💐🌹🌹🎻🎼🎶
This is a very touching episode that touches the heart I wish more people would watch this
@@johncater15 I wish more people behaved like them.
Gabriella, what an angle.
Touching story.
Talk about a tear jerker...
I went through quite a lot of tissues watching this story.
Yup....
THANK YOU for letting me watch this !!!!
I love watching this old movie show every sense l was a little girl l watched with great grandfather, my grandparents, my parents
I love that Gabrielle calls Jo "Little Jo"
What were she to call him? That's his name - Little Joe.
@@Ettibridget Yes, but with her being a child, it did sound a little funny hearing her say Little Joe instead of Joe or Mr. Cartwright. Not a big deal. Still a great episode.
@@billh.8515 Well, Joe calls himself Little Joe too. But yeah, I see what you mean.
What a good western they care so mutch for Gabriel she is a lovely Child pity the Cartwright couldn’t adopt hir
What a joy that would have been, had it been written into the script and watching her grow up on the Ponderosa.
Yeah then Ben could have had a daughter and the boys a little sister but they knew she needed a mother figure
Great Episode with touching story. Classic is indeed much better for family.
Gabrielle, like a story of Heidi told by Bonanza. Nicely done.
As a great grandfather whose only seen his grandson’s boys once I can understand the ache in the old man’s heart.
@Jame Hutchins Now you're making me reach for another Kleenex. God bless you.
I'm in a somewhat similar situation. I live alone and I like it that way. I've only met my grandson once in person. My beard is longer than the one worn by the guy in this episode, but it's very clean.
It's Bonanza's version of Heidi. I wish they had done more Christmas stories. 2. In 14 years was nowhere near enough.
Love is the most powerful force in the universe, God is love❗
Great family viewing.
Best Christmas story ever ❤
Well, the best Christmas story ever is the original one. 🙂 But I know what you mean. This was a great episode.
Which is the original story? 🙂
WODERFUL EPISODE SHOWS HOW YOU LOVE YOUR DEAR OLD ONES😍♥️🌹
Even old people who hv their love stollen from them need love 💘
Yes. So true...
They treated Gabrielle like the little princess she is. She could turn my heart around.
Oh, I remember now. I’ve seen this movie twice so I don’t believe that I’m going to watch it again for awhile. It was good though so I’m going to recommend it to others. 😅😅😅
New west or old West, Bonanza is the best.
A lovely story
Fantastic episode thanks for sharing it!
21 years in prison for something you didn't do...I'd be pissed too
...Bonanza! I remember watching it with my Grandpa!
Watched it Sunday night with my Grandparents
This episode was broadcast on my 5th birthday! My family and I were living in Chetek (pronounced sheh/tek), Wisconsin then.
27:32 Gabrielle is blind but has a wicked left hand hook slap!
🤣
WOW that episode was a tear yerker, Bonanza was the greatest TV show ever l really love it!!!😊☺️🤗🤔
This sweet girl breaks my heart with her innocence!💔😭
One of the best episodes made. I love this one for sure.
Perfect for Christmas,revealing its true meaning.I cried too and l'm just an old man like grandfather.Thankyou.xx.
I watched it again, it really lovely❤❤❤👍 👌😍🥰😘😘😘
This episode reminds me of Heidi. A bit of trivia: Lorne Greene is the voice of Grandpa in animated musical movie from 1982 called "Heidi's Song." What an amazing voice he had!
Appears to have been inspired by the Shirley Temple vehicle "Heidi" and adapted perfectly to Bonanza
Yes exactly
This is the most spectacular episode of bonanza I've ever seen, it brought tears to my eyes

Halfway through - this is leading up to a real heart-warming "grouch learns to love" tearjerker
Such a great show, well written and superb actors. Even a smattering of classic literature. Fabulous. So thankful I was able to visit the Ponderosa ranch before it was taken down.

The story is based on “Heidi,” starring Shirley Temple.
