My son required a life saving operation when he was six weeks old. The surgeon was Sterling Blocker, Dan Blocker's cousin. His hands were the size of his cousin's "Hoss." I was amazed such large hands performed such a delicate surgery on such a tiny patient. He had a similar outgoing personality that immediately put me at ease. The surgery was a major success.
After reading your post, I looked Sterling up and was saddened to find that he had passed away at only age 62 on February 19, 2011 after struggling with pulmonary fibrosis for 8 years.
This is looking inside my father's head. My dad lived for this show. However it did give us great morals to live by. Thank you so much for bringing this back to me.
Same here, my dad served in WW2 and he always watched Bonanza. I spent many times watching with him on the couch. He watched it up to the last few days of his life when he passed away in 2019. I quit work to take care of him about the last year of his life when it started to get a little hard for him to get around by himself. I miss Pa. So when I see anything about Bonanza I think of my dad who was a good dad.
@@BritonAD Sorry for your loss. Your Dad will always be in your thoughts and sharing his time will continue to impress on you. Sounds like you are a very lucky person to have such fond memories. Now go have a great life and carry his memory.
I thank the home owners for being so gracious for allowing you to bring us into the most beloved home lots of us grew up in via the watching Bonanza. And thank you so much for sharing your time in bringing this with us.
@@joecucciarre1430 the real ranch house? I think it was mostly a set but they also have a replica that they used for filming at incline village. It was a theme park but got bought out and shut down
So wonderful that the home owners were generous to allow us to see this beautiful home! Very cool peek inside Lorne Greene's sanctuary. Thank you Jordan for the fantastic tour!
When our sons were small, we bought our furniture in ranch oak style. Now , I'm retired in a ranch style home. The ranch oak still fits my home. Memories of Bonanza still alive.
This was so good to know, they filmed from an actual home. I always thought it was a Hollywood similated home. I would love to take a visit there, one day.
The Ponderosa has been my dream house for years. How incredibly nice of the new owners to allow you to do a tour and share it with those of us who still love watching Bonanza and who love the Ponderosa. Beautiful home. I wouldn't change a thing. Thank you.
Thank you so much for this tour. Amazing that the house looks so good. I hope it’s always kept in pristine condition. I always wanted to live in a house like the ponderosa house. Mr Greene gave fans a real gift by building this home.
When I was a kid in the 1960’s and Bonanza was my favorite TV Show, I always dreamed of being able to build a house like the Ponderosa. Of course, I was never able to do that, but this is the next best thing. This is like a dream come true for me! Thank you so much to everyone involved with bringing this video to the light of day! I LOVE it!
First, I would like to thank the home’s owners for being so kind as to let you film inside and share this beautiful home with us! Jordan, you did an amazing job of highlighting the artistry and craftsmanship that went into this home and showed us the most wonderful features! This was a joy to watch! Thank you!
What an honor to be contacted by the owners and invited back to vlog it. It is a lovely home and so thrilled to have a chance to view it! Thank you, Jordan!!! ❤️
Extremely kind and generous of the present home owners to invite you (and us!) inside the "Ponderosa II." Love that they have kept the property much as it was when the Greens lived there. Having seen that original stone fireplace for so many years on "Bonanza" I actually got shivers when you showed the replica. EXCELLENT job vlogging this memorable piece of television history, Jordan!
I grew up watching Bonanza. Loved the show and being able to peek inside this beautiful home. While looking around I noticed I have an antique sofa exactly like the one in this home. I'm having it reupholstered and seeing this sofa in the video helped me to pick a color. Thanks, hugs from Arizona. Loved the video.
Please tell the homeowners thank you from the bottom of my heart! This was my parents favorite TV show and my Mom would talk about how beautiful the house was. I'm so glad they are keeping it true to it's roots. It was a great show and all the actors were just as nice in real life as they appeared to be on TV. This was great. Thank you everyone!
I too want to thank the homeowners for letting us visit their special abode! That place is great! I used to love to watch Bonanza when I was a little girl. What a blessing! 😍
Thanks so much for this wonderful tour Jordan. And much thanks to the owners who were gracious enough to invite you back. My Dad took us on vacation many years ago to Northern California and we were able to tour the original Ponderosa. But it was only the facade for filming. No actual bedrooms or kitchen or yard. Only the house and front room. We were so disappointed, but I’m so glad I was able to see the original. We faithfully watched Bonanza every Sunday night. And I watch it on re runs all the time now. I now live in Northern California and go to Tahoe all the time. When my Dad took us up here years ago, I fell in love with the Sierras. And I now live in El Dorado. My dream come true. So glad so many authentic pieces were passed on to them and to let the memory live on. I did not know all this about Lorne Greene and that he built that replica home. So thank you for sharing this bit of history with us. God bless you and those nice folks.
Thank you for the great virtual tour it is really accurate my wife and I were fortunate enough to visit the Ponderosa Ranch in Nevada on a trip to Lake Tahoe the thing you never forget was the enormous fireplace and the staircase to nowhere! Lorne Green should have expanded it to a real mancave billiards room or something like that lol! it all brings back great memories. The house at the Nevada site had a huge artificial wisteria tree with the beautiful purple flowers hanging down on and over the porch it was a nice touch like desperate housewives set. The owners of this home are very gracious hosts to allow us a peek into this special historical home, It is a gorgeous time capsule very well taken care of and loved it shows in every bit of the property Hats off to Lorne Green and his wife the Ponderosa and Bonanza lives on!
Thank you to the current homeowners in sharing this wonderful historical home!!! I loved that every Sunday evening from 9:00 PM - 10:00 PM was time to watch Bonanza!! Great memories, but when NBC went to colorized... Wow what a wonderful way to see everything and everybody!! Of course, everybody went out & purchased a TV of Color!!! My parents got a color TV in 1963 or 1964!!!! Thanks for this wonderful tour!!! Wonderful 💋!
I remember watching Bonanza curled up with my blanket sucking my thumb and watching this great show with my dad drinking orange pops. My mom wasn't into Westerns really, so I shared this special TV time with my dad. I got teary eyed watching this.. A very enjoyable vlog.
I can't thank you enough Jordon. I so wanted to view the inside of the home when you were last there. Bonanza is still my favorite western series. What an honour for us, with you guide to have you take us on a walk through. Another outstanding property. You could almost picture the Cartright's walking out and or into the home. I always have said to myself over the decades, that if I ever win lotto, I'll build a replica of the Ponderosa house. Again, an awesome vlog. I think I'll be watching this vlog more than once.
That was one cool video. Thank you to the owners of Ponderosa 2. That was so nice of them to get in touch with you so you can film the inside. It is definitely walking inside of History. I used to watch that show Faithfully. This has brought back many memories. Thank you enjoyed it very much.
That's awesome that the owners of the house saw your vlog on here and extended the invitation to view the interior. Your fame is starting to grow.:-) Bonanza was one of my favorite shows when I was in grade school. The very first time ever I saw color TV ( it was the summer of 62) Bonanza was the show that was on. I was fascinated with the concept and i couldn't get over how cool it looked. Unfortunately when they first came out they were very expensive so we didn't get our first color TV until like a year later.
The moment you open that front door of the Ponderosa. That took me back in time WOW!!! I was born in 1961 so I was 3 when I started watching the show!! I would come home every day from school and watch the Ponderosa Show this was my favorite evening show!!! WOW what wonderful memories!!! Thanks to the Home owners for sharing their beautiful home with ALL of Us!!!🙏❤🙏❤ God Bless TAKE Care Stay Healthy!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🤠😍🤠🌴🌻🌴🌻🏜🦋
I viewed this with my wife and now we're going to go see it. This property is absolutely amazing. I LOVE how it's been preserved as it was built. I oftne thought it would be so cool to have a house like the Ponderosa. I know of another house a man built and when he passed, his wife simply closed part of it off. I was probably the first person in 20 years that had been in that section and it took me back to the1950's. So cool.
I too want to thank the homeowners for their generosity in sharing this wonderful home! It was such a joy to watch and we grew up watching Bonanza and loved the whole cast and thought that house was amazing. We never knew that Lorne had built this. Thank you for keeping it as close to original as possible for us older Bonanza devotees who love the re-runs of that show. And thank you Jordan for filming it for us. This truly made this time of being home bound due to the virus a real treat! You did a great job Jordan!
You’re such a gentleman and wonderful tour guide. Thank you and thank the home owners for allowing us a tour! I grew up with Bonanza and currently watch an episode or two before I go to sleep. The Cartwrights take my mind off of the bizarre, twilight zone reality of the world we live in today. We had a vacation home on a golf course in Bend, Oregon and I was so afraid we’d get “pelted with golf balls” as Lorne and Nancy did, especially because our daughter was a toddler at the time. Somehow, we never did. We were mid fairway and I don’t remember even one stray ball flying through. Good golfers! God bless you.😊
Thank you so much to the owners for inviting you, and thereby us, to come into this incredible home! I can't believe how perfectly everything is and the attention to detail is spot on!! I have to say how sad it is though. Every single actor in that show is dead now, I'm surprised no one from Mr or Mrs Greene's family kept the property.
Thank you to the homeowners for letting you check out the inside and outside the house. What’s not to love about the whole house and the barn. I used to watch Bonanza. I’m in love with that house. Love every part of it. I’m glad Lorraine Greene decided to build Ponderosa 2. That cactus made of horse shoes is so great. Can’t stop smiling about the house. God bless you and Jah. You are the best. Thank you for sharing and for everything you do.😃
Thank you to the owners for sharing this beautiful house & property with us, I grew up on the Bonanza series & what an awesome house this is. Thank you Jordan for being such a wonderful host & for showing us this wonderful house this was just an awesome tour you gave. Hope to see more if you do them. 😎
How awesome that the homeowners invited you back to film the inside. That was very gracious of them and much appreciated by us viewers, thanks to them. It is a beautiful home and it's wonderful to see a classic TV series preserved in such a loving and respectful manner.
How lovely for the homeowners to reach out and invite you! The home is so warm, inviting and well cared for. You can tell that a lot of love goes into the details then and now. Great tour, Jordan!
This was one of the most outstanding videos I have EVER seen! Thank you so much and thank you to the homeowners for allowing us a peek inside! God bless you!!
So very kind of the home owners to allow you to do a video of the Ponderosa II !!! It's awesome!!!! Its great to see the current owners are keeping the house the way it was when Greene's lived there.... I was waiting for Hop Sing to come running out the kitchen door as you walked up, or come into the dining room as you entered to offer you something to eat... Thank you Jordan for another awesome video.... Keep healthy and safe in your travels!
What a treat!!! Bonanza was my favorite western of all time. Still watch show. So very kind of the owners to share with us! Now we can visit anytime on UA-cam ! Thank you so very much❤️❤️❤️
Wow! What a beautiful home. Very welcoming and warm atmosphere. That fireplace looks absolutely stunning. Imagine the house at Christmas time. Wow, wow, wow!! Thank you for showing us this, and I thank the owners for allowing us a unique peek at history. I used to watch the show but remember little of the setting inside. That horseshoe cactus art is quite creative. Love everything about this house. Thanks a bunch!!
I was 7 years old when Bonanza first aired on television September 1959. Bonanza came on Sunday night and the whole family would sit down and watch it. We all fell in love with Hoss he was my favorite.
That show was a Saturday night fixture in our home. What a neat virtual walk-through of a much beloved tv family's home! Impressive homeowners and how well they have preserved the home! Thanks so much for sharing!
Hey, Jordan, this was great! Thanks for all that you do. I so appreciate it. A special thanks to the homeowners for being so gracious to allow filming of the inside of their beautiful home that was at one time a big part of some of our lives. Thanks to you all.
Oh thank you Jordan! That was awesome! The homeowners were so nice to share their home with us! I love how they have kept even the original appliances. It’s a beautiful place. That cactus statue out back is stunning!
Hi Jordan. I know as a relative newcomer to your channel I haven’t seen very many of your vlogs yet, but I’d have to say this one has been my favorite so far! Many thanks to the homeowners for inviting you to do this, that is so generous and gracious of them. And you did a wonderful job pointing out all the details that were dear to my heart. I was a big fan as a kid growing up in the 60s, and my late husband and I would watch Bonanza on MeTV with great enjoyment. Thank you, this one made my day! ☺️👍🏼♥️ Meline
This was my Dad's favorite show .. We watched it as a family every Sunday night . I can remember Hoss and the leprechauns and how we all laughed so hard . Good vlog ! 🤠
Great tour! Much thanks to you and the homeowners! It is wonderful to see history preserved! We visited the Ponderosa house in Nevada back in 1998. As I recall we were told that the two hats [(and hat rack?) that were gifted to the homeowners were from that very house] were Little Joe and Hoss's hats that were left on the hat rack for sentimental reasons from the last time they were on the set. Not sure how true it was but it's a great addition to the authenticity of the home!
Thanks so much to the homeowners for sharing their home with all of us. I feel their pain as I live on the 14th fairway of a golf course in St Augustine Fl. We get hit at least 3-5 times a day have lost one window, one windshield and a dent in the car in the 4 yrs we have lived here. We collect weekly at least 25-30 balls in our yard and bushes. Thanks again Jordan Love the vlogs
What a special opportunity to get to see the inside of such an iconic home! Thanks Jordan! Thank you to the homeowners for preserving so much of it and sharing it with us.
Thank you so much Jordon, everyone loves a tour of a celebrity’s home & this is impressive with so many original features, very generous of the home owner to invite us in & a big thank you to them. Jan 2021 Greetings from Sydney Australia. 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Thanks for the nostalgic walk-through. I was privileged to spend two Bonanza Celebration weekends at the Ponderosa II. It was amazing to watch you walk through and think - I was there, I was there...and I was there too! Glad to see this beautiful piece of history is in good hands.
What a fun find. I came across this by accident and really enjoyed it. I had no idea that Mr. & Mrs. Greene had built this special house. I was tickled to see the first photo you showed, the one of the four "Cartwright's" standing in front of the "original" Ponderous house. I sent off for my copy of that photo when I was probably in early Junior High School. I still have it in my collection of photos. Thanks to you, Jordan, and to the home owners for this great video.
Dang, that was interesting! I so remember Bonanza from the time it first aired, and you have connected me once again to my childhood. Thank you for that from a 69-year old codger!
Omg being a big fan of Bonanza this was a wonderful tour!! Thank you for this. I was fortunate to visit the original Bonanza set in Nevada in the late 1980's. That house is so well preserved and am obvious labor of love for the owners to preserve the legacy of Lorne Greene. Great job Jordan!!
Absolutely awesome video. Love the comparison of the yesterday and today photos. It was gracious of the homeowners to open their home for all of us to enjoy. It is Wonderful that they are keeping the ambiance of Bonanza and history alive!!
Beautiful at 81 I truly enjoyed this for I was one of the 150,000 who watch from the beginning to the end.. I miss them all from Bonanza God bless you and thank you for the memories !!!
Thank you for this wonderful tour and trip down memory lane. Really hits home to my youth and those simpler, nicer days. Sad how all that great cast are gone now. Those were beautiful days.
I had no idea that the Greene's lived in a replica of the Ponderosa! How amazing! I loved this tour! Thanks to the homeowners for opening it up to everyone! I almost expected Hop Sing to run out to serve coffee!!!
Loved the tour. I've lived in AZ 47 years and my mom now lives about 1/2 mile away. I never knew this existed until I saw your last video. This is so awesome, and I wanted to thank the owners for allowing you inside and around the exterior. Next time I'm visiting my mom, I'm going drive by and check it out.
Thanks Jordan for showing the mountain in palms springs and all the wind mills, just some of the views that I miss on the whitewater side of San Jacinto mtn. Pretty neat inside of Lorne Greens home and the Ponderosa Map! It was a beloved show that we wonder year kids grew up on . It's nice to see its kept intact. Thank you for sharing this with us.
I, somewhat unconsciously, decorated my front room with a similar feel to the one in this house. And in my first house also. I've always loved the Bonanza house and it just feels right somehow.
First a thank you to the homeowners both for letting us view their wonderful home and for being such great caretakers for such an iconic house! We need more people like you to take care of our legacy homes and buildings! Jordan I thought the exterior Vlog that you did was terrific but this really takes it over the top I had to watch it twice to make sure I didn’t miss anything. Another great example of the quality of your work and your dedication in bringing these outstanding experiences to your subscribers. Thank You so much. 🤠
Thank you Jordan, for taking us back to Ponderosa. And a big thank you for the new owners, who made this house feel like Loren and his wife were still living there. Very kind of them to open it up for you to blog. I really liked the merry go round Little Joe horse. He had a pinto horse on the show for years. Miss these guys, they had one of the best long running western show on T.V. Sad when Dan Blocker passed away. Thank you so much for going there to do this piece and for the owners!!!!
Thank you to the owners for letting us see the inside and outside. Its immaculate, BEAUTIFUL🤗 I grew up in Soda Springs Ca, in the Sierra Nevadas and use to go to the Ponderosa Ranch loved going, even took my son there . So sad it's gone but this was such a treat and brought back many memories💗 Thank you again💗
I actually met all the Bonanza cast back in the early 60's...It was during the March of Dimes telethon taking place at the California State Fairgrounds in Sacramento, California...(at that time the Fairgrounds were located on Stockton Blvd...such wonderful memories!)
I too met PA, little Joe, Hoss was sick so he wasn't there They were in Cincinnati for something and came to an orphanage for a sort of met and greet with us kids Couldn't believe how silver Pa"s hair was Later learned it was a hairpiece made of Llama hair Red Buttons was there also did a comedy show and met and greet Was a great day and wonderful memory Watching the show after that just felt so personal
Lots of Sunday night growing up memories in this vlog, Jordan. Thank you and thank you to the current owners for allowing us to see inside the Ponderosa II.
This is really cool! I haven't even watched much of the show and I couldn't stop watching this. Owners have obviously loved it and protected it for future generations. It's a living museum!
Wow, first that was so sweet of the owners to have actually invited you back to tour the home! How very thoughtful! The home is amazing! They did such a wonderful job replicating the living room areas and also the rest of the house was made to keep that theme going! What was really special is seeing Lorne Greene in the photo match-ups! I love how the bathroom and kitchen were unchanged too! This vlog was a five thumbs up!!
Thank you to the homeowners for allowing you to vlog the inside. Thank you Jordan for always presenting informative, respectful content which gets you into places that others don't. Beautiful home and great history.
Delighted that the current homeowners were so gracious to share an inside tour of Lorne Green’s Bonanza home because I was a bit disappointed when Jordan did the original exterior tour because I was curious. So now that we got to see the inside of the home today and photos of the interior from the 60s and the TV set, we get a full historical peek and thank you so much for sharing with Bonanza fans. I absolutely love the content brought to us through UA-cam. Great channel Jordan. Love your Hollywood Tours. American tv and film is special Americana culture that ties many people together through the love of entertainment. TV and film is fun and also brings understanding and learning about people and different ways of living and being.
Good job Jordan with the documenting of Ponderosa ll in Mesa Arizona! And kudos to the current owners for letting you do such a great job on your video for this exploration so all the rest of us could see. That was so hospitable of the owners! How they set everything up for you to be able to just walk through and narrate for us!
Jordan you have such a great reputation that people trust inviting you into their homes and know that you will do a great job. This was awesome to see. Thank you Jordan. God bless
Awesome vlog. I got to see this house for $1.00 when it was shown. I was born and raised in Arizona. Bonanza was one of my family's favorite programs on tv. Thanks for bringing back a wonderful childhood memory. I'm on my granddaughter tablet. She loved the vlog too.
That is so cool that the homeowners saw your Vlog and asked you to come back and do the inside of the house. The inside of the house is absolutely amazing! I love how they are keeping it true to what it originally looked like! ❤️😀
I went to the original location of bonanza and got to do a tour of the house. .. I never knew that there was a bonanza 2. ..wow. .this is a wonderful treat and the house is gorgeous! Ty to the late and great Ben Cartwright ( Lorne Greene ) for being to do this. ..and also a big Ty to the home owners for being so gracious to share their home with the rest of the world. ..I think there is a little Bonanza in all of us. ...
Wow what a gorgeous home! I love that it’s been left authentic and not updated. The owners were so generous to let you tour their home so you could share it with us! Thanks Jordan❣️
What a beautiful place!!.. I watched Bonanza, and we watch the reruns now!.. How nice of them to let you show us!!.. Thank You for such an opportunity! ..Wonderful!!!!
I remember waiting all week to see Bonanza as a kid!!! Of course, it was in black and white so it was a treat to see the furnishings in color! I loved that show so much that my home is decorated in the same style! Thank you for bringing back fond memories!!!
This was amazing!!! Such a special treat!!! Tony said when he was in school he would rush home to watch Bonanza. Thank you Jordan. You truly find the most interesting things to Vlog, that most of us never knew even existed.. And a very special thank you to the Current Home Owners for sharing this Treasure with us all.♥️
WOW WOW WOW.. Fantastic tour of the inside of Lorne Greene's home. Thank you to you for taking us along and a HUGE thank you to the homeowners for letting you. #ponderosa ll

This brought tears of joy to my eyes. Thank you so very much to Jordan for the tour and to the homeowners generous spirit of thanksgiving.
Call Michael j fox was a role model for today's you😅

@@c.calliecoleman1531 They didn't film here. The house you see on tv was on a soundstage or "Hollywood simulated home" like you said.

Another outstanding property. You could almost picture the Cartright's walking out and or into the home.
I always have said to myself over the decades, that if I ever win lotto, I'll build a replica of the Ponderosa house.
Again, an awesome vlog.
I think I'll be watching this vlog more than once.
Big thank you to you and to the home owners for letting us see this beautiful home.
That was one cool video. Thank you to the owners of Ponderosa 2. That was so nice of them to get in touch with you so you can film the inside. It is definitely walking inside of History. I used to watch that show Faithfully. This has brought back many memories. Thank you enjoyed it very much.
That's awesome that the owners of the house saw your vlog on here and extended the invitation to view the interior. Your fame is starting to grow.:-) Bonanza was one of my favorite shows when I was in grade school. The very first time ever I saw color TV ( it was the summer of 62) Bonanza was the show that was on. I was fascinated with the concept and i couldn't get over how cool it looked. Unfortunately when they first came out they were very expensive so we didn't get our first color TV until like a year later.
Awesome!!! This was so nice of the owners to allow you to film the inside ❤️ It's so beautiful
The moment you open that front door of the Ponderosa. That took me back in time WOW!!! I was born in 1961 so I was 3 when I started watching the show!! I would come home every day from school and watch the Ponderosa Show this was my favorite evening show!!! WOW what wonderful memories!!!
Thanks to the Home owners for sharing their beautiful home with ALL of Us!!!🙏❤🙏❤ God Bless
TAKE Care Stay Healthy!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🤠😍🤠🌴🌻🌴🌻🏜🦋
I viewed this with my wife and now we're going to go see it. This property is absolutely amazing. I LOVE how it's been preserved as it was built. I oftne thought it would be so cool to have a house like the Ponderosa. I know of another house a man built and when he passed, his wife simply closed part of it off. I was probably the first person in 20 years that had been in that section and it took me back to the1950's. So cool.
I too want to thank the homeowners for their generosity in sharing this wonderful home! It was such a joy to watch and we grew up watching Bonanza and loved the whole cast and thought that house was amazing. We never knew that Lorne had built this. Thank you for keeping it as close to original as possible for us older Bonanza devotees who love the re-runs of that show. And thank you Jordan for filming it for us. This truly made this time of being home bound due to the virus a real treat! You did a great job Jordan!
You’re such a gentleman and wonderful tour guide. Thank you and thank the home owners for allowing us a tour!
I grew up with Bonanza and currently watch an episode or two before I go to sleep. The Cartwrights take my mind off of the bizarre, twilight zone reality of the world we live in today.
We had a vacation home on a golf course in Bend, Oregon and I was so afraid we’d get “pelted with golf balls” as Lorne and Nancy did, especially because our daughter was a toddler at the time. Somehow, we never did. We were mid fairway and I don’t remember even one stray ball flying through. Good golfers!
God bless you.😊
Thank you so much to the owners for inviting you, and thereby us, to come into this incredible home! I can't believe how perfectly everything is and the attention to detail is spot on!! I have to say how sad it is though. Every single actor in that show is dead now, I'm surprised no one from Mr or Mrs Greene's family kept the property.
Thank you to the homeowners for letting you check out the inside and outside the house. What’s not to love about the whole house and the barn. I used to watch Bonanza. I’m in love with that house. Love every part of it. I’m glad Lorraine Greene decided to build Ponderosa 2. That cactus made of horse shoes is so great. Can’t stop smiling about the house. God bless you and Jah. You are the best. Thank you for sharing and for everything you do.😃
Thank you to the owners for sharing this beautiful house & property with us, I grew up on the Bonanza series & what an awesome house this is. Thank you Jordan for being such a wonderful host & for showing us this wonderful house this was just an awesome tour you gave. Hope to see more if you do them. 😎
The ponderosa house has been my dream house since childhood. Many thanks for showing it to us
How awesome that the homeowners invited you back to film the inside. That was very gracious of them and much appreciated by us viewers, thanks to them. It is a beautiful home and it's wonderful to see a classic TV series preserved in such a loving and respectful manner.
Many thanks to the homeowners for sharing this beautiful experience through Jordan's camera lens!
How lovely for the homeowners to reach out and invite you! The home is so warm, inviting and well cared for. You can tell that a lot of love goes into the details then and now. Great tour, Jordan!
This was one of the most outstanding videos I have EVER seen! Thank you so much and thank you to the homeowners for allowing us a peek inside! God bless you!!
So very kind of the home owners to allow you to do a video of the Ponderosa II !!! It's awesome!!!! Its great to see the current owners are keeping the house the way it was when Greene's lived there.... I was waiting for Hop Sing to come running out the kitchen door as you walked up, or come into the dining room as you entered to offer you something to eat... Thank you Jordan for another awesome video.... Keep healthy and safe in your travels!
What a treat!!! Bonanza was my favorite western of all time. Still watch show. So very kind of the owners to share with us! Now we can visit anytime on UA-cam ! Thank you so very much❤️❤️❤️
Wow! What a beautiful home. Very welcoming and warm atmosphere. That fireplace looks absolutely stunning. Imagine the house at Christmas time. Wow, wow, wow!! Thank you for showing us this, and I thank the owners for allowing us a unique peek at history. I used to watch the show but remember little of the setting inside. That horseshoe cactus art is quite creative. Love everything about this house. Thanks a bunch!!
I was 7 years old when Bonanza first aired on television September 1959. Bonanza came on Sunday night and the whole family would sit down and watch it. We all fell in love with Hoss he was my favorite.
That was so great for the owners to let you come back to vlog the inside. From me to the home owners Thank You for making this happen!
Hello how are you doing. I trust you are safe and in good health. God bless you.
That was awesome. How great of the owners to share it. Thank you for a trip down memory lane! ❤️
That show was a Saturday night fixture in our home. What a neat virtual walk-through of a much beloved tv family's home! Impressive homeowners and how well they have preserved the home! Thanks so much for sharing!
Loved this because I loved Bonanza!!!! It is amazing how even the kitchen is intact, and works!!!
I Love this Jordan the Lion!!
I'm 52-years old and remember watching the Ponderosa with my Father and his Father years ago..
Hello Larry how are you doing. I trust you are safe and in good health. God bless you.
Hey, Jordan, this was great! Thanks for all that you do. I so appreciate it. A special thanks to the homeowners for being so gracious to allow filming of the inside of their beautiful home that was at one time a big part of some of our lives. Thanks to you all.
Oh thank you Jordan! That was awesome! The homeowners were so nice to share their home with us! I love how they have kept even the original appliances. It’s a beautiful place. That cactus statue out back is stunning!
Hi Jordan. I know as a relative newcomer to your channel I haven’t seen very many of your vlogs yet, but I’d have to say this one has been my favorite so far! Many thanks to the homeowners for inviting you to do this, that is so generous and gracious of them. And you did a wonderful job pointing out all the details that were dear to my heart. I was a big fan as a kid growing up in the 60s, and my late husband and I would watch Bonanza on MeTV with great enjoyment. Thank you, this one made my day! ☺️👍🏼♥️
Meline
Thank you for going back. Thank you, thank you.
God bless you🍀
This was my Dad's favorite show .. We watched it as a family every Sunday night . I can remember Hoss and the leprechauns and how we all laughed so hard . Good vlog ! 🤠
I watched the first one and loved it. I'm so glad you were invited back to show us the inside.
Absolutely wonderful! Thank you homeowners!
Great tour! Much thanks to you and the homeowners! It is wonderful to see history preserved! We visited the Ponderosa house in Nevada back in 1998. As I recall we were told that the two hats [(and hat rack?) that were gifted to the homeowners were from that very house] were Little Joe and Hoss's hats that were left on the hat rack for sentimental reasons from the last time they were on the set. Not sure how true it was but it's a great addition to the authenticity of the home!
Thanks so much to the homeowners for sharing their home with all of us. I feel their pain as I live on the 14th fairway of a golf course in St Augustine Fl. We get hit at least 3-5 times a day have lost one window, one windshield and a dent in the car in the 4 yrs we have lived here. We collect weekly at least 25-30 balls in our yard and bushes. Thanks again Jordan Love the vlogs
What a special opportunity to get to see the inside of such an iconic home! Thanks Jordan! Thank you to the homeowners for preserving so much of it and sharing it with us.
Thank you for your time and effort and a big thank you to the owners for letting you do this. Great memories.
Thank you so much Jordon, everyone loves a tour of a celebrity’s home & this is impressive with so many original features, very generous of the home owner to invite us in & a big thank you to them. Jan 2021 Greetings from Sydney Australia. 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Thanks for the nostalgic walk-through. I was privileged to spend two Bonanza Celebration weekends at the Ponderosa II. It was amazing to watch you walk through and think - I was there, I was there...and I was there too! Glad to see this beautiful piece of history is in good hands.
The new owners couldn't be more perfect for the house!
WOW! Been in love with the Cartwright house my whole life. Love that layout of the main rooms
What a fun find. I came across this by accident and really enjoyed it. I had no idea that Mr. & Mrs. Greene had built this special house. I was tickled to see the first photo you showed, the one of the four "Cartwright's" standing in front of the "original" Ponderous house. I sent off for my copy of that photo when I was probably in early Junior High School. I still have it in my collection of photos. Thanks to you, Jordan, and to the home owners for this great video.
Dang, that was interesting! I so remember Bonanza from the time it first aired, and you have connected me once again to my childhood. Thank you for that from a 69-year old codger!
Awesome they invited you into the house! This was great to see!! Thank you Jordan and the homeowners!!❤️❤️❤️
Omg being a big fan of Bonanza this was a wonderful tour!! Thank you for this. I was fortunate to visit the original Bonanza set in Nevada in the late 1980's. That house is so well preserved and am obvious labor of love for the owners to preserve the legacy of Lorne Greene. Great job Jordan!!
A great tour! It's beautiful, thanks to the owners for showing us the inside!!!
Absolutely awesome video. Love the comparison of the yesterday and today photos. It was gracious of the homeowners to open their home for all of us to enjoy. It is Wonderful that they are keeping the ambiance of Bonanza and history alive!!
Beautiful at 81 I truly enjoyed this for I was one of the 150,000 who watch from the beginning to the end.. I miss them all from Bonanza God bless you and thank you for the memories !!!
Thank you for this wonderful tour and trip down memory lane. Really hits home to my youth and those simpler, nicer days. Sad how all that great cast are gone now. Those were beautiful days.
I had no idea that the Greene's lived in a replica of the Ponderosa! How amazing! I loved this tour! Thanks to the homeowners for opening it up to everyone! I almost expected Hop Sing to run out to serve coffee!!!
Loved the tour. I've lived in AZ 47 years and my mom now lives about 1/2 mile away. I never knew this existed until I saw your last video. This is so awesome, and I wanted to thank the owners for allowing you inside and around the exterior. Next time I'm visiting my mom, I'm going drive by and check it out.
Hello how are you doing. I trust you are safe and in good health. God bless you.
Thanks Jordan for showing the mountain in palms springs and all the wind mills, just some of the views that I miss on the whitewater side of San Jacinto mtn. Pretty neat inside of Lorne Greens home and the Ponderosa Map! It was a beloved show that we wonder year kids grew up on . It's nice to see its kept intact. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Thank you for this tour.I am a huge fan of Bonanza and the cast.
I, somewhat unconsciously, decorated my front room with a similar feel to the one in this house. And in my first house also. I've always loved the Bonanza house and it just feels right somehow.
First a thank you to the homeowners both for letting us view their wonderful home and for being such great caretakers for such an iconic house! We need more people like you to take care of our legacy homes and buildings! Jordan I thought the exterior Vlog that you did was terrific but this really takes it over the top I had to watch it twice to make sure I didn’t miss anything. Another great example of the quality of your work and your dedication in bringing these outstanding experiences to your subscribers. Thank You so much. 🤠
Hello Bob how are you doing. I trust you are safe and in good health. God bless you.
Thank you Jordan, for taking us back to Ponderosa. And a big thank you for the new owners, who made this house feel like Loren and his wife were still living there. Very kind of them to open it up for you to blog. I really liked the merry go round Little Joe horse. He had a pinto horse on the show for years. Miss these guys, they had one of the best long running western show on T.V. Sad when Dan Blocker passed away. Thank you so much for going there to do this piece and for the owners!!!!
Thank you to the owners for letting us see the inside and outside. Its immaculate, BEAUTIFUL🤗 I grew up in Soda Springs Ca, in the Sierra Nevadas and use to go to the Ponderosa Ranch loved going, even took my son there . So sad it's gone but this was such a treat and brought back many memories💗 Thank you again💗
I actually met all the Bonanza cast back in the early 60's...It was during the March of Dimes telethon taking place at the California State Fairgrounds in Sacramento, California...(at that time the Fairgrounds were located on Stockton Blvd...such wonderful memories!)
I was there also. Dont remember seeing you.
I too met PA, little Joe,
Hoss was sick so he wasn't there
They were in Cincinnati for something and came to an orphanage for a sort of met and greet with us kids
Couldn't believe how silver Pa"s hair was
Later learned it was a hairpiece made of Llama hair
Red Buttons was there also did a comedy show and met and greet
Was a great day and wonderful memory
Watching the show after that just felt so personal
Lots of Sunday night growing up memories in this vlog, Jordan. Thank you and thank you to the current owners for allowing us to see inside the Ponderosa II.
Great way to start my day. My Grandma loved Lorne Greene and we watched Bonanza every week. Thanks Jordan
This is really cool! I haven't even watched much of the show and I couldn't stop watching this. Owners have obviously loved it and protected it for future generations. It's a living museum!
Wow, first that was so sweet of the owners to have actually invited you back to tour the home! How very thoughtful! The home is amazing! They did such a wonderful job replicating the living room areas and also the rest of the house was made to keep that theme going! What was really special is seeing Lorne Greene in the photo match-ups! I love how the bathroom and kitchen were unchanged too! This vlog was a five thumbs up!!
🐴🐴I love this vlog! I used to watch Bonanza with my Grandpa when I was little. I could not stop smiling through it. Thank you, Jordan I love it💙💙
Loved this. So glad the home owners invited you back. Thank you to them and God bless America. Ponderosa was as 🇺🇸 as you can get!
Thank you to the homeowners for allowing you to vlog the inside. Thank you Jordan for always presenting informative, respectful content which gets you into places that others don't. Beautiful home and great history.
Hello Linda how are you doing. I trust you are safe and in good health.
Delighted that the current homeowners were so gracious to share an inside tour of Lorne Green’s Bonanza home because I was a bit disappointed when Jordan did the original exterior tour because I was curious. So now that we got to see the inside of the home today and photos of the interior from the 60s and the TV set, we get a full historical peek and thank you so much for sharing with Bonanza fans. I absolutely love the content brought to us through UA-cam. Great channel Jordan. Love your Hollywood Tours. American tv and film is special Americana culture that ties many people together through the love of entertainment. TV and film is fun and also brings understanding and learning about people and different ways of living and being.
Good job Jordan with the documenting of Ponderosa ll in Mesa Arizona! And kudos to the current owners for letting you do such a great job on your video for this exploration so all the rest of us could see. That was so hospitable of the owners! How they set everything up for you to be able to just walk through and narrate for us!
Jordan you have such a great reputation that people trust inviting you into their homes and know that you will do a great job. This was awesome to see. Thank you Jordan. God bless
This was so special. Always loved Bonanza and the Cartwrights. Thank you to the owners and to you, Jordan, for making this vid possible.
Absolutely amazing Bonanza was my all favorite TV show as a kid. This was just the best thing i have seen in a long time. WOW!
Awesome vlog. I got to see this house for $1.00 when it was shown. I was born and raised in Arizona. Bonanza was one of my family's favorite programs on tv. Thanks for bringing back a wonderful childhood memory. I'm on my granddaughter tablet. She loved the vlog too.
@Robert Condon Now that statement is the dang truth!! We can only hope there are still 'some' parents out there that remember those values.
That is so cool that the homeowners saw your Vlog and asked you to come back and do the inside of the house. The inside of the house is absolutely amazing! I love how they are keeping it true to what it originally looked like! ❤️😀
Amazing home, the details are so impressive. Thank you so much to the home owners for sharing with us. This was so much fun !!
I went to the original location of bonanza and got to do a tour of the house. ..
I never knew that there was a bonanza 2. ..wow. .this is a wonderful treat and the house is gorgeous! Ty to the late and great Ben Cartwright ( Lorne Greene ) for being to do this. ..and also a big Ty to the home owners for being so gracious to share their home with the rest of the world. ..I think there is a little Bonanza in all of us. ...
Beautiful home and beautiful memories of an old favorite show. Makes my heart sing. I feel like owners live in a museum but a good one💗
Wow what a gorgeous home! I love that it’s been left authentic and not updated. The owners were so generous to let you tour their home so you could share it with us! Thanks Jordan❣️
What a beautiful place!!.. I watched Bonanza, and we watch the reruns now!.. How nice of them to let you show us!!.. Thank You for such an opportunity! ..Wonderful!!!!
I remember waiting all week to see Bonanza as a kid!!! Of course, it was in black and white so it was a treat to see the furnishings in color! I loved that show so much that my home is decorated in the same style! Thank you for bringing back fond memories!!!
This was amazing!!! Such a special treat!!! Tony said when he was in school he would rush home to watch Bonanza. Thank you Jordan. You truly find the most interesting things to Vlog, that most of us never knew even existed.. And a very special thank you to the Current Home Owners for sharing this Treasure with us all.♥️
WOW WOW WOW.. Fantastic tour of the inside of Lorne Greene's home. Thank you to you for taking us along and a HUGE thank you to the homeowners for letting you. #ponderosa ll
EMOCIONANTE, ATÉ CHOREI, POIS BONANZA ERA O SERIADO DA MINHA INFÂNCIA, EU NÃO PERDIA NENHUM EPISÓDIO QUE DEUS OS ACOLHA EM SUA GLÓRIA ETERNA.
