Dan Haggerty as Grizzly Adams was my all-time childhood hero. He had a major impact on me. I hope to meet you some day in Heaven!
Yeah ... that will be the most Awesome time... when we get to see our friends and family again....
Ja, das war eine sehr schöne Sendung im Fresehen, schade das diese Sendung nicht mehr wiederholt wird!😂 Alles mögliche wird wer weiß wie oft gezeigt, aber solche Sendungen leider nicht das finde ich sehr, sehr schade!😂😂😂😂😂😂
He was a great actor and a caring friend. I miss him. Love ya dan, from hunny bunny
I'm 62 years old and sometimes I sing that song from the show word for word still remember it great song
maybe...
I am 50yrs old and I have owned the cd set for over a decade because of the impact it had on me as a kid. Thanks Dan for some of the great moments of being a kid in the late 70s.
This show had a huge influence on the rest of my life, im 54 now and still go out wild camping bushcraft, i have a great outdoor life full of experience thanks to Grizzly AND Ben!!!!
There was something magical about it..! 💙🇬🇧
How these kind of TV shows, with clear concepts about Nature are missing today! Simple stories with values.
A role model for so many children growing up in the 70's and 80's. Take me home . Grizzly Adams 🐻😊
RIP Dan Haggerty forever you'll be Grizzly Adams
Actors today can't hold a candle to Dan, long live grizzly adams!
Being British I guess we didn't see or get certain shows as they were in the US. Early 90s I became a fan of Grizzly (and the likes of Littlest Hobo etc). Think it was on our Channel 4. I remember it was Sundays. I also remember one day choosing to run from the dinner table as we wrapped up and insisting on watching Grizzly Adams. I must've been six. When you're little you don't see things as you do as an adult and so Grizzly Adams was something else.
Years and years later when I read Dan Haggerty had passed, and I was late twenties/early thirties, I found myself heartbroken. A childhood hero gone.
Folk can mock but when you're very little, imagination is a great thing and Grizzly Adams made me dream. Made me forget my Home Counties, dreary upbringing with no money and imagine the wide open landscapes of the USA.
RIP Dan.
Dan Haggerty will be so miss he pass away in 2016 and will always be a great grizzly man that he was I mat him once and you could not ask for any better friend then him , I miss you my friend,,, rest in peace......😢
In my opinion this was one of the greatest shows in television history. I loved watching it as a child and enjoy sharing it with my son today. Dan haggerty was one of the greats and never will be forgotten. Rest in peace old friend.
When i was a child in the 70's/80's i used adore "life and times of Grizzly Adams", i've never missed a show(even the film). I am 45 now and Grizzly Adams still have a place in my heart and taught me to respect nature. Now i have passed the mantle to me 4 kids who love this. Passing on the magic to the next generation.
Same here! Greetings from Croatia!
We need another Grizzly Adams type show right now!!!!!! These shows were absolutely fantastic!!!!!!
Yes!!! This guy was my hero growing up. He gave me a love and connection with animals while growing up, in the city. I can't forget him. He is a big part of my life and innocence, till this day! So.... how do we get this petition started.
@@Traewing I’m not sure but these children today need great shows like this.
Dan Haggerty was the apitamy of what was good back then. His humble character and his beloved bear Ben. Dan you and Ben are now walking the wilderness of heaven together as god intended. Children of today should watch your stories and learn to appreciate our beautiful world and the nature that resides within it. God bless you Dan
I grew up watching this show. Sorry to hear he passed away. So gentle an actor. Filmed at a more innocent time.
This show should be aired once more...I love Dan Haggerty and his connection with animals!
I adored this serie more than 40 years ago as a kid, always dreamed of living the same life in nature...but life got in the way. Now all those years later my kids still know who Grizzly Adams (Dan Haggerty) is and what he meant for me! After being retired some years ago I bought a house in the Belgian Ardennes, moved there and now enjoy life in the silence and beauty of nature. Thank you Dan!!!
I loved this show as a child and always wished I could live with Grizzly Adams and Ben up in the mountains surrounded by the animals and the beautiful wilderness. Hearing the song makes me tear up. Lovely, happy memories.
You were an icon to many generations; we loved you as Grizzly Adams. RIP kind sir, we will never forget you.
"God's backyard is something that should be taken care of". Priceless! I haven't seen an episode or heard the heart wrenching theme song in 44 years. Three nights ago the song Maybe appeared in my you tube feed. I haven't stopped crying since. Thank you GOD for leading me back to my childhood joy. I will be looking for Dan and Ben in Heaven
Loved grizzly Adams when I was young,
Brilliant man R.I.P
I remember feeling warm and fuzzy while watching Grizzly Adams as a child. I will never forget you Grizzly aka Dan Haggerty.
Rest in Peace Dan, great memories watching Grizzly Adams.
The show resonated so well with people, because the character of Grizzly Adams was a manifestation of who Dan really was. I've read & heard so many stories from other actors, to crew members to fans. He was a kind, gentle, and jovial soul.
One of my childhood heroes
The same
Mine tooo.... And I am in Italy
me too ..
It's so nice to see how much he enjoyed being on the show. He seemed like a really nice person. It's a shame he's gone. RIP
I watch it this moment on Croatian TV, i never missed it as a kid. Still enjoy it
I loved the show, it's been 46 years now and i can still sing the words to the opening song. What a wonferful Tv series! Such good family morales. RIP Dan Haggerty
What a wonderful show that was. I was a young kid back them, and the whole idea of Grizzly Adams, his friends, the woods, the animals, all just pulled me in. Now I know that America was going through some hard times back then, but this show I think represented what people yearned for amidst the difficulties. Such a beautiful and innocent show, with wonderful ideas. I wish we had something like that today.
Yeah, Griz was our Sesame Street and Electric Company. Be kind and help when you can and be willing to learn love to survive. Y'all getting me emotional. And I pride myself on being hardcore like my grams with my grands. lol.
Wish they still did shows like this. Three men inspired me as a nature lover and photographer, one was Ansel Adams, the second John Muir, and the third Grizzly Adams. Thank you and RIP Dan.
Great show I watched every episode as a kid growing up in the 70s
Every time I hear the theme song, it takes me back to when I was a just a boy. My dad, and I, would sit and watch Grizzly Adams from beginning to end every week. Dan passed in January, 2016. I lost my dad in January, 2017. Both losses left an giant hole in my life.
Scot lanter agreed totally 80s flicks are best greetings from UK England Essex near London 👍🐾🐺
@ Scott Lanter have You heard about Jane? aka Nightbirde ..She is certainly anything but plain, 😘 She's in Zanesville, Oh. muy bueno, AGT. She has cancer. 💔
Love Dan wot a gentleman lover of nature and animals and life
I grew up in the seventies and eighties and that show really influanced me in a positive way. I dreamed of a father like grizzly adams and living in the mountains. I grew up as an animal trainer (horses, dogs, macaws & parrots) and live out in the country. I live my dream, although its not the fairy tale life of the tv show, it is a beautiful life nonetheless.
Compare what they feed to the brains of children today VS to what they did when we were growing up.
Probably the best TV show of all time! Thank you Dan Haggerty
Take care of the animals in heaven
What a good man. This show shaped me and my love for nature. I can't thank him enough.
You are now reunited with your beloved wife, and with Ben. Thank you, for the wonderful experience you gave so many. Mr. Haggerty, sir.
Loved Grizzly Adams as a teen girl and still watching the DVD as a 50 something woman! Rest in peace Dan!!
As a kid I loved watching the Grizzily Adams show. Around 1985 or 1986 I was a young deputy at the Men's L.A. County Jail. One morning as I was about to
get off work from the night shift in the Jail Hospital I was told to go up to the "old side" to escort an inmate back to the 2nd floor unit in the jail hospital where note worthy inmates were housed. When I arrived at the general population module I was given a JRC (jail record card) and told to escort the inmate to the hospital ward. I was amazed to look at the inmate and see that it was Dan Haggerty standing before me in a dark blue jail jump suit. He was barefoot and
the leggings of his jump suit was a bit short for his height. He had no possessions. His hair and beard was exactly as he wore it on the Grizzily Adams Show.
He was very polite and quiet. I had small talk with him as I escorted him to the proper housing. Some deputy must of have recognized him and ordered the rehousing. To me he was so well known and highly recognizable and I couldn't believe he was not screened better in the process and housed accordingly.
He wasn't in custody for very long. I remember this so clearly even though it was 35 or 36 years ago. He was a gentle kind man just as he is remembered
by his loved ones. Take care good man.....
A really gentle man.I truly wish I had the pleasure of meeting him.Thanks for the memories Ben.
Ben?
Or Dan?
Or both?
How many of us watched every week wanted to go and live in the woods? Man I did! And now at 51, with a hectic modern Life...I dream of doing it every day! Rip Dan. You gave us something to dream on with.
As a child, this was my favorite show. Thank you for posting this great interview!
absolutely loved this show as a child! wish they would play reruns.
I had the hugest crush on him. So big and strong and gentle!! Just loved Grizzly Adams.
I grew up with Grizzly Adams TV Show here in Germany. He was my childhood hero. This series was the best I ever saw . And Dan was the best Choice for this role. 🥰
There is no one better that can play that part as grizzly adams as Dan Haggerty can , the life and times of grizzly adams was a very holsum show with no blood and guts of killing like there is today and all I can say is Dan no one can be grizzly adams but you , and we miss you all that touch our hearts with so much joy 😊..........
Grizzly Adam's made a great impression on me as a kid! It was always intriguing and comforting to watch the show. The fact that you acknowledge God for His creation is refreshing and very rare, especially now a days. Thanks for one of the coolest show of my childhood Dan!
I miss Grizzley Adams, Dan Haggerty, the native american, and crazy mad jack, they all touched my heart, as a boy, and molded me, into, an even better man, learned so many things..
I watched Grizzly Adams for the first time today. I absolutely love it. It had great morals and values.
I was so in love with him , I was 11. Beautiful show.
met dan at hollywood show shortly before he passed. Nice guy.
RIP Dan Haggerty you was a real true gentleman loved you
I watched this as a kid and really loved the show. So peaceful and calming. Made you feel better.
Loved Dan! He was my pretend dad when I was little.❤
Him and Michael Landon from Little House were my pretend dads.
I was watching Grizzly Adams in Poland in late 70's. It was so fascinating and so much fun. Good times
AS A YOUNG PERSON IN THE 1970 GRIZZLY ADAM IT TORT ME ABOUT NATURE AND THE KINDNESS OF MEN LIKE ADAMS
Tort!? Really lol
RIP Mr Haggerty. My love for the mountains and everything nature started with you. thank you sir.
What a wonderful television show I remember it well it's a shame they don't have stuff like this on television today
Nothing but garbage on tv, loved the 70's
I have to say, the Grizzly Adams show was my brother, sister’s, and my favorite tv series. We loved it so much. It was filled with the outdoors, an amazing assortment of cool animals, a huge bear, a cool guy, and great stories. We never missed this show. We were so upset when it was taken off the air for some less than stellar cookie cutter shows.
His show was my first favorite when I was a little first grader. His kind eyes and gentle voice made an impression. A great show.
When I was in preschool, the character of Mr Adams was a role model to me.
"Ben" is buried at Olympic Games Farm in Washington State...i have been there,its awesome.
I absolutely love this show. Watched it all the time as kids.
He was a very nice man, I met him in person in 98, RIP Dan
I was born near lake Tahoe, California in the forest so I was able to relate to Grizzly Adams because it very much was how life was for me on that mountain, now the world has closed in and there is no wide open spaces anymore, it's very heart breaking!
In any case, RIP Mr. Haggerty!!
Such an amazing time being a child when The Life And Times Of Grizzly Adams came out. I went to see it at five years old and it has stayed in my heart ever since. Such a beautiful story/man and movie as well as a TV show. Takes me back to an innocent time of nothing buy happy memories. Thanks to all who were involved. Love to you all!
God bless you, Dan Haggerty. Thank you for the wonderful movies /stories. They shaped my childhood. They still let me believe in the positive of every living being 🙏🕯️🌟❤️
The life and times of Grizzly Adams, one of my favourite shows as a kid. Such a great feel good programme.
I actually teared up when he passed away. Always wanted to meet him. Always wanted to live like that. I'm closer now than I ever been. I do live back in the woods of Southern Ky. Lots of animals here and I do talk to the deer, lol. I've been within 20 yards of them and videoed them. They didn't seem to mind.
Happy that you made your dream a reality peace and blessings
That show had a huge positive impact on a lot of people, myself included. Thanks to that show and Grizzly Adams, and the theme song, I ended up buying property and building a cabin in Colorado in the late '80's that our family still uses to this day. As a young person in the '70's, the show and the song really defined my feelings about the mountains, the outdoors, the animals, and nature in general. Really great stuff, Dan Haggerty will be missed, but never forgotten, he was a great guy.
@@trevorjameson3213 Yes indeed He was .. I miss Him 💜💔💜

One of my childhood favorites. I had a crush on Grizzly Adams. That was my celebrity love. Lol. The show was so wholesome, and adventurous. I loved it.
Once a week I couldn't wait to watch the show and sing Maybe by Thom Pace. RIP Dan, your Spirit lives free in harmony and majesty, you're home now.

Rest in Peace Mr. Haggerty. I watched your show as a child and loved it. It seems the times when a family could sit down together and watch a wonderful show together are long gone. You will be missed .
We remember and this was a show that taught such good things. Good shows are no longer around like this.
Thanks to you, dear sir I am today exactly where I wanted to be since I was a little girl. I was writing songs about you, about that amazing life in the nature, and the show felt like home to me.
Wish I could have met you in person.
Now I have my own Joshua (the Racoon) coming to eat on my porch and all the animals and people are amazing around me. God bless you and God bless my home and America! This is where my heart finally found its peace. Thank you from the bottom of my ❤️!
He was a big influence on me too. Do you still have the songs you wrote about him? What state do you live in?
Dan is awesome. He actually was a close friends of my fathers and he took me to my 6th grade graduation in Burbank. Awesome!
May GOD bless and keep DAN forever ❤️
was a great show , sad to see another star from my childhood pass RIP Dan
Grizzly Adams aka Dan Haggerty along with Ben the Bear was a wonderful beautiful series. 8/28/16
When I was a kid, there'd be hell to pay if I didn't get to watch Grizzly Adams...
There were very few shows I watched on a regular basis back in the '70s, but Grizzly Adams was one of them. Once I heard the song playing I dropped whatever I was doing and it was TV time.
All my grams and mom let me watch too. But maybe it was my love for it that allowed this show to be played. It was innocent and safe, unlike today.
