    I've watched season one of "Bonanza" several times, and for me, these are the three moments that really stand out.
    #3: "A Rose For Lotta" (Episode 1, 1959)
    #2: "A Rose For Lotta" (Episode 1, 1959)
    #1: "Enter Mark Twain" (Episode 5, 1959)
    I neither own nor claim any rights to this material. Just having some fun with it. Thanks for watching!

      I can relate..Sunday's at 10pm after Bonanza was the only night my sister and I could stay up. We went to bed pretending to ride a horse and be our favouite Cartwrights. I was Adam, my sister was Hoss ( she was a chunky kid), my mom was Little Joe and of course my dad was Ben

      When I was growing up, back in the late '80s, one of the local stations ran reruns of old shows after the 10:00 news. It was usually one episode of the original Star Trek, followed by back-to-back episodes of Bonanza. I would wait until my mom was asleep and sneak down to watch them all. Fell in love with this kind of storytelling. So many good memories.
      Pretty sure she caught on to what I was doing pretty early on, but if you're a single mom, isn't having your teenage son staying up to watch that kind of TV better than a lot of other things he could be up to?
      BTW -- Don't worry; I turned out OK!

      I have been very impressed by the 4 Seasons of SEAL Team that I have watched all the episodes of.
      Between 2004 and 2011, I spent a bit more than 5 years total, in theater (Middle East/Afghanistan), as part of a 28 year career.
      From scenes in combat, training, physical therapy, parachuting (including HALO and HAHO), even scenes at the VA, and in CONUS it is Extremely well done, and remarkably accurate. They portray some controversial elements, including combat against the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Quods forces, Russian mercenaries, and other situations. Several things they depicted, similar incidents occurred After they had filmed an episode.
      I strongly suspect I know at least one of the advisors for the series.

      My favorite Hoss episode snc scene though was the girl he pined for that married a flashy city man instead. He ruined her, abandoned her. Hoss came to find her, and she died giving birth. The man showed up that night to extort money from Hoss if Hoss was going to take the baby home to the dead woman's father.
      He pulled a gun. Hoss just walked over and nailed him with a downward fist like squashing a roach. Great scene.

      Here in Norway, Bonanza has been running on tv2 every saturday to sunday at 11:00 ever since I was a very young boy
      To me, bonanza feels so old time, cause it really was. Even back in the 80's

      I don't see him being portrayed that way in the show. Yes, Adam was portrayed as an engineer and charismatic. Little Joe was straight up the lady's man, but outside of that, he was the most shallow of the brothers, Dan Blockers character definitely was more than kissing the pretty girls then finding a way to not make it work so the next episode he could kiss the pretty girl...
