Reviews:
"This is one of the most moving and touching episodes of "Bonanza." Of course, it was always a quality program and this production shows why it was so much more than just another Western.
Some may call it predictable, but it still tugs at the heartstrings and the ending is most satisfying.
Eleven year old Gabrielle is an orphan blind girl who has no family except for her embittered grandfather, living like a hermit in the mountains after spending time in prison for a crime he did not commit.
Atter initially rejecting her, his heart softens and he comes to the Ponderosa to claim his granddaughter and even spends time with the Cartwrights on Christmas Eve." Written by davilbr on IMDb.com
"Airing on Christmas Eve of 1961 this film is a reworking of Heidi adapted to be a Christmas story for Bonanza. I believe it was subsequently broadcast in and around Christmas for the rest of the life of this series.
Dan Blocker and Michael Landon find little Diane Mountford alone on a trail after they found where the buckboard her parents were driving plunged down a mountain, killing them. She's blind and they were on their way to see her grandfather who lives like a hermit in the Sierra Nevadas. They bring her back to the Ponderosa.
When they reach her grandfather played by John Abbott he wants nothing to do with her. He's a bitter old man, sent to prison for a crime he didn't commit and has shunned society ever since.
But in the Shirley Temple tradition, young Ms. Mountford breaks the old man down. It all ends with Christmas at the Ponderosa.
This is a very touching episode and I'm glad some other viewers feel the same way I do." Written by bkoganbing on IMDb.com

Lorne Greene…..what a perfect casting as Ben Cartwright…..masterclass in acting….
I love reading the comments - it's almost like reminiscing with old friends :)
It is nice to read a lot of the comments after watching each episode Carla. I know what you mean.
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.
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.
@@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
Just.....love the Cartwrights
It’s now May, 2024.
But always a good time to say:
“Merry Christmas”. 🎄♥️🎄
Peace on Earth-Goodwill to men!!
Hearing Ben call Gabrielle “darling” makes me just about cry
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.
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!!
Thanks for sharing! We also recommend this movie: czcams.com/video/gnsDgGLsc-k/video.html
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
Love this touching episode. It does bring a tear to your eye. The child sees with her heart ❤, and that what matters.
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.
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.

Hands down, this is one of the best Bonanza movies I have seen.
Top 5 episode
@@adrian72300 l8 6
De nada.
It's not a movie
Never enough of bonanza ❤️
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.
She would have been better off staying with the Cartwright's rather than her elderly grandfather.
Willie Gordon: True, and we don't know what the outcome is.
@@AndrewVelonis True, Willie Gordon.
Love is the most powerful force in the universe, God is love❗
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 .
The Cartwright brothers are just too precious.
Very nice upbringing of Ben Cartwright.
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.
Me too! Longing for a world like this.
Bonanza was one of my favorite TV shows when I was growing up. How I wish they still made shows like this.
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.
@@jlove7723 coz she was heart broken and in a bad mood.. Shez just a kid with dead parents who died recently remm
@@taniaahmed83 You're overthinking my comment.
@@jlove7723 hahahah I just realised tht... Ur right.... ☺️
@@taniaahmed83 🙂🙂
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 CZcams.
Beautiful story, heart warming,kindness & love expressed by the people who found her!

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!
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 love Hoss he is so helping and has the best heart ♥️ out of all the Cartwrights
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
He is definately one of my favorite charecters. He has such a big, kind, and generous heart. Not to mention a big appetite! lol
it is just a MOVIE... and you:a guy loves a guy so are yoy ga....
@@robertheinrichvonseyfenste267
What a pathetic loser you are!
@@robertheinrichvonseyfenste267 Ignorant fool can't even spell....stay out of the comments, no one wants your idiot ranting.
Love this show..WE HAD THE BEST entertainment and music 🎶Thanks for posting God Bless 🙌🙏❤😊
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!
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'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 was just thinking the same thing that story is like Heidi
Gabriella, what an angle.
Touching story.
What could I have done without Bonanza in this covid time .
Made in 60s still good to watch
Maybe learn to spell
@@alancrase8767 learn2 love is better
@@alancrase8767 simmer down now mister
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.
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
Look it's a young and handsome Doc Baker as Mr Pastor ...... Beautiful episode !
Talk about a tear jerker...
I went through quite a lot of tissues watching this story.
Yup....
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.
It's Bonanza's version of Heidi. I wish they had done more Christmas stories. 2. In 14 years was nowhere near enough.
I´ve noticed that Hoss and Little Joe often hang together. A most touching Christmas story - one of my favorites.
Very touching and not too saccharine. Too bad there wasn't a sequel. Many thanks!
I love watching this old movie show every sense l was a little girl l watched with great grandfather, my grandparents, my parents
Even old people who hv their love stollen from them need love 💘
Yes. So true...
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.
Great family viewing.
A lovely story
Great Episode with touching story. Classic is indeed much better for family.
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.
New west or old West, Bonanza is the best.
Appears to have been inspired by the Shirley Temple vehicle "Heidi" and adapted perfectly to Bonanza
Yes exactly
WODERFUL EPISODE SHOWS HOW YOU LOVE YOUR DEAR OLD ONES😍♥️🌹
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! 👍
MY LORD BLESSED BONANZA FOREVER
THANK YOU for letting me watch this !!!!
This episode Made me cry
I like Gabrielles's blue coat. I wish I had one of those!
21 years in prison for something you didn't do...I'd be pissed too
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? 🙂
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!
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.
Gabrielle, like a story of Heidi told by Bonanza. Nicely done.
...Bonanza! I remember watching it with my Grandpa!
Watched it Sunday night with my Grandparents
The Cartwright boys had big kind hearts took after there Dad
I LOVER BONANZA
BONANZA LIVING IN MY HEART FOREVER
27:32 Gabrielle is blind but has a wicked left hand hook slap!
🤣
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.
I watched it again, it really lovely❤❤❤👍 👌😍🥰😘😘😘
And the kids just walked up the mountain.. while it looked hard for the guys...
Around 10:59 .... Hop Sing says "I bump into chair" 🙂💜
That was hilarious
Worst than a little blind girl.
This episode was broadcast on my 5th birthday! My family and I were living in Chetek (pronounced sheh/tek), Wisconsin then.
Who says Christmas miracle's don't happen.
❤️❤️
I am an old hermit, and I couldn't have turned her away the first time!
bonanza programa que me gustaba ver y me sigue guatando,yo miro bonanza en youtube
Most beautiful episode.😇😇
The story is based on “Heidi,” starring Shirley Temple.
Fantastic episode thanks for sharing it!
Hey, it's Dr. Baker from Little House. :)
WOW that episode was a tear yerker, Bonanza was the greatest TV show ever l really love it!!!😊☺️🤗🤔
Such a beautiful story👍 👌👌⭐⭐⭐⭐😍🥰😘👏
Glad you liked it

Doc Baker from Little House on the Prairie
Classic western
Made me cry again
They treated Gabrielle like the little princess she is. She could turn my heart around.
She went on to live with the Pasters and visit her grandfather often
Perfect for Christmas,revealing its true meaning.I cried too and l'm just an old man like grandfather.Thankyou.xx.
Whose from the 60s...was it really friendly nice cozy back then in the USA? Every one was friends.. No discrimination, no violence etc??
Episode which made tears!
Better than now. Still family with honesty and values, but midway though the kids were celebrating youth and imaginative color, or protesting the war...some violence then like the mistake at Penn State. Generally around the old Town where the Alamo was, there wasn't much problem between cultures. There were old doorways that you could find on the side of a building that used to discriminate. But things were moving in the right direction. The hippie kids were not too prejudiced one from another, and we all had friends from different backgrounds. In that town, there were invisible (and not written of) land borders. Everyone knew. In the day you were safe if not too lingering, but at night you generally didn't cross invisible lines. It was not perfect, yet moving in the better direction...unlike what the news tries to tell us now.
However, that may not be the truth in many quarters. I like diversity and dislike the words " cultural appropriation" because I feel that many distinct cultures or clubs to memorialize our backgrounds assures that all can live peacefully as one nation; that is best. Sharing clothing, foods, decorative objects and art, music, mythical stories...that can be a beautiful and life enhancing thing! ❤
The core value, imo, was always to support the documents that helped ensure people might have as many individual rights as could be had- barring hurting others.
This is what needs keeping, no matter who are the future occupants. Caucasians know their DNA is blending gradually into their smelting pot here , and that is natural. The old ones only want the family values, rights to worship, the honesty, decency, and preservation of our original constitution. Why? Because it is a legal document that states all rights come from The Creator, The Devine, God.
This is very important to preserve since it means there can be no dictator, no king, no tyrant. Only the inalienable rights you are invested with as a citizen. I wish I could add that to all Country's constitutions...and pray all coming after me know the importance of holding on to this one thing. Especially.
I knew many of that generation before me that were honest good people when Bonanza was on. Our neighbors through 2 moves were best friends and Hispanic. My mom worked with people from various cultures, and eventually I worked alongside one of these who became as my mentor many years - a good lady of dark heritage who was like a deaconess in her church.
Part of what held the society together were the old war veterans, passing now. So staunch and acting so certain,, sometimes maddeningly so,, lol..
Part was the stronger family units, even in the face of a youth rebellion. Part was the ideals of feeling a right to privacy, a need for self sufficiency and inner strength. It was a sort of quiet pride not seen as much now.
Hate to say... but no one would have begged to people that had already hurt them, especially if told the help the desperate so needed would become an indebtedness lasting for generations.
People were sort if naive then, I think, yet oddly many could read right through the soul of others. More time was spent together. Maybe that was why.
Not as much despair or sarcasm as now...just a little. Less frequently found. More often overcome.
Disasters like in all ages, but you never were bombarded with the knowledge if so many daily. The youth were spared understanding how tough old age got- on purpose. They were just encouraged to hold various values ( slightly different from group to group, but not that different) throughout their lives.
I think in the 70s and 80s, maybe into the 90s things were still improving, and things could still come together soon, since there was hope of that not long ago.
Currently...we are being interfered with by invisible personages here and abroad. We'd be better off without interference.
Well... Hollywood, just off the Santa Ana and San Diego freeways, made worlds and universes of illusion...
This is the most spectacular episode of bonanza I've ever seen, it brought tears to my eyes
A child's toy bear? Come on folks, the Teddy Bear was named after President Teddy Roosevelt; many years later.
Wouw that what you find important in this episode?
One of the best episodes made. I love this one for sure.
Nice story 🥰
Excelente episódio 👏👏👏
Halfway through - this is leading up to a real heart-warming "grouch learns to love" tearjerker
Still watch all westerns
This sweet girl breaks my heart with her innocence!💔😭
POR SIEMPRE BONANZA💖💞💗💁♂️🙍♀️
BONANZA ERA O SERIADO DA MINHA INOCENTE INFÂNCIA, EU ERA APAIXONADA POR TODOS ELES E PELA FAZENDA PONDEROSA.

The cartwrights are proof broken homes can work with pure love and leadership...
Another great episode!
