Bonanza...who grew up watching this?

Watched it with my Grandad. (never got to meet my Great's)

It came on in the afternoons where I grew up, so the grandparents were still busy.

What we had to watch with them was Hee-Haw, every Saturday evening at 6pm.

Bonanza was a damn good show…always some hidden lesson to be learned. I believe the poster Jenx used to like Bonanza.

little Joe and Hoss were my favorites

I still watch it every chance I get.

My brother and I still drop random Bonanza quotes all the time.

This morning he answered the phone with "it was you who stole them three pintos"

quote:

---

Ben Cartwright obviously should have been in prison … the man was thrice-widowed….

---

Hell you have to throw Hoss and Little Joe in prison as well. Every other episode one of them would have a girlfriend or fiancé killed in some weird circumstance.

Poor Adam couldn't pick up a book without somebody kidnapping or shooting him.

As a kid I wanted to watch F Troup instead

My great-grandma use to say, Lorne Green could leave his boots under her bed anytime...

I watched Perry Mason with my grandma in the summers.

But I watched Bonanza on my own some. It was okay.

I liked Laramie.

I did. Reruns with my dad. Had the opportunity to visit the bonanza ponderosa in Lake Tahoe back in 04' where they filmed a bunch of exteriors including the town, the ranch house, etc... A lot of old props and sets were still set up. At some point they closed it down in the past 16 years.
