Howdy strangers! I don't like Bonanza after 9th season.

Post by alencarbp »

I'm old enough to remember Bonanza on TV in the early sixties, when I had still my own tin sheriff badge, and a toy gun.
Now I have been buying the DVD's "Bonanza The Official Season" from first season until the last release, the eighth season.
I reckon I'll stop to purchase them after the 8th season. Frankly, I think the TV show dropped the quality slowly by the 7th and 8th seasons, and I don't mind about Adam's absence. The famous Bonanza props become cheaper (furniture in somenone's houses, saloons in other cities, women clothes, etc.).
But the main reason is, there's few first-class episodes in 7th and 8th seasons, like "Ride the Wind" parts 1 and 2 in 7th season. But in previous seasons we can find a bunch of them with outstanding quality, like "Twilight City", "Marie My Love", "Hoss and the Leprechauns", "Journey Remembered", "Enter Thomas Bowers", "A Pink Cloud Comes from Old Cathai", "No Less a Man", "Love me Not", "The Toy Soldier", "She Walks in Beauty".
With the exception of "Marie My Love" from the fourth season, the above list is only about fifth and sixth seasons, and if I dig into previous years, I'm sure the list become progressive bigger, the older the better.

Hi AlenCarbp :welcome I am currently watching season 9 episodes for the first time and am really enjoying them. Season 7 must've been a real dud because TV Land skipped that entire season before airing season 8 episodes.

I've noticed that season 9 Little Joe is starting to morph into Charles Ingalls: his hair is much longer and greyer. :ohmy
