Welcome, Big John. I don't think you'll get any arguments from anyone here about the release of the DVDs and the state of TV today.

:welcome Big John! Glad to have you with us here at Boomers. I was 10 when Bonanza first aired, and was hooked from the very first show. I'm anxiously awaiting the release of season 2 on December 7, 2010.....and I sure hope they hurry up with the release of the others. Boomers is a great place to talk about Bonanza and the Cartwrights, join right in and have fun!!

:welcome Big John to Boomers

I was six when Bonanza came on the air. I was too young to appreciate the first six (Adam) years. Several months ago I caught an episode on TV Land and I was hooked.

Have fun. :adam

Hey, Thanks for the feedback! December 2010? Great! I can wait that long!
You're right! Tv-Land is my "Knight To Remember!" I'm always working at that time, so thank goodness for my old-fashioned VCR!
And Age? is a matter of "selectivity"--when I "escape" to the Ponderosa, all time and space drop away, and I'm a kid again, wishing I was as cool as Adam! I even have the black shirt to prove it!! All-right, so it doesn't exactly fit anymore, but that's what dreams are made of, right? Big John

Welcome to BB, Big John!! :welcome
I was a teen when Bonanza was aired in the 1960's and you are right...we waited all week long for that special hour, 9 pm on Sundays to join, as you said, the 'coolest' family on TV.

Howdy, Big John! I'm a spry 63 and remember most ALL the westerns from the late 50's on. But BZ was my very favorite. I wanted Ben as a father, Hoss and Joe as brothers, and Adam as a husband. Oh, the fantasies I had............... :yes
