TV: B is for...

Bonanza

PONDEROSA-BASED WESTERN ranchgoings with the redoubtable LORNE “GALACTICA” GREENE as paterfamilias Ben Cartwright, MICHAEL “TEENWOLF” LANDON as gold-hoarding Little Joe, and of course DAN BLOCKER as big ol’ Hoss. Along for the (bloody endless) ride: PERNELL ROBERTS (Adam), VICTOR SEN YUNG (the Chinese cook Hop Sing) and RAY TEAL (Sheriff Roy Coffee – eh?). As with all such Americana affairs, every single episode was the same. Best bit: map burning up in opening titles. Worst bit: “Due to an unforeseen change in our schedules, we now bring you an episode of…Bonanza”.

    Any woman who got involved with the Cartwrights didn’t last long, all of the sons were born to the 3 different wives of Ben.
