I can't fault her completely. She was ambitious and went after what she wanted. I sometimes wonder if this episode was written as an almost "inside joke" about some actors and how they can be so single minded in their quest for fame. The BZ script writers were obviously very familiar with the actin...

The kids are adorable, and I liked Ben turning into "King Solomon". However, I don't like the spooky part of the plot; in fact, I think the episode would have been better without the Reverend character.

The geographic scenery is markedly improved over that of previous seasons, something that I have come to associate with the season 7-and-on era. I am a huge Adam fan, but I find much to love about the seasons after his departure; I'm probably the *only* Adam fan who does! I think they did seem to f...

I always liked Míriam Colón's character in "To Stop A War"; she seemed to be resigned to her life as what I will charitably call a "paid female companion" ... not a typical Bonanza female character. She was on Gunsmoke today, so I thought I would see if she was still alive. Sadly, she died in 2017 a...

That scene is not in my episode and it's the uncut official USA release. That's odd and it's also odd that Joe is teaching Annie how to shoot a gun. Are yo...

It would be interesting to go and check each Christmas and New Year's Day episode for each year Bonanza aired to see which episodes debuted on or, as it would have happened most years, near Christmas and New Year's Day. For Christmas: season episode title air date 1 15 The Last Hunt 19-Dec-59 2 46 ...

I finally got to watch this episode - it was pretty disturbing. The teacher had some - shall we say "anger management issues" and hit his wife and Jamie during the course of the episode. I think Mitch Vogel did a great job in this episode. There is a quick "Abigail Jones" sighting - Eileen Ryan, who...

Here's a recent article about "Walter" - his real name was Pluto, and he was on quite a few TV shows:

I sure like Annie; I'm glad she ended up on top, especially vs Trap Door Gregory! But I have never understood why Trap Door wanted the other claim so badly; it seems to me that no one knew anything about either claim that would make it preferable to the other.
