JanettheWicked- the scene with Joe reading the newspaper was funny and could just as easily have been the evening paper. Hoss or Adam could've returned home and said something like, "Wait until you see what's in the evening paper about our house guest!" Joe grabs the paper and starts reading aloud, ...

Joe falls and he falls fast - too fast. Of course, they all did, seeing as how each episode was independent of the others, with very few exceptions. It would be interesting to see Bonanza being made in today's format of continuing stories. We might actually get to know a few of the women who stole ...

Not in my top ten, but a good episode. One of my favorite "Joe gets kicked by Cupid again" episodes. I never knew why there was a problem for some fans with the age difference of Joe and Julia. In reality, Pat Crowley was only thirty when the episode was filmed and Michael Landon was 27. Hardly a va...

Guess it's true. Great minds think alike. My mom is also named Jan.

A true gem of an episode. It's definitely a classic. I agree with all that's been said about it. But after all these years, one comment, made by my mom, still sticks in my mind. We were watching the episode one afternoon (in syndication.) After the race, my mom commented that if Hoss and Adam really...

True about all that. Adam WAS the one who liked to come to the rescue of widows. Usually he favored blonde, empty headed ones though! Joe never seemed as serious about money either. He did like to spend freely in town. Probably since he was born after Ben was successful, he took his wealth a little ...

I don't have INSP or METV anymore but I still can watch The Virginian and The Big Valley on Youtube on my Firestick. I love those old westerns! :very happy Me too! The older I get, the more I am returning to watching the old shows. I have The Big Valley on DVD. I have some of the real old sitcoms. ...

The lovely Julia Grant sure was career oriented, I'll say that for her! Don't know how devoted a wife she would have made for Joe. :whistling 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" abou...

Yes Adamant, it's on INSP! Don't know why I wrote Hallmark. I think I was watching some other western on that channel. I had no idea that The Virginian went through so many cast changes. I've been reading up on the show to familiarize myself with the characters. For years i used to think the show go...

Just started watching this on Hallmark. Great show! I guess I have a lot of catching up to do because they are showing the episodes with John McIntire as the head of the ranch. We were always a big western family. My mom watched Bonanza, Gunsmoke, Wagon Train and The Big Valley. I watched most of th...
