I just have watched this ep and from the first scene when Wiley appeared I was hypnotized by his voice. I googled his real name (Tommy Sands) and WOW- he was a singer I didn't knew. Love his songs, especially "The Worryin' Kind". Yes, there were several singers from the 50's and 60's who ...

Fun fact: The character of Bobby Dan played by Eric Christmas was named named for Dan himself: Bobby Dan Davis Blocker. His marker at his final resting place says B. Dan. D. Blocker; it shows what he was known as, and his birth name. I read about that many years ago. Leave it to Michael to do that!...

If you look at the people sitting in rocking chairs, watching when Hoss is supposed to have a gunfight, two of the people are Michael's mother-in-law and father-in-law. The third person was an actor hired. Michael purposely zoomed in on them to make sure they're on camera. Michael said he often wrot...

Yes, quite often single father, only single mothers I can think of off the top of my head are in My Son, My Son and Laura and Peggy. :thumbup Living in the west was hard on men but even harder on women. They tended to age quickly and caught illness's or had accidents and died young, especially on T...

I agree that many of the later episodes were very well written and directed. There were some I yawn through but many even Pernell would have loved. Michael was writing and directing many of the best but even the other writers seemed to be writing things political or many issues going on in the later...

How did Hoss and Joe end up with a wagon and where did Cochise go? Well, they had a wagon hidden behind a cactus to carry the body back to town. Joe just tells Cochise to go home and off he goes! I do love the way Hoss does sort of take over and Joe trusts Hoss enough to ask him to be his lawyer. I ...

This is the first episode Michael wrote/directed on his own. It was well thought out and both Lorne Greene and David Canary said that this was a favorite of theirs. It's among one of my favorites also!

That was a bit strange how forgiving she was when Joe killed several sons. I guess she figured she still had another son! I love the scenes of them trying to get her in the bath and then when Joe turns hairdresser and helps with her coiffeur!

I watched this last night and really liked the episode. Did you notice that during Joe's great escape he dropped his green jacket and hopped in the buckboard with Meena. He never went back for the jacket and it's probably still in that desert somewhere. :lol Maybe one of us Boomergals can go out th...

Michael said that he usually wrote an episode with Hoss in mind. He'd start to write and think about how Hoss would act or say. This is a good Hoss episode because of his compassion towards the wife and children. It was later re-written for a LHOP episode with Charles on a horse buying trip. Both ar...
