That scene always annoyed me. Why did Joe ask? SURELY he remembered? If it was just for the audience's benefit, I think we could've worked it out ourselves!!


I sure can understand that, as I had the same observation. But then I thought : I'm quite sure, Joe does know. But he maybe wonders if it ...

My mom was also the disciplinarian of my family. She was the oldest girl in the family and just knew what to do. She usually got my dad's belt to threaten us but I don't remember her ever hitting us with it. She did spank with her hand, though. This was in the1950's when Dr. Spock said they should ...

I wasn't born when Bonanza was on television. Little House on the prairie was famous but I couldn't watch it, as I didn't have the channel. I started to read the books and later I could watch the episode, showed several times at french television.

Concerning Bonanza, I discovered it 2009. I was ...

:ben It's so emotional to bring back this lovely young lady and her child to Virginia City, where she belongs, after all she had to go through. It sure was a hard time for her and when she did come back to town, first she ...
