Just a quick intro, I have been watching Bonanza ever since I was a kid (dad go me into it) I am only 32 so Bonanza was long gone and Little House On The Prairie was in syndication anyway love them both already own the entire Little House collection and I am buying Bonanza as they are released. I still haven't seen all the Bonanza episodes but am working on it (gotta love YouTube!) so if anyone has some good episode recommendations please speak up!
My episode recommendations are from seasons 1 to 6. I'm a big Adam fan and find it hard to watch later episodes.

The Ride is very, very good. Hoss has one FANTASTIC line in it that is a known quote in Bonanza fandom. I won't ruin it for you. When you watch it, you'll know it right away.
Leave your front door and your back door open. Allow your thoughts to come and go. Just don't serve them tea.

I know I am probably amongst the minority here (in my age group) our kids are young and I would hope that win they get a little older they will enjoy entertainment like Bonanza and Little House instead of a lot of the garbage that is on TV today
So bighoss78, are you saying we're a bunch of old farts? Just kidding.
I agree with you. They don't make shows like Bonanza any more and that's a shame. You'd be surprised at how many really young people have gravitated to Bonanza.
