Posts from Hondo Duke Lane in thread „Bonanza (1959-1973)“

    I occasionally watch Bonanza on TV Land, and really enjoy the show with the Adam years better. Just seem to be a whole family. Adam added meat to the show and it worked for the years he was there. It seemed to flow well and make things equal in the action and adventure. When Pernell Roberts left. I don't recall any show explaining as to why he left the Ponderosa. Or did I ever hear anything about Adam. Did the show and the cast just make like he never existed?

    The show was alright but it wasn't the same, and the story line seem weaker. Did anyone feel the same as I did? Was there any explanation as to the exit of Adam Cartwright?

    Cheers :cool: Hondo

    Was Duke friendly with Blocker?



    JohnWayneFan4Life, I moved you post here since Dan Blocker was more related to Bonanza than Little House.

    To my knowledge, he got along with everyone on Bonanza. I didn't hear anything bad about the relationships he had with the cast. They all except for Purnell Roberts on his Tribute to America TV special. I don't anything about Duke and Purnell Roberts either.

    Cheers :cool: Hondo
