I like the show still. Was never a big fan of Pernell though.
To me it shows two bygone errors. One in the mid 19th century and the other in the mid 20th century.
Huh? The 20th century? Let me explain. The show was made from 1959 to 1973 with each season having up to 35 one hour episodes. Now imagine the work that went into each show: horses, remote locations, buildings, number of actors.... I could go on and on. With that many episodes they were spitting out a show in 10 to 12 days. If you watch a Bonanza episode, just think about the effort it takes to make just one.
Compare the work and effort to make one of these shows in mid 20th century to that of today. Today maybe you have 13 half-hour episodes a year, no extras, no towns, no remote locations, no real work other then some simple cheap sets that never change nor do they ever leave an air-conditioned studio.
Just a different worth ethic. Now everything is for the quick dollar.
Granted there are some shows today that take some effort, but nothing like the shows of that era. Sort of like the way America is headed. Everyone wants something the easy way.
