Okay I am couch bound and bored...
I have been getting into the old Bonanza reruns. Anyone else watch it?
I used to watch it when I was little. It was neat to go up to the Ponderosa ranch up near Tahoe. But it's gone now. :(
Those old shows are the best!! :)
I never made it up there, I wish I had.Quote:

I always watched it when it was originally on, but haven't watched any reruns. But....now that I've read this thread, the theme song is stuck in my head. :eek: :D
Okay ladies and lets stop dancing around the obvious....four hot guys riding around saving the day!
I watched the originals of Bonanza!
My mom had such a crush on Hoss. I can still remember how sad she was when he died. :love:
I think I had a crush on all of them at one time or another. :D
OK - but Michael Landon is mine - so hands off! :DQuote:

I remember watching the show with my dad when I was a little girl. I have never been into westerns much.

You can have all of them. Hugh O'Brien who played Wyatt Earp is mine! He and the Cisco Kid. (God, am I old.)
Yup :D......join the club.Quote:

God, am I old. :eek:
The theme song that comes to mind for me is from even farther back than Bonanza, the theme from the Mighty Mouse cartoon: "Here I come to save the day!" Sorry, Caseysmom, didn't mean to hijack. It only took one word, Bonanza, to put me in the way back machine.
ETA: I just googled Hugh O'Brien and he married for the first time when he was 83 to a 54 year old. He's 86 now and still looks pretty darned good!
We're not old!!! We're VINTAGE!!!Quote:

F-Troop!:D
I think Pernel Roberts (Adam) is. I really liked him when he played Trapper John too. :DQuote:

ROFLMAO! On HORSES to boot! Every little girls fantasy! I thought Micheal was the cute one but he was a bit of a loser too...LOL..sorry Landonites! I thought Adam was the noble one.
I love the old shows. I can watch them again and again. I'm on an Avengers kick at the moment. That was way before my time but I want to be Emma Peel!
Adam was my favorite!:love::love:
(That was the oldest brother, right?)
Back off girlfriend adam is mine!Quote:

Aren't you about ready to run out of t.v. when broadcasting goes digital on the 12th, or doesn't that apply to you folks in no man's land? :eek: :DQuote:

I've been watching mostly Star Trek re-runs :o I'm such a dork but can't get enough of it.
You just ran throught the whole family!:DQuote:

Now I'm at the stage of my life where Hop Sing would do it for me. According to the family, he's a great cook, he keeps a good house and he unobtrusively stays out of the way. The perfect man! ;)Quote:

Boy, was that a stereotype?
Yeah Hop Sing is funny because the show was way before its times dealing with racial tensions, etc and they have Hop Sing running around with that friggen pony tail.
Yeah I agree I am at the stage where Hop Sing does it for me too:D
The guest women in distress crack me up, out on the Ponderosa that eyeliner and hair was always perfect.
I remember my mom watching it when I was a kid, but I haven't seen it since.
She also watched a lot of "Have Gun, Will Travel", "Wagontrain" and "Little House on the Prairie". Wonder if she had a secret crush on those cowboys. ;)
Fine! But only because you are couch bound! I'll take Pa....it is the silver hair and scarf around his neck....Quote:
