Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Sammy-Jo Cervantes There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Tracy Winters This show is probably the most fabricated western in television history.The fact that it ran for many years proves nothing except that American western TV show tastes are not very demanding. Lorne Greene was fine as 'Ben Cartwright', but the three actors who played his sons were less appealing. The Cartwrights (I call them the Fartwrongs) include father Ben and his sons: Hoss, who always eats everything in the cookie jar; Adam, who owns a dozen black shirts, black trousers, and black hats; and Little Joe (I call him Little Shmo) who cocks his hat, pulls up his collar, and walks with a swagger, but whom is still nothing more than a short pipsqueak.It was extremely silly how the whole clan would be loafing around town and subsequently getting into everyone else's affairs. 'Our heroes' would have more likely been back at the ranch tending to business instead of wandering around the countryside and falling into trouble by stepping in another rancher's cowpie every other day. Story lines were sometimes cliché' with guest stars who were not always competent supporting players.Stick with 'Gunsmoke', a much better western with much better actors.

jeff-liechty I love this show and my 11 year-old daughter and I LOVE watching it together. It teaches good old fashioned values in a fun, adventuresome and entertaining way (albeit with a somewhat predictable story most of the time). It's also really fun to make fun of...you know, rewind and insert your own dialog, in place of the actors'.I have my DVR set to record all the episodes and I happened to catch the tail end of an episode (just prior to the next one starting...so I don't know what episode it was) but there was an absolutely TERRIBLE sequencing mistake! Adam had handed Sheriff Coffee a small swatch of "leather", which was torn from some outlaw's coat as he tried to make his getaway, I suppose.Well, Roy happened to have the coat, so he laid it out on his desk and placed the swatch right where it had been torn from. The swatch was EXACTLY rectangular...which I reckon would be nearly impossible to tear from a piece of leather (post-1950's Naugahyde? Yes. Leather? I don't think so). Well, the swatch lined up perfectly and the mystery was solved.Not 10 seconds later in the scene, we see the coat again, still lying on Roy's desk. But this time the swatch is more like the shape of North Carolina and is now in a COMPLETELY different place on the coat (but still perfectly aligned with the hole in the coat) and the seam (which WAS smack-dab in the middle of the swatch) is now gone...as is the seam in the coat. My daughter enjoyed a good laugh as we played the short scene over and over and over again! It's prime for youtube, I tell ya!We still totally LOVE the show though and the sequencing errors make it lots of fun!

gina-baker71 It ran from 1959-1973. Its more than its longevity that says a lot for this series. Its also that it survived changes in fashion and taste from the 50's , psychedelic 60's and remained popular in the 70's.I remember repeats of this series. It was a successful combination of all its elements from stories, cast and productions that made it exceptional. Lorne Green had his defining iconic character from this series. Its appeal was across generations. All members of the family could enjoy this. It balanced morality with violence, humour with seriousness. A cartoon series was made as a spin off from this as a result of its impact. The shame is that this series is no longer repeated and many will not know its significance.

bhopebird I would love to see Pernell Roberts on Larry King or Oprah, wouldn't you? Maybe this is asking a lot of these two talk show host who only interview the hottest stars, but Roberts is the only living Cartwright and his appearance would be rewarding and very enlightening for all of the fans of Bonanza here in the United States and all over the world. I, for one, would be interested to know his feelings about quitting Bonanza, his acting career after Bonanza, and his role as an activist. He tried to do so much good, which he did not get credit for. He spoke out about Africa just like Angelina Jolie and Bono. Again, he is the only living Cartwright and for all of us who grew to love The Ponderosa and The Cartwrights, his appearance on a talk show would attract millions and millions of Bonanza fans. I read he is very private, but let's get him to come out and talk! Thank you, Hope.This has been written as if I am just a Bonanza fan. Please I am interested in Pernell Roberts the man. I find him so incredible. I love the fact he is so liberal and was far beyond his time. His values was so high. There is so much a person could say about this man. He definitely is his own person. He excels in his hobbies and probably is very content with his own company. I brought out bonanza for the masses. I think of him as someone with stories wit and philosophies. They just do not make men like him today. Let's just say he is not one of the boys. Again I was not really a bonanza or a trapper's audience. However, I think the story of the three boys and their background could have been a saga. Somehow one must remember the audience of the 60's believed what they were told to believe. Ah,the beauty this script could have had. It certainly had the right casting. Anyway I would love to see him on a talk show today. I for one am going to keep driving for an interview. Maybe, the press for once will give him the right break. He was the young bull of the woods!!!... confident yes,cocky maybe?? Stop- Who: Pernell Roberts What: Retirement Where: Malibu today. Observations: Enjoying retirement? Possible. Girlfriend? Maybe. Final comments: Think of this gentleman not as a movie star but an individual. He is sensitive quiet yet thinking and judgmental. With the right approach his intuitive thoughts might be the baritone voice the note needs today. I promise that is my final thoughts. Hope
