Subject: Adam was to have been killed of in season 6
In a 1965 article featuring Betty Endicott, it was revealed that Adam was going to be killed off by desperados in a gun battle and the surviving three would live. Let's go back and study it. Pernell wanted to leave so very much and NBC minimized his screentime until he left. In fact, a month early before the 6th year closed out production in March 1965. He was in too big of a rush to leave and there was a lot of friction with his co-stars. Nevertheless, he should have had the incentive to insist on a "farewell story" where he would get killed off, a great death scene (it would have been one of the best in 60's TV) and that would have given his departure a more sentimental impact on the viewers. My 2 cents.

Rick , were these actor's really irritated with each other on a frequent basis ??
When you have a hit tv series , like Bonanza , I would think , and that's only my view , you'd think they would get along with one another all the time.
But I guess temper's do flare up at times.
As fun & talented as Michael was , you'd think his personality would have cheered these other actor's up so temper's and blood pressure wouldn't take a spike hike.
His Laugh alone brightened my day's watching Bonanza and LHOTP. There will never be a laugh like that ever again.
I'd laugh along when he did that , to the point i'd have tears in my eye's due to his great Humor.

They were just ordinary people and not perfect. Nobody is for that matter. What you see onscreen is pretend. The actors are doing their jobs, but there would always be an issue that would crop up.

I guess I don't understand why when you have a hit tv series on tv for years and the actor's seem happy go lucky and in real life they are bickering and at each other's throats.
That must make acting together very uncomfortable and it would be easier to make mistakes with the dialog that they have to learn and say it in order with the other person's.
I took 4 years of acting in high school and was pretty good.
I was in the Play > It's Cold In Them Thar' Hill's.
My sister's son is an actor and he was in > A River Run's Thru It , with Brad Pitt and Tom Skerrit.
My Nephew Played The "Bouncer at LoLo's Bar"
Tracy Mayfield.
We use to beat the tar out of one another as kid's.
We'd Ride Horse's and I put him on a Rank Paint Horse I had named (Dutchess) and It Scrapped Him off going in to a Barn stall.

The thing was badly handled by all concerned -- SWC, 13:18:54 04/11/12 Wed [1]
The idea that one fo the four Carwrights who ahd built up the Ponderosa and supported eachother for so many years could just disappear without any real explanation and not be missed in any way is absurd.
I've said it before and will say it again: the solution was obvious. They'd been doing the history of the Cartwrights on the basis that what we were seeing was happening 100 years before it was first broadcast. Nevada became a state in 1864 and they would have needed a Senator. Have Adam run for the Senate and ship him off to Washington. mention him from time to time. If the show is still around in 6 years year, (as it was), have him come back as a guest and run for re-election.
Don't just pretend he never existed.

So RIGHT you are! SWC - as Johhny Carson would say to Ed MacMahon.
Now what? The Adam years in The U.S. Senate?
Wow! That would make for a great TV series,
bring back Tom Laughlin as "Billy Jack"'s great-great grandfather, and have:
_____ play Adam, and some Jimmy Stewart type actor play his ancestor too, as like in "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington" plus ______ as a forefather of Senator Hayes Stowe as played by Hal Holbrook in The BOLD ONES: The Senator. Re: that episode of: "George Washington lied to us."
They owe you a $ finder's fee" !

They could have had Adam be injured like Hoss Was That Time and Adam could have drifted around the western states trying to remember who he was and from where he came.
And He Wouldn't Remember untill he stumbled upon his mother's Grave some Where , and Then his full memory would return.
Remind's me Of Johnny Yuma The Rebel , who roamed thru the west. He Lit out for part's unknown because he was running from a Past he can't remember. (well Johnny could)
I like show's like that.

Thanks SWC, Of I haven't heard that introductory song at 4:00 to :40 in decades! (of mostly having watched The "Andy Griffith Show" on the other channel, of I must have heard this on the other T.V. as watched by my parents back then in the living room. Of us kids in the kitchen.
The Doc saying @ 7:05 that "critters have four legs".
This being the first time of learning what to do from somebody temporarily blinded by a sand storm in the desert: the sulfuric acid fumes to restore his vision.

Adam was a strong character and could have stood on his own. We had two Darrin's on Bewitched and numerous James Bonds, and four Nikitas. Pr was not Adam!! The character deserved better and was a great addition to the storyline. adamseve
