This is very sweet to read. I just stumbled on this forum. I grew up with the show - I had to sneak downstairs to watch it from the stairs as it was on so late! But my dad won a color TV for a sales contest, and we had one of the first color sets in town - it lasted as long as Bonanza did! So we had to watch the shows in color. I was in love with Adam, and I was really upset when Pernell Roberts left the series. Much later, I understood his side better. "Bonanza" was from a different time. The first season seems to have been mostly based on not very good histories of Virginia City, notably the David Lyman books, and it wasn't until the second season that the show seemed to settle down. But the fifth season was the highest rated season, I think, and what we all understand when we say "Bonanza." And as a Guy Williams fan, that season is doubly wonderful for me, but I wonder if I'll ever see them on DVD. The only way to get season 5, I think, is to buy all the seasons from unofficial vendors. I'd rather have the official releases. Sigh! The series really didn't have anything to do with Virginia City's history in the end, or history at all, except Hollywood's history, but the characters were so very fine and the production values extraordinary. Just the music - like David Rose using Mendelssohn's Midsummer Night's Dream music as inspiration for "Hoss and the Leprechauns." Care was taken.
