Subject: 
"The Big Valley": The trail "petered out".
Was this term ever used in any episode of BONANZA?
I just heard it in this episode of The BIG VALLEY entitled: "Run of the Savage" http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0524388/ [ * ] on METV right now from 3-4:00 p.m. of it heard at about 15-past the hour.
It's origin over at: http://home.netcom.com/~mrlucky/peter_out.html
[ * ] with STAR TREK's Grace Lee Whitney as Maggie.
[ ** ] co-star Jack Tornek, [ 1887 - 1974 (87) ] who was also in fifty five ( 55 ) episodes of BONANZA; see: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0868177/

I just stared watching Big Valley on insp. I always liked this show even though it was called Bonanza in skirts. Maybe "the trail petered out" was on a note that Victoria found in her Jeans pocket or maybe in her leather jacket. (lol). As much as I think Dr. Quinn is much too Beth Sullivanish, Jane looked the part in her long hair and big skirts. " Star power" was Barbara saying "I'm not wearing that anymore". In came the 60's do and the black leather!!! adamseve

A's E: While IN SEARCH OF... Victoria Barkley and black leather I found this http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0058791/reviews = "Was there ever a bluer shirt than Victoria Barkley's? Hair more golden than Audra's? Leather more black than Nick's? Watching reruns of "Gunsmoke" and "Bonanza", they really look like dusty, brown, more authentic (especially with "Gunsmoke") presentations. "BV" started out that way, but soon progressed into an almost surreal blend of authentic locales mixed with '60's styles and colors. How else to describe Lee Majors' sideburns, the clean lines of the womens' riding gear or the ladies' false eyelashes? But I wouldn't change any of it for the world. The Barkleys' world is a world I'd want to live in. Everything is beautiful and they stand for truth, justice and the American way! " from: 11 July 2002

I agree. Hell on wheels was about the making of the trans country rail. It was really dirty and nasty and probably more authentic. Not on my dream list or many others and probably why I havn't seen a seacond season. Deadwwod was also like that but did have a bigger audience. adamseve

You're absolutely right! I never even made it through a single episode.

It was a common phrase, I wouldn't be surprised if it was used in Bonanza at some point.
"Tuckered out" is another old time phrase, meaning tired, weary, "plumb tuckered out" as Gabby Hayes might say.
Speaking of Gabby Hayes, here are some great Gabby quotes from various pictures (no sign of "tuckered out", though).

Thanks Tim.
I see that at about 2:00 minutes into this 2:54 min. video seen 41,690 times AND at the end, there he is sitting on his "sewing machine"! (;-)
I've never heard a car referred to as a sewing machine before.

I get a kick out of seeing the actor in the background grinning as Gabby says, "This is an outrage! A dad-burned outrage!"

The term "lounge lizard" was mentioned on The Virginian by a friend of Trampas'. I would have thought that was a modern term, but it goes back to the early 1900's.

Thanks Richard. And I see that the term can apply to either a man OR a woman: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=lounge%20lizard
At the Legislature here they say either Chairwoman or Madam Chairman, as in man(kind), of the genders (some people say: sex) of for the word man in general is what I say of: either a he-man or a wo-man, of both with that common denominator, of like saying you "guys" to when the gals are there too, as the men or guys out rule having to say guys and gals no matter how many men, be there of even if only one, of nowadays the term "you guys" applies to just when it's the gals only too, as what? maybe one of them is a Chaz Bono? (;-) in disguise? (;-) There must be a website on this somewhere to try to find later. Re: Mr., Miss, and then Ms. started when?
