Yes, in those days there was no ceremony at the end. They just axed the shows and moved on. A lack of dignity and respect for sure. Would have been nice to see Pernell come in at the last one that Mike would have helmed.

It seems to be a nice gesture if he could have come back for an ending. But he would not have done it. He did not want to have anything to do with BONANZA.

And I think the last episode should have addressed Hoss' death. That, plus Adam's return, would have been the perfect closure.

Yes, it needed a better ending than those few followup movies. And I still think Jack Lord would have done justice to the Adam role. A character too interesting to just vanish. But they had no need to worry about syndication then. Now the seasons are so short, down from 32 to 20 now 8-10weeks. Dallas just started in mid June and had its season finale a few weeks ago. Borderline shows like the new Nikita, which lacks the charisma and style of the old Wilson/Dupuis show, and Michelle Geller's Ringer may be brought back for another season just to get enough shows to syndicate. adamseve
