Subject: Happy Birthday, Bonanza!

53 years ago, the pilot premiered on NBC and that's how it all started. Also, the 30th anniversary of "Forever" that aired on September 12, 1972.

Yep, season three was my favorite too. Pr was a good actor and he knew it claiming he only used 10% of his talent on this show. Of course he had no problem collecting 100% of his pay. Too bad he and Mike couldn't have worked together to make a great show even better. Lee Majors was mentored by Miss Barbara Stanwyck who taught him discipline--be on time, know your lines and everyone else's. She never would have putup with PR's ATTITUDE. Adam was a great character and should have continued one way or another. And we are still discussing him 53 years later. adamseve
