Subject: The thing was badly handled by all concerned
In reply to: Rick 's message, "Adam was to have been killed of in season 6" on 03:10:32 04/10/12 Tue

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
