Ooof. Mr. Poole was very creepy. His repeated phrase “I surely do” became unsettling real quick. This is one of the best episodes for Little Joe! Really enjoyed the scene with him and the deputy arguing - some great acting right there.

Hoss would never miss Little Joe's birthday party!

Love Bonanza. It was painful trying to watch Lil Joe figure it out ... and talking in front of the killer, a complete stranger, about it all ... drove me crazy! Great acting by the guest stars.

Bullitt with Steve McQueen

This is one of the great episodes. Bonanza is such a wholesome show, with quality, and like the fact that I can revisit it on KZread, and skip the pornographic advertisements.

A well-scripted, acted and directed episode. As some of my fellow viewers have so rightly commented, this is a fascinating murder mystery. We know who is the killer, yet we cannot be certain whether he will be unmasked in time. And there is nuance to these characters, particularly Evelyn Scott's Mrs. Gibson. The eerie and sickly attraction between her and Simon Oakland's Poole is edgier than most depicted in TV Westerns of that period. Again, a fascinating episode and worth watching. Many thanks for airing it!

@@kevc21 Thank you for your insightful reply. To the best of my knowledge, the actor Simon Oakland, who played the murderer, was not African American. But you are absolutely correct that there were very few Black actors in Bonanza. This series, like others, is most definitely a product of its time. Bonanza ran from the late 1950s through the early 1970s, parallel to the Civil Rights Movement and Black Liberation Movement. The country, and in turn Hollywood, were changing, but very slowly. However, I still think that this was an interesting and view-worthy TV episode. In any event, I appreciate very much your valuable and insightful input. Thank you again.

A psychotic serial killer on Bonanza. Who would have thought that. But father and son missed the first clue. At 11:35 when Poole says to Little Joe and Ben, 'would that be the girl's Uncle?' Little Joe or Ben should have asked, 'How do you know?' But then I guess there would not be a story.

These cartwrights like Benjamin Cartwright has such wisdom and had a way with words when he talked to me and everything sounds so simple and easy to understand a man of great education inspiring person especially to listen to in here could communicate so well and with anyone out there had a lot of character of course all the actors in the series was programmed Bonanza all them had character and wisdom beyond their years very very inspiring program very enlightening I spent hours and days watching episode after episode just a wonderful program I don't think programs like these anymore of course they don't do anything anymore like things too I guess it's a sign of the times to me sad times those days will never come back we need to hold on to these movies and programs cuz they show us the time in our lives they were happier times wonderful times on TV was great and not one of us today

@belbal5004

Double post, sorry. All I see in a hurry is the sing was population in mistrial shows in 1800s, Buffalo Gals referred to Buffalo, NY. But it was common to change words to the place they were playing at ( thus New Orleans woman???I don't know without spending hours to try to find it). It mentions variations in the 1900s, but 70s or later in different genres. I don'tt see any prior switch before 1930, but had to be or maybe this was the original, since my family took a big dive [and though Caucasian even picked cotton in the south, truck farmed, and made a living playing music, too- not minstrel shows, but hillbilly & western swing early records]. So might have known the NY version.

I don´t know if anybody else might have noticed, but I swear I saw him open his eyes - her uncle may not be dead afterall!

Miss Gibson was beautiful! A very good women. Who was lonely. I could feel her being scared!!!!! I was so pissed!!!!! An he standing there lying!!!!! Lil joe got him!!!!! Yes!!!!

I kept telling Little Joe to use Morse code.

Absolute hilarity Grjngo. The nitro blew the stump to smithereens but had little effect on the woman killer. His corpse was fully intact. Comedic, creative writing for sure.

When the Nitro exploded, it would have killed the nearby horses. The scene did not show that, too bloody I guess. This felt like an episode from Alfred Hitchcock Presents.
