Storyline:

Reviews:
"I'm surprised that previous viewers did not recognize the plot premise of The Man Who Came To Dinner for this Bonanza episode. True that there was not the constant name dropping of prominent 30s celebrities. But John Carradine who hurts his foot caught up springtime fever horse play the Cartwright sons are engaged in just stays on and gets the boys and even Lorne Greene to do some disagreeable tasks.

Carradine is a miserly old banker and he assigns Pernell Roberts, Dan Blocker, and Michael Landon all jobs about his properties. Best of the small stories involves Little Joe trying to evict squatter John Qualen. Michael Landon is not cut out to be a process server.

In the meantime Carradine lives the Life Of Riley at the Ponderosa with Lorne Greene getting fed up catering to him and his aphorism quoting laziness.

"It's springtime on the Ponderosa and the Cartwight boys are itching to let loose. It just so happens that a friend of Ben's, Jedediah Milbanks (John Carradine) a banker from California, has some business in the area and is coming by the ranch for a visit. Upon his arrival Milbanks is injured when the Cartwright boys get into a mud fight in a small pond. Needless to say Ben is not happy with his sons when he finds out that Milbanks has an injured leg. But we learn that the injury is really not bad but Milbanks has a plan where he will not have to handle his business and will let the Cartwright boys do his dirty work.

It just so happens Milbanks has three chores. One is given to each to complete since they were the one that caused the injury. Joe is to go remove a squatter from some property Milbanks owns. Hoss is to buy a piece of property from a young couple. And Adam is to evict a family from a house when the family falls on hard times and cannot pay the mortgage. But when the Cartwright boys see the situation that they have been assigned it will not work out like exactly as wanted by Milbanks.

One of my favorite Bonanza episodes. The opening scene where Adam, Hoss, and Little Joe fight each other is absolutely priceless.

[lindasolomon]

Ben sure raised his sons right. They may all have different personalities but they all have a heart of gold and will go out their way to help a person.

I'm embarrassed to tell how many times I've watched this episode. My favorite one all around. Funny, no shootings, moral lessons and no dead fiancees.

[Butterflybloom]

This episode clearly proves what good values Ben had thought his boys...❤

[Butterflybloom]

My favourite episode too, but the episode that got me in stitches, is the Wooing of Abigail Jones..I have the best laugh

[LINDA-uwq]

THE DAYS OF HELPING AND GIVING..IS HOW IT STILL SHOULD BE..THANKS BONANZA..FOR GIVING US BACK TO REMIND US..HOW LOVE REALLY WORKS..❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Season 3 is so good. Must be different writers. Not just bad guys in town shoot em up go to jail episodes. I love these warm and funny and leaves me with a good feeling at the end.

[Ddude]

One of my very favorite episodes that never fails to choke me up. The kindness and understanding shown by the brothers to those less fortunate and struggling is the perfect example of how we should all strive to help our neighbors, especially in these trying times.

[donhancock]

Its always good to see the great John Carradine.

[brigidabanfelder]

I laughed so hard when they were fighting in the mud--SO FUNNY!!! This episode is hysterical and masterfully comedic!

[LilliLamour]

The three of them fighting has me in stitches 🤣😂🤣

I'm 60 years old and I grew up watching Bonanza and after all this years I m still watching it, my favorite show by far.
Thank you for sharing !!!

[daisycassidy]

Terrific episode with good lessons built in. Jedediah looks so funny as he rode away with his head sticking out of the carriage roof 😁

[keithclark]

I have been watching Bonanza for years and have everything maybe twice. Every time I watch and pretty much know the outcome, I can't help but think about all the fun they had creating these shows. As most of you, wish I could have met them in person. Great shows.

[caroljohnson]

This is one of my favorite episodes! “The Crucible” is my all-time favorite! I still love Bonanza after 50+ years! Thank you for these gems!

[juliavincent]

I love that folks portrayed, who are wealthy actually sweat themselves and not on the backs of others. There's a message here

[shirleywilhelm]

I enjoy Bonanza as long as Pernell Roberts is in them. Had a good laughing episode in the beginning.

[SugarSugarCreek]

Love how Joe never hesitated to get into a brawl with big ole Hoss.... Brothers

[leah-yv]

The fight at the beginning 😂 Just imagining the puppy riding the horse in Hoss's shirt.
