Reviews:
"I'm in my 60's, and am currently in home detention, like most of the country, because of a dang virus. This old episode of Bonanza came on the TVLand network and I remembered how much I enjoyed it as a kid, so I thought I'd give it another look.

It's a funny and enjoyable episode, but at my age, you can't help but break it down a little bit. You have to give some leeway to comedy, as suspension of disbelief is necessary for such things, but it's harder to swallow in your 60's than when you're 6.

I believe every member of the Cartwrights has proven their tracking ability in the past. And yet, somehow, nobody could see the tracks of these little men, their ponies, or the wagon they were using. It's a stretch, but it moves the story along, so what are you going to do? Let's call it poetic license. Still a warm and amusing episode of an old, beloved series.

"One day out on the trail Hoss spies a bear getting ready to chow down on a little man in a green costume suitable to medieval times. He also finds a small box of gold dust and brings it back to the Ponderosa.

Where Dan Blocker's story is greeted with considerable skepticism by his father and brothers and Sheriff Ray Teal. But a traveling visitor to Virginia City from Ireland Sean McClory shows some interest. Of course it's just possible that the wee people of Ireland might have a colony in the American west.

I remember when Dan (aka Hoss)died. My entire family was in mourning as if afamily member had passed. This was one of the only family programs we all enjoyed together. RIP Hoss

Whenever the opening scene in Bonanza starts out with THAT music, you know it's going to be a lighthearted episode! 😀

I laughed myself silly when Little Joe was teasing Hoss over the leprechauns!

[soulaesthete]

This has got to be the most hilarious episode of the entire Bonanza series!!

All episodes about Hoss were the favourites. R.I.P. Dan Blocker.

The Hoss episodes were always the best

[joanneesposito]

Dan Blocker did comedy so well. I loved this and Three Brides for Hoss.

[allenwatkins]

I really like the episodes where Hoss and Little Joe team up for comedy. There aren't many of them but I sure watch out for them, and watch them right away when I can.

6:23 "And then skips away into the bushes, where with a merry twinkle in his eye, he thumbs his nose and FLIIIIEEESS away into the rainbow"! Might be my new favorite line delivery ever. 😆

[glendaneal]

Love this episode shows how talented Hoss was.

[cmjmath]

I’ve shown this episode to my students year after year around St. Patrick’s Day. Not only was the humor appreciated, the lesson Hoss taught in tha acceptance of others that are different is as valued. Craig
