Storyline:

Reviews:
"An old friend of Ben Cartwright, sea Captain Frank Overton arrives with his daughter Brooke Hayward for a visit to the Ponderosa. Back when they were kids Michael Landon and Hayward had a short case of puppy love. Now that they're older and have hormones working that's looking to grow. But not if Overton can help it.

This is a tender romantic story and should be viewed on its own merits. Unfortunately that old joke about the brides for the boys on Bonanza is what comes to play here. Some excuse was always found to keep the Ponderosa a bachelor household. Usually the bride was killed off. Those of us in my age group who were regular viewers of Bonanza in its first run are somewhat jaded for the reruns.

"Bonanza has always been my favorite show ever! The stories and classic episodes make this show unequaled! What a joy that these episodes are available to view on You Tube. Without giving away the plot I just wanted to say that the chemistry between Michael Landon and Brooke Hayward is electric! It's refreshing to see shows like this where the whole gamut of emotion is depicted in a way that challenges the intelligence of the viewer...The acting was superb and in my opinion superior to anything that Hollywood releases today!

Actors of today can learn from the value of a show like Bonanza.

Brooke Hayward had an innocence and beauty about her that made her so appealing! And the charisma of Michael Landon is unequaled. Michael's legacy is so powerful. We need more actors of the caliber of Michael Landon in Hollywood.

The show is pure romance! The beauty of the two young actors is so appealing! You actually feel like they were in love...perhaps they were. Brooke Hayward is the daughter of Margaret Sullavan and Leland Hayward. Margaret Sullavan was known for her role in "The Little Shop Around the Corner"...the classic with Jimmy Stewart! I can see the essence of Brooke's mother in her acting..

The love scenes between Michael and Brooke are electric! This is how a romance should be shown...the only contemporary actress I would say that comes close in appeal is perhaps Sandra Bullock...like in films like Hope Floats and The Lake House. But this particular Bonanza episodes outshines them all! I've seen this one a few times and it moves me every time!

Three brothers that show absolutely love for each other

[PointyTailofSatan]

Having a Cartwright as a potential husband is like standing on a tall hill in a lightning storm.

[californiaexploring]

“Pa, we’re in love. She’s the most beautiful girl I’ve seen since the last episode”

[lysmykyta]

My uncle used to come over and watch Bonanza with my dad. I was very young and did not like the series, but I did like and never forgot the pancake eating contest episode. Ben and Boss were my favorite characters. Now that I am retired, I binge watch 2 or 3 episodes per day and am really enjoying the series. This is the first episode that I have seen the Cartwright family all dressed up for dinner.

[salamatsidabutar]

Benjamin is more than a real father. Always as comforter for his kids, when they get deep sadness! Really I like this episode.

[dennishardy]

But all these episodes whenever one of the Cartwright brothers finds a woman to fall in love with shows how the man is supposed to treat his lady. That's what I've always appreciated.

[marrun]

I LOVE BONANZA!!! Little Joe... So Handsome . RIP ☺️

[bethanycampione]

First episode of the show to make me cry. Michael Landon sure knew how to tug on the heartstrings

[damianousley]

The Ponderosa house was the ultimate Man Cave.

[poseidon]

ABSOLUTELY love Hoss and Joe's closeness and their family's loyalty one to another.

[aaraar]

Damn the Cartwright curse. This is the cruelest of them all. There was real chemistry between them. I could feel the love. a real tear-jerker.

[keithphillip]

Must rank as one of the most moving episodes.

[jewelamophilomena]

I love this show. The Cartwright brothers are such a close-knit family. They are always there supporting each other, no matter what. This is what I love about Ben and his sons!

[dennishardy]

I appreciate how the three half brothers Adam, Hoss and Little Joe are always there for one another. There's only two words that come to mind to describe episodes like this. Absolutely wonderful!!! The closeness of a loving loyal family.

[maddiepaige]

Im only 14 but have seen a majority of the Bonanza series because I watched and still to watch them with my grandfather. Never seems to amaze me. There very few i haven't seen are pretty good

[caroldry]

Micheal Landon was such a talented actor, writer and director. Rip.

[roccobollotta]

Too bad the house used in the show is no longer open to see and reminisce, I grew up with this show every Sunday night with my dad.

[dildoit]

exept for the "girlfrinds always die" syndrom. Its the kind of loving family world we all want to live in.

[nancyfindley]

The sweetest story and real love expression ever. Xoxoxo

[crimsonrose]

This was such an emotional episode! It really tugs on your heartstrings! Poor Laura. Only one year to live. The father should've told her all this from the beginning. Poor Joe. He finally meets the right girl only for her to be snatched out of his hands thanks to the writers of this show.
