It's hard for Joe to fall in love but when he does he puts his whole heart into it. Just as it should be. Love these shows, thanks for posting them.

this episode and "forever" are the most hearttouching episodes of bonanza. and it shows what a good actor m. landon was. when you see this, you forget, that its just a movie. and the music contributes very much to the story. thanks.

This show just plays on your heartstrings 😭😭😭😭😭

I love the last half of this show especially because it's about the young Cartright and his childhood girlfriend, all grown up...one very heartbreaking episodes I have seen.

Michael was 26 years old in this episode, so characteristic of a 1940's love story, complete with a perfect musical score of that era.

Little joe is a gentle man .

a beautiful story, but sad :)

Well at least he made her last days happy.

This is one of the most exciting episodes in the series!😭♥️

I knew that this woman wasn't long for this world when she first ran from Little Joe, grabbed a hitching post, and nearly keeled over! Why did the writers have to make like every woman who got serious with a Cartwright, either die, or get on a stage coach; and leave town?

Thank you for not having missed the introduction. It is so nice to see the actors' names

Beautiful music in this sad love story.

Poor Little Joe. This guy has to be the most nearly but never quite married character in television history. I wonder how many times while the series was running Little Joe almost got married but the poor girl either died or move it on. It has to be a record

Her dad is a good man even so . He really loves his Girl . He wants / tries to be a good dad. It is not easy to be. A good dad.

When I first saw this episode, I was hoping the girl would marry Joe. Their both little and seemed to match, and she was from Louisiana like Joe's mother too. I almost thought it would finally be happily ever after, but it wasn't until Caroline, I guess. ;)

Well damn, that was a real tearjerker. 😢

The Sunday night sermon, Ben spouting bible verse, hoss ready For supper. The learned Adam ready to strengthen out any Literature entanglements. Hop sing with the burnt offering. God bless NBC.

This is at least more believable than the compulsive gambler woman who wanted to marry Hoss; or Adam falling in love with the white buffalo woman.

Poor little joe, He doesn't have much luck with women...How many does this make 2 or 3 or 3 or 4 ...They all die on him.

A good, but teary love story.

they made the cottage beautiful, but a sad episode

This is my favorite story

I Love Bonanza!! I Feel Bad For Little Joe, Like Even Though He Want's To Marry Almost Every Girl That Come's On These Show's The Girl's He Love's The Most Usually Die, First there Was Amy And Now Her!! So Sad I Cry Every Time. Mostly Because Little Joe Cry's Every Time A Man Start's To Cry over Happiness Or Sadness Make's Me Cry Cause it Show's That Real Men Cry. love Little Joe And The Rest Of The Cartwright Family!!! :)

Another one bites the dust, the Cartwright curse strikes again!

I love Bonanza and Cartwrights . I wish it was real and I could go visit them in Ponderosa .

Little Joe e muito romântico, E o Adam fez um berço pare para seu sobrinho, mais ninguém se casa em Ponderosa, que pena.😢😧😓😥.

The girl in this episode starred in a low budget film called Holmes meets lovelace xxx back in the early70s she could take alot of pain

É uma linda história de amor, mais como sempre ninguém se casa em Ponderosa.😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘.

Little Joe carried this gentleness into Little House on the Prairie and Highway to Heaven, he must have been a gentle soul by nature and had 9 children I think they said.

Did They Actually Use the Greeting "Hi" Back in the 1850's-60's, "Little Joe, used the term When the Girl Approached Him When She Was Sewing" Around 6:39-40 Not so Sure About That One, Still the Best Western Family I Know's Chur! .. .

I loved him better with this lady than the one he actually did marry later on. They were so darn cute together here...I am sorry for this loss....

Thanks for uploading

I think next to me, Little Joe, Hoss and Adam have about as good luck with women as I do !!!!

Lil Joe sure loves the ladies.........no wonder he had 9 kids...lol....

How many girlfriends is this guy going to have? Give Haas a girl.

How much lumber did they waste on building houses for wives they never married, or who died after the fact? I'm surprised there was any pine left on the Ponderosa.

28:46 Adam you couldn't figure out he wanted it for a baby.

The Cartwrights are like Death Incarnate.

What a touching story

Any girl falling in love to any Cartwright, this is a death sentence.

In the 1800's Family meant everything.

Joe has been so unlucky with women

I must say that if I found out I'm going to die, I'm getting out of that bed like she did and go see the home that Joe built for me. Suck the life outta life before it sucks the life outta you, I'd say.

Another masterpiece of North American literature

16:32, check the bow drill...

I usually hate romance. But this - I loved the girl from the start, because she loved him so much. I thought he didn't care for her at the beginning and I felt sorry for her. But then he fell in love. And I thought perhaps, for once, for once - then BLURGHHH! She freaking dies! I would like to string the writer up! Why can't you let them be HAPPY??

Who is the actress playing Laura in this episode?

Just once in 13 seasons I would have loved to have seen one of the boys or the father get married and have children! It could have kept the show going after Hoss passed away. Why do they never consider these things? Instead they bring in a guy named Candy. Not that Candy was bad, but it wasn't the right timing. Adam could have come back , anything to keep the show going.

While visiting the Ponderosa, Ben's old friend, sea Captain Matthew White, is forced to reveal a terrible secret after Little Joe Cartwright falls in love with and plans to wed the Captain's daughter, Laura, once a freckle-faced playmate from Joe's childhood in New Orleans, now grown into a beautiful woman.

I remember when I was 25 I didn't really accomplish so much. Must be pretty amazing to accomplish things and be successful I've always felt I'm kind of a late bloomer mainly cuz I'm 42 and every time I try something it just doesn't seem to work out For example fish keeping I figured out how to get the aquariums right and how to get the water right but I keep having to buy fish in Taiwan that are sick so they die anyways It's really hard to get a healthy fish unless I buy it. Gardening yeah that doesn't work either the plants die after I broke my shoulder and scooter accident I made it difficult to do karate and archery again But there is a some light at the end of this dark tunnel my friend and I want to open a hot dog stand at the park which I think I can because since I won it's kind of easy to get around rules I'm American and my roommate is Taiwanese and for 6 years we've been trying to save money and every time we save money something happens Sadly she's a single mom and her husband bruso kindly divorced her needs Jesus All I can say is she's a great mom and I'm honored that I get to care for my God son and be like a second parent him I never thought I'd have a son before I was married I'm excited because next week we start our first attempt at running our hot dog business I'm an entrepreneur I told her I would sponsor it and I can watch her sign while he's at the park playing with his friends Since I have complex PTSD it makes it hard to run out for little people for long periods of time I often wonder if what I do really makes a difference in Taiwan Jesus told me to love the people in Taiwan that looks different and different ways and I've seen some of those people and God healed and bless them

Damn Joe's luck with women is just about almost not quite like mine

18:28 Insulting and accusing a friend's child on the basis of nothing more than rash Fear?? Suddenly, talking about " his type". Really!

This was the closest,lil Joe almost got married.

How Come Every Time Little Joe Fall's In Love She Die's?.😒

At 15:00 notice when he gets out of the water just after falling in he is bone dry!

14:02 was

Joe gets punched in the face..and not a scratch on him...

LITTLE JOE YOU KEEP SLAPING YOUR SALAMI HAHAHA !!!

What Was She Sick With?.

Only James Bond has more dead girlfriends

Jeez. I wonder how this woman in a relationship is going to die...

Can someone give me a list on all the girlfriends Joe had that died.

Should've Told Them She Was Gonna Die Sooner.

The writers of this show must have hated women. They always have a very short life span when one of the Cartwright boys get interested in them.

Peter reszkowski the doors app app app quip 20th and t ..n

Watch the man's ear 34:20 to 34:25. WTF was that. Just saying.

Man... every movie producer had to make these freaking sad love stories?? Wtf? How come none of them had an happy ending? The girl shouldn't die. Both of them should of get married have lots of kids and live happily ever after. But always some sad dramatic crap had to happen huh? 🤦‍♂️ those freaking movie producers all they knew is beautiful love stories with sad endings. Sucks 🤔

She's very NOT Joe's right kind of girl... At all

pervert lil joe says , better get those wet clothes off you when shes in the rain for 2 whole secs ... after its him that falls in the pond ( but is bone dry 5 secs later )

The woman was not pretty enough for Little Joe.

I'm glad to see you laura . I got to go, cause my new girlfriend made better mud pies than you did Laura. Your mud pies taste horrible Laura.

the womanizer, who died young. vodka and 4 packs of cigarettes per day married 3 times and didn't allow anybody else to join bonanza, after adam left. jealous, egocentric, i me mine a monster justice works, even in hollywood. adam could not work with this egocentric, half-jewish, social climber anymore. freedom is worth more than money, show and glory. adam , the man. r i p
