when I first saw this episode I was on the edge of my seat. its turned out to be one of my favourite episodes brilliantly acted by Michael

One of my favorite Little Joe episodes. It shows off the great acting ability of Michael Landon.

Great acting job by Mike Landon. He was my hero growing up

He looks great with short, long, dark, gray - he's just handsome period! And a great piece of acting. That's why you flinch with every move he makes.

I am glad that I found this episode. I missed the last 5 minutes of it and decided to Google to see if I could find it. I thank the person that put it here.

I remember this episode when it first aired. My nephew was 3 days old. Great acting...think about it..dialogue wasn't the focus.Takes a lot I think to carry it merely by action. Loved this series growing up.

I remember seeing this episode for the first time as a little kid. I was so glued to the tv I felt like I was in the same room trying to figure out a way to help him. Michael is a wonderful actor but this performance has to be one of his absolute best.

Probably the best episode. Landon acted superbly.

Omg poor joe is always either getting beat up shot or just simply hurt or accused of wrong doing but thats what makes bonanza keep you watching in suspense love this western.

This episode was later "recycled" for Little House. Carolyn was baking pies for a church event and was supposed to catch a ride with the Reverend Alden to the event. He came to the house to get her but she was passed out She had cut her leg on an exposed nail and it became infected, the book she read for instruction was the bible . She lanced the wound, Doc Baker said just in time.

What an episode...just watching it, I was suffering with Little Joe.😱

Mike Landon was an American treasure

I can't believe they waited so long! I had to watch the ending 3 times! Best one yet.

Joe looks good with long r short hair......he just looks good all the time.....this was some good acting on Joe’s part....

Michael Landon what can I say except that he's brilliant 👏

A really great acting job by Michael Landon.

Great episode, one of Bonanza's best.

It's hard to see them hurt even after all this time even if you've seen the shows over and over and I have. But my family and I loved them and I still do. This is where Micheal Landon got the idea for the Little house story that has Carolyn at home alone and her leg hurt and she has to make the same decisions that Little Joe had to make in this show. Michael Landon had 3 Shows on NBC at the same time. Little House on the Prairie. and Father Murphy and High way to Heaven. He has been the only one do this.

KZfaq youre the best Thank You for aall the bonanzaseries and old westerns

Little Joe is tougher than Rambo.

Little Joe much handsome with short hair long hair look old on him even in little house his short hair looks good Bless Mr. Cartwright & his sons 🌼🌺🍀🌸

I felt so uncomfortable watching this epidsode..watching Joe in great pain..i felt the pain too, through his expressions. Michael Landon's acting is excellent.

I like mr. Cartwright & all of his sons they all good looking wish ADAM was to the end same handsome candy🌳🌲🌴

even i got a bit light headed by the end of this episode, what a sad episode to end the 11th series, it's beautifully directed & acted out

never a dull moment this western ofto watch everyday

Looks like Lorne Greene was crying for real at the end and hoss too all three best actors favorite western serial

i remember Little house on the prairie had an episode exactly like this only it was Caroline that got hurt...used the whole knife scene and everything

No cabe duda de que Michael Landon era un actor excelente!

The horse is like now that I have broken your leg good I will calm down

On Little House, There was an episode Called "A Matter Of Faith" where Caroline fought an infection in her leg. She was alone and baking pies while Charles "Michael Landon" took the three girls on a trip to a Pig Farm. Many of the storylines and plots are the same in both series.

joe is immortal.. XD

It was the only episode that I cried so hard, my son was laughing at my silliness

Joss always make anyone put a smile on their face

Everyone is giving their opinions. So here's mine I Love Bonanza always will, I Love Little Joe he's my favorite Cartwright , His Ears are perfectly fine , His Butt is also perfectly fine, I loved his Beautiful eyes & smile, And I Absolutely love his gorgeous Long curly locks whatever color it is. He looked fine with His short hair but he looks even better with His long hair. I really like this episode it shows Little Joe's amazing courage even through all of the pain of being injured so badly but to keep going & fighting. Poor Joe 😢I agree with a few others it seemed like Joe was always hurt , kidnapped or accused of something more than anyone else but like someone else said that was one of the many reasons why Bonanza stayed so entertaining through all 14 season's. I always loved all ( THE AMAZING ADVENTURES OF LITTLE JOE CARTWRIGHT ) Thanks for sharing. From #1 Little Joe fan ALWAYS

Thank you so much for posting this video!!!!!

Very intense. The ending didn’t fit right though, considering everything Little Joe went through.

Not many Actors these days would drag themselves around get dirt and all sorts on them they would want a stunt double poor (Little) Joe.

One Of The Best Episodes Ever And The Episode Called The Hunter ❤

that was really good acting - ouch, i could feel the pain

Joe gets hurt more than any of them out together

Thank you so much for uploading this! One of my favourite episodes!

I bet Hoss finished off that steak that Joe half cooked.

I really like Little Joe's hair like this! And that opening scene makes me grateful my dogs can sleep right through a thunderstorm (even though a dog couldn't trample me, lol). But I'm happy they've learned not to fear thunder and fireworks. All dogs can learn this, if they learn it from puppyhood 😊

Oh my freakin gosh! Was I the only one flinching and cringing every time joe got hit?!

I'm suffering so much, poor Joe

Always have to watch out for those medical books and self diagnosing...

Yes, quite a boy. There were a couple of places there where Joe reminded me of Elvis Presley. And yes, great acting. I felt as if I had been suffering with him. Tim was a cute little guy. 🥰

He was the best actor I've ever watched

Chinese guy sure pick a good time to leave on vacation😁

Nothing Can Top bonanza period very faithful fan earth angel caroline

Oh, I just saw that it was his 'left-hand/arm and his leg'. I think we left-handed people are just more prone to accidents. Where the heck is a cell phone when you need it? Good thing our boy has strong teeth cause he would have never made it.

He went gray early. The actor. I remember this episode.

Best western series

I remember seeing this when it aired, it was shocking and ultimately fantastic but not an episode I've rewatched much. Maybe just once

This show is so ridiculous and I keep watching.lol

Watching Joe's leg get stomped by the horse must have been both disturbing and graphic for 1970 TV.

Another great episode

This episode felt like it would never end.

Michael Landon redid this subject matter on Little House on the Prairie only is was Caroline who was hurt. He's done this on at least two other episodes of LHOTP.

👍love bonanza

Michael Landon did some mighty fine acting in this episode

I would have loved to be Joe’s nurse.

There's NO WAY he would be able to bear weight on that leg..

Thanks for uploading this episode.

realistic! good episode.

Little Joe should have pinned a note on Cochise and smacked him on the hind end.

Wow, this Episode is trippy.. Michael Landon is excellent Bravo! ps : Joe/Michael is left handed

Very intense. I was beginning to think that Joe was going to become an alcoholic.( a matter of circumstance) However, I am glad that it didn't go down like that. I thought that maybe he could've used his faithful horse to help him get from the barn to the house. And I don't know why they didn't have dogs on the Ponderosa. If he had one, the dog could've gone for help. " Go Shep! Go get help! Good boy!" It could've worked.

I Don't Recall Ever Seeing This Episode; Even Though I Grew Up Loving The Series...

i love you for uploading this

That stomping hurt just looking at it. Good acting.

This was the weirdest episode of Bonanza that I've ever seen,and I've seen all of em.

Compared to Joe, Chuck Norris is a lightweight

Pass me some of that pain killer, Joe! This boy is is constantly getting beat up, shot up and now stepped on by a horse. I think it has to do with being left-handed.

Great acting job Mr Landon

That's horses for you majestic beasts as fast as the wind with bricks for feet.

Man, was that ever swollen!

Great episode. Reminded me of "Lost" with Tom Hanks for sure. I'd bet whoever wrote that screenplay saw this one.

Silence scenery amazing.

He could have tried to send up puffs of smoke from his fire place. - John Zube, 22.2,21

rest in peace Candy

3:34 the horse is like "there you go..now take it easy "boy".."

Ty for sharing love bonanza

The man and his boy, Ben and Hoss, and everybody were all useless when Little Jose was in real pain.

First Bonanza show I know where there’s no violence no shooting n no killing. Sad that Adam had left Ponderosa for good or else he would have rescued Joe.

Damn I must be middle class. I haven't seen that hunk of beef like that in my kitchen for a while now.

Landon was a long hair, he grew up in that era. The longer his hair is the better he looks.

We need translations from Chinese to English. I sure would like to know what Hopsing says when angered. I bet it is funny like most of his dialog.

Was it just me or was i the only one who saw joes leg break clearly right in front of my eyes...i feel bad for him

I never could understand how the kid never saw him when he looked in the barn!

Damn... Michael Landon looked like he was already Charles Ingles!

About 5 years late... Thanks Lisa!

So sad to c just 3 men riding out now.......

Could the writers make this drag out any longer? Jeez add a few coke commercials and you ALMOST have a show.

Oh that hurt seeing the horse trample his leg 🦵😮

Go Joe

LMAO " Hoss you will do anything too get out of roundup ".

BoNaNzA is On!😋😀😯🤤

O Adam faz muito falta, amo todos mais sinto falta dele. 🏇🏇🏇🏇🏇🏇🏇🏇🏇🏇.

When little Joe looked up his symptoms reminds me of people looking up their ailments on Google. He should've spent his energy on figuring how to get on the horse to ride into town
