Free Western Classic: Bonanza - Episode 147 - The Prime of Life - Ben Cartwright doubts his fitness to run the Ponderosa when his impatience results in a logging camp accident that causes serious injury to himself and an old friend's death.
The Prime of Life
Director: Christian Nyby
Writer: Peter Packer
Stars: Lorne Greene, Pernell Roberts, Dan Blocker
Genre: Western
Country: USA
Language: English
Release Date: 29 December 1963 USA
Filming Locations: Paramount Studios - 5555 Melrose Avenue, Hollywood, Los Angeles, California, USA
Storyline:
While trying to land a lucrative lumber contract with the railroad, Ben Cartwright once again finds himself in competition with his old and hated rival, ruthless ranchowner Barney Fuller (Jay C. Flippen). Determined to prove that he is up to the challenge, Ben displays an uncharacteristic streak of recklessness-and in so doing, accidentally causes the death of a Ponderosa ranchhand. Written on rottentomatoes.com
Reviews:
"This episode concerns Lorne Greene in a rare moment of introspection. He and Jay C. Flippen are long time business rivals. Flippen's a genial gladhander. He's also shrewd and ruthless.
So when Lorne Greene wins a bid on a timber contract to deliver lumber and build a railroad trestle Flippen awaits his opportunity. It comes when Ben Cartwright's long time friend Ralph Moody is killed and Lorne Greene seriously injured by falling timber.
The sons take over, but will Ben Cartwright get back in the game. He didn't build the Ponderosa moping as he does here.
Nice guest star turn by Flippen." Written by bkoganbing on IMDb.com
"WOW !!!! It is superb storyline and directing . The cast always in form . It doesn't get any better . Profound in it's philosophical perspective of life . Ben Cartwright is faced with a dilemma that is not only unfortunate but also places him in an opportunity to gain a more enlightened sense of life priorities . A very real situation that is experienced by a lot of us in real life . The writer nailed it . The added bonus was seeing how an old friend / rival and the daughter bring Ben back from a path that would ultimately destroy his life. Sometimes a friend can come in a peculiar way to help . The wound Ben suffered to his leg was put in perspective by the gravity of a greater loss and greater challenge ." Written by carizzer on IMDb.com

It is 2022 and shows like Bonanza, Gunsmoke, Virginian, and Wagon Train are all before my time but these shows are great and I watch them everyday. Each show provides a lesson in every episode unlike the shows aired today. When they dropped shows that aired values such as family, honesty, trust, and loyalty etc. look at the results. We turn to youtube postings to enjoy great shows instead of mess. Thanks for uploading these magnificent videos! 👏👏👏

Bonanza represents the honesty and integrity that is missing from today's prime time programs, with the latter being about explicit behavior to a degree. It's a shame that young people today are being fed this and not the lessons I and my generation learned years ago. Thank you for posting.

Every story line has a lesson we can all learn from, so was the nature of all Mike was involved in. This is what is called good film, years after it was taken off TV and centuries later it is still significant and generations who didn't live in the time of these actors are now finding the lessons helpful. It makes me realise the meaning of the words you can't keep a good man down. When they discontinued Bonanza I guess they thought that would have been it. Well 🙄 it's 2021 and it still holds the position today as it did 40 years ago. May you all rest in eternal peace, PA, Hoss, Adam and my dearest LIL Joe. ♥️♥️♥️

Gabe was so right when he said to ben sometimes we just have to take things slow to not work yourself to fragile over anything stop to give time and be blessed for being alive! Gabe was just telling Ben to take it easy not to rush himself or others on things weather the project was Important or so as I understand why it is! Just wish Ben listened to Hoss about the object wooden crane breaking and just did other things another way around and no accident would've happened and felt so heart broken about Gabe! But even with modern technology these days can still break and involve and accident still eh! As I'm high functioning autistic going through a sad hard life have no job friends or a girlfriend being in compliant argued fought at trying my best to do what I can and accept what comes! Sometimes I stop to think the time of being alive until when later! As I'm about to have a chance to escape walk away from wherever I'm at wish me good things to come god bless any of you!

...Long time ago I worked for the US Forest Service. The old foresters taught us to never rush things...safety first...they also trained on tool safety and first aid. They said if we felt rushed is when we need to stop, look listen, and take a step back. Later I worked for electric and gas utility industry - I told my colleagues and customers the same I learned from the old foresters. If you feel rushed then take a step back and if needed postpone and reschedule the work. Bonanza always sending great life lessons.

This is a great episode and great story line. One of my favorite "Ben" stories. The only flaw in it was everyone trying to tell him that it (accident) wasn't his fault. Problem is that it WAS! Behind schedule or not Ben should never have used that broken tackle block and when he did he should have made DOUBLY sure no one walked under it for even a split second. It caused his friend's death and he was right to feel guilty. In today's world he would be financially responsible but probably not criminally. But in the end all you can do is what Ben did. He apologized, grieved for his friend greatly, tried to make amends as best he could, paid whatever penalty there was criminally (in this case there was none) and then after a period moved on with life. I'm sure that from that time on he would never put individual safety over meeting a schedule.

I find it very out of character of Ben for him to suddenly be so reckless and negligent as to ignore the warnings of his son Hoss and his men. I'd think he would have just waited for the new pulley to arrive. That being said, the guy who walked under the log as it was being hoisted up was a moron.

Sure just about one more hour, but then we wouldn't have had a plotline. That was a sub theme: extreme work ethic over appreciation of life. May things to mull over in this one. Differences in people. A tiger can't change his stripes. A good friend is one yhat won't overempathize or encourage you to quit. And more.

It was not an accident. Ben, after being warned, insisted on moving the logs pronto, putting all his crew at risk. Had he waited 1 more hour for the new block, noone would have died. He made a deliberate decision to go forward with the cracked block. It should not have been referenced as an accident.

As it is with all agreements, everyone loves an alpha male, the father[ Ben Cartwright ] teaches his son's, Adam, Hoss, and Joe, this same alpha attitude and when the father show's sign's of challenges this same teachings come back in mysterious fashion's and lift his spirits and revitalize him through anger, understanding and forgiveness. This the blessing's that the older show's bring to the audiences for time immemorial, passing down this incredible and indestructible power, and virtue, in shows like Bonanza. And it's character's we all grow to love, as if these same gentlemen were alive today. We honor their legacy even today, in 9/21 thanks to technology.
