They are the best

That was bad ass !

He was super cool in westerns

yet Combat was in b/w and this is in color. Combat premiered in 62, Bonanza in 59. This episode aired in 61 - so Vic was just soooo close to getting the Combat gig! Neat man. Was so sorry to lose him.

@@watchgoose The last season of Combat was in color(66-67), but I will tell you I liked the b/w episodes better. Yes, Morrow was great and we lost him way too soon.

@@matta3968 This was not the only time that Vic Morrow guest starred on Bonanza!. This was the third season in season one he guest starred in the episode the Avenger!.

Don't forget "Little House on the Prairie"

@@theicchamp06 I don't I've been watching all the same 🧐😳🤔

@Paul Kryder yes, he was.

It's not the so called smart bullets in this episode as you called them . It just happens to be the Cartwright that's shooting at the killer's happens to be a quick draw and a great shot if you watch several episodes closely where all 3 brothers are either in shootouts or fights all together at the same time Adam & Hoss are the better fighters between the 3 brothers but Little Joe is the better sharp shooter . Adam & Hoss are not as quick of a draw as little joe is and even though both are good shooters neither one has as good of an aim or agility and usually hits their targets as little joe usually always does. And I'm not just saying that because I'm a little joe fan it's a fact. Just watch some episodes where all 3 brothers are in shootouts together and you can clearly see that most of the time Joe isn't just the quickest draw but also the best sharpshooter of the 3 .

They were "homing bullets" not smart bullets....geez know your history bro. Homing Bullets were banned in 1907 because fellers out in the woods fired off a few rounds & killed 2 families that were camping together.

Yes, they did. When they were smartly fired correctly towards their target they would hit it. Just like today. If you look at the revolvers you'll notice 7 to 9 inch barrels on them. With a little practice, one could hit a gallon jug at 50 yards. With a lot of practice . . . Google Jerry Miculek and watch some of the videos. 30 yards for him is a piece of cake. It doesn't start to get challenging until about 150 yards. Back in the day when most people out west wore a handgun as part of their daily attire I'll bet even more people were as good as the few hundred shooters who are any good today.

@@markkmiecik9797 But notice that Jerry Miculek always holds the gun straight out at eye level using the sights. The Cartwrights always shoot a pistol from the hip.

that' hat was an atrocity all right

^^^Agreed the Deputy of Mayberry Would Have Made a Fine Deputy for "Little Joe" .. .

@@splash5150izy I'd rather see Don Knotts as Sheriff and little Joe as the bumbling Deputy.

Don Knotts couldn`t be the Sheriff. He`s "the shakiest gun in the west" kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hrqhhqyl3Lm2ZqM.html

you'd think he'd see at least one punch coming

Cos it works!!!🙄

SuzieQ Wonder Google Bonanza. U can get air date, cast, etc. imdb has loads of such information.

^^^I Thought the Same Thing SuzieQ Wonder .. .

If you wait until the end of the credits you can at least find the year it was broadcasted....but you have to know how to read Roman Numerals!! Lol

I reckon IMDB has what you're lookin' for mam. You have a nice day now yuh'hear?

If You Count Up All The Bad People That Little Joe, Hoss, Adam And Ben Cartright Killed In The Series, They Would Certainly Be Branded As The Most Notorious Killer In The Old West.

Ron Comfort They were simpler times, because we only had a TV and a radio (with just a few stations) at home to entertain us. No Internet and multiple electronic gadgets vying for our attention. We played marbles and played jacks, climbed trees and used a mop as a pretend horse. When was the last time you heard, children singing and playing the clapping game, Miss Mary Mack, or form a circle and sing "Ring around the Roses?"

Kicky q

Being a kid back then times were simpler with no responsibilities. And we tend to recall the good things of the past and not dwell on the bad.

It's funny that you say "life was simpler back then" If you really stop and think about it you might just realize that it was actually a very hard life back then. Every meal had to be hunted, fished or dug up and you had to have a fire to cook anything. Now we have microwave ovens and color T.V.'s. No, it wasn't simpler in ,amy ways but in one respect it was simpler...they didn't have all the taxes, traffic, transgenders, snowflakes and overall a bunch of Liberals trying to bring socialism as a legit form of government. Today it is a lot harder in social ways but back then you were lucky to make it past birth (I doubt abortion was very popular) or to the age of 40. THink about that.

In all these tv shows the youngest is always the kid. Look at The Big Valley, The High Chaparral, they are all the same. And that's also makes it fun to watch.

He didn't just kill Vic, John Landis butchered him AND two little kids!!!!!

Really....

YES! Always great to see him!

Mr combat with Rick jason

Was this filmed pre-Combat or during the Combat years?

Not likely during the Combat! years. They worked pretty hard -16 hours a day seven days a week for months on end. 30+ episodes a year for 4 years and then a shorter 5th season.

Vic got killed along with two children making the twilight zone movie

Lorne was once quoted as saying, "The farm animals smell better than those ol' rags that we all keep wearing every week."

For continuity purposes. That way some scenes could be used interchangable. This is why Joe always wore the same beige shirt & green jacket. And Adam wore the same black shirt, etc.

It's awesome for people like me with prosopagnosia! ("face blindness") But they actually do it for continuity (like Lucas McCain said) and for identity (like skirts365 said). I've extra'd in a couple movies and they can splice in different scenes more easily when the main characters' clothes don't change. But I do know this is one of the reasons why I love some of these older shows -- I was born with prosopagnosia, so all humans have faces that look very similar to me. If they put everyone in this cast in the same clothes, and covered up their hair, I couldn't tell one guy from the next, unless he had a beard or mustache. It's really annoying. People get all insulted, _"Don't you remember me??!"_ I'm spectacular at remembering names, but faces all look pretty much alike to me. (Human faces, I should say. I rescue and rehab animals and I can easily tell one marmoset monkey from another by his or her face. Same with dogs, cats, etc.) I'd be curious if anyone comes along and reads this thread who also has face blindness?

@@zxyatiywariii8 I've never heard of your disorder. Did you know your parents by facial recognition? I suppose it is kind of sad in one way because when you are out to get laid it isn't that important to you whether your partner is good looking or not!! Lol On the other hand I imagine that if you were to fall in love and your partner looked like a gorilla your friends and family would give you grief forever!! Sorry for your situation but I'm sure by now you have overcome most of any ridicule. Good luck in the future and I hope someday you can find a cure.

elchoya100 lol! 😂

Good one.
