Ponderosa Party Time!
Bonanza is an American western television series that ran on NBC from September 12, 1959 to January 16, 1973. Lasting 14 seasons and 431 episodes, it ranks as the second longest running western series (behind Gunsmoke) and continues to air in syndication. Centering around the Cartwright family in the Lake Tahoe area, the show stars Lorne Greene, Pernell Roberts, Dan Blocker, Michael Landon, and David Canary.
"They're four single guys with their own 1960s NBC TV series. There's a smart one, a cute one, a sensitive one, and a goofy one, and the liner notes of their first LP make a big deal of the fact that they not only sing, but also play their own instruments. Hey, hey!
It is Saturday night at the Ponderosa ranch. Usually, that would mean it's time to bathe Hoss, but this week, all the neighbors have dropped by for a big party and sing-along. The Cartwright boys take turns singing such frontier favorites as "Skip To My Lou" and "In The Pines," and between the songs, there is a lot of dialogue: joshing about the Hoss waistline, arguing over who will sing next, getting all misty over family bonds, and so on, all of which would get mighty tedious if anyone ever listened to this record more than once. But if your idea of a good time is a Saturday night on an isolated ranch with four men in leather and no women, then let's jump right in."
