We visited Lake Tahoe several years ago.
Near where we were staying was the amusement park
The Ponderosa Ranch.

Who was your favorite Cartwright?
I liked big brother Adam, then there's Little Joe,
Dad Ben and of course, Hoss.
Here they are in front of the Ranch House.

This may be my favorite postcard of the Ponderosa Village
at Incline Village, Nevada.
I love the view of Lake Tahoe in the background.
Every time we go someplace new, I buy postcards. I even send a few out to friends and occasionally send one to myself. Memories!
I used to watch this on Sunday evenings in Montreal with my parents.
ReplyDeleteit was on after the Ed Sullivan Show.
Since the advent of cable tv with 100+ channels, we can see it now on Lonestar TV.
i liked Adam - but I've never had a waist as tiny as his.Did you know that he wore a corset?

Snap, send me your snail mail and I'll send you a postcard from NYC if you want~! :) I have a PFF up!
ReplyDeleteWe did not have a TV in our home as a youngster, but we did occasionally get to watch at a neighbor's home. I can hear the tune, but I don't remember the name of the program.
ReplyDeleteLoved that theme song (and now I can't get it out of my head! lol!!). Oh the Ponderosa...Ben, Adam, Hoss and Little Joe. Oh yes, my favourite was Little Joe!!!
ReplyDeleteBut wait..where's Hop Sing?!?! :)
If you want a post card from my neck of the woods send me an email with your address!
I always loved watching Bonanza, and sometimes still do on cable. My favorite was Hoss and Little Joe.
ReplyDeleteYour postcards are wonderful. I still send postcards out whenever I go somewhere also, and like you, I send one to myself occasionally. If you go to my blog, keepsake letters you will see one that I sent to myself in 2006 from Jackson Hole, WY.
Neat Snap.... I had no idea where Bonanza was filmed. I loved them all--but I guess Hoss was my fav. Of course, Little Joe was pretty special also. GREAT show. They just don't make them like that anymore.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
Hugs,
Betsy
I like the one wearing black :)
ReplyDeleteYou Got A Posty
All Little Things I Like
I am dating myself here, but at the time of this show we did not have cable and we lived in a valley and only got one station - not the one carrying Ponderosa.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know Adam wore a corset. Learn something new everyday. I had to google on Bonanza. It was on 14 years and was one of the first television shows to be filmed and shown in color. Betsy, you are right ... they don't make them like that anymore.
ReplyDeleteMy parents were pretty strict on what shows we could watch and Bonanza was THE show for Sunday night along with a couple of others. Homework had to be done before the seven of us circled around the TV for this show. I was so in love with Adam...dark and that wry smile. I just couldn't figure out how HopSing could keep up with all those guys!
ReplyDeleteDum-diddle-um-diddle-um-diddle-um-diddle-um-dum! Dum- Dum! :p)
ReplyDeleteHow absolutely hilarious we were thinking along the same lines today, Snap. My fave was Little Joe, of course because he was mad hot. (Second to you-know-who...) But I have to say, I loooooved Hoss. I wanted to cuddle him up! I liked Adam, too, but he was too aloof for me. And they never gave him the good storylines! What was that about?? Great post. I want to go see that little village!
Posts with a theme are always more intersting to me. Cowboys of the West still have a romantic aura about them.
ReplyDeleteHoss, definitively Hoss was my favourite Bonanza cowboy. I am now humming the tune... Thanks for sharing this wonderful postcards with us at PFF.
ReplyDeleteOh how fun....
ReplyDeleteI loved that show....and swooned over Little Joe. :-)
Gee, that was so long ago.
Have a beautiful weekend
I made my kids watch Ponderosa one time, and they just didn't get why it was such a big hit. I thought that was too bad. Thanks for stopping by love your post. You know what we'll all be singing...
ReplyDeleteso lovely! i'm afraid i only know ponderosa, the restaurant! :P
ReplyDeleteObviously I have been missing something big! I was brought up mostly out of reach of television - a long time ago. But I do love the map card!
ReplyDeleteI love the vintage map postcard !!
ReplyDeleteI love to buy & send myself a postcard when I go to new place too :)
Oh, these are just great! And what a great show too! I think my favorite was Hoss or little Joe.
ReplyDeleteNow I have that theme song stuck in my head!
oooh, this post makes me want to go there. I was partial to Little Joe - I remember watching it some in our old family room - I think I liked Gunsmoke better because of the lovely Miss Kitty :)
ReplyDeleteThis is FANTASTIC! I'm skipping down memory lane now! I'll be humming this theme music happily all week1
