Don't know how many Bonanza episodes I watched. I always liked the part of the map burning during the intro. Never liked Little Joe though... always thought he was a smartass. Everyone in those days just had to learn how to play the theme song on the guitar... I did. Bonanza was big business in its day; probably second to Gunsmoke and maybe even #1 at times.
He gave up a fortune in fame and money when he dumped Bonanza, but he wasn't happy there. Roberts was bald as a fart, but the studio made him wear a toupee to look younger. Plus, he and Lorne Greene were about the same age with Roberts having to go around calling him "Pa." Just too much for him.
In 1985 I was traveling, an easterner, on my first trip to the Grand Canyon. At the IMAX theater, I went into the restroom and my sister came running in saying, "Guess who is in line right behind us? Pernell Roberts! When I came out, there he was, with family, it looked like. He sat about four rows behind us but the kids went to the first row. He shouted down to them, "Dont' get wet!" Anyone who has been to an IMAX knows what he means. Everyone left him alone to enjoy his vacation.

@ljlover2001 I was sad too! the worst was that in my Country they said it just (in spanish) "Pernell Roberts the actor who played Adam Cartwright died due to cancer" that was all, not tribute not nothing ¬¬... But if you think, he died at 81 years old. Dan Blocker and Michael Landon died way too young. RIP Dan Blocker, RIP Michale Landon, RIP Lorne Greene and now, RIP Pernell Roberts... thank you all for the gift of those 4 great characters you played!.
Lovewly memorial, thank you for sharing. Hollywood so missed the Pernell boat, and I am glad he chased his passions instead of caving into their formula acting ideas. I suspect he would have stayed with BZ had Dortort allowed him some freedom with his acting passions and the development of Adam. Alas, for all of us, we will never know, they are both gone now.
@Juliaflo Thank you...I have to get that...beautiful. I found a copy of it being sung by the late Pavarotti...cant understand it, but still beautiful.
thank you so much for this video. you made my day! i will always remember him the way he was as adam ... he was soooo beautiful. my favourite is the one at 1:33 THANK YOU!!!!

He was a Tausus Dragon , wow now wonder so magestic! Very nice Thankyou kindly. I'm watching Bonanza for weeks now and he was calm cool and collected! xoxo ;}
@tallblond1947 Yeah I know what you mean. I wasn't around when Bonanza first started I was only about 1 when Pernell left Bonanza, but from the first time I saw him as Adam he took my breath away and I've been in love with him ever sence and it has never faded for long. Oh real life got in the way once in while, but not for long, I always came back to him. I was probably around 5 when I first saw Adam in reruns. I name my now 23 year old son Adam because of him. Yep he'll always be in my heart.
Pernell Roberts" I hope I meet you in heaven someday, and I will love you forever...! Let the wind blow in your hair, when your ride into the heaven. For me you were my shining star, and I will never, never ever forget you. And let the angels watch over you, and protect you. For all the times who come, in the heaven... I will on earth, look up on the stars, and thinking of you... Just love you so much... "Amazing " Adam Cartwright"... Rest In Peace.....!
@koreane57 yo tambien lo veo en bonanza pero no es lo mismo ahora se que ya no esta y me siento muy triste por su muerte siempre lo voy a recordar y quisiera poder conocerlo aunque sea en la otra vida
as rare as panceatic cancer is, it's so ironic to lose pernell & michael landon to the same demon

Beautiful captures. It was a very sad day when I heard the news of his passing; the last of the Cartwright men to die.
I know that Pernell left the show, as he had every right to do, but for me, at least, Adam never left the Ponderosa
