Bonanza: Is There Any Man Here? (1970)
Season 11, Episode 19
8/10
Unusual direction for Bonanza
7 December 2017
Nearly every Bonanza show starts out dramatic and eventually turns to happy end. This show is different. It started with delightful interaction between Jennifer and Hop Sing. Another notable scene was the wedding announcement by Ben to his sons. The boys' acceptance was worth seeing twice (I did that). Great work. But then events took more negative, almost sinister turn up to the end. There was something missing, it seemed unfinished, as if the writer opened up larger issues, but then the show ran out of time. If there was any positive turn at the end, it was Ben's last words "let's go home, we have a ranch to run".
