First off, he was just Hoss's little brother, and although he did not grow an inch in height (let's not count the 2 inch heels), his ego grew a mile. Now he is even directing the very show in which he is the main star!
Not surprising, most of the show revolved about Michael Landon pounding his own chest, either as a character, or actor, or Mr. Big Shot director. I felt sorry for the supporting cast and the production people, who had to endure it.
Here are the highlights - right in the beginning Joe and Hoss are trotting into a store room, each one carrying a quart of nitroglycerin, side-by-side, and they casually set it, side-by-side, on the very top shelf. A cat casually knocks one of the quart-sized bottle of nitroglycerin off that top shelf (cats do that, right?), and what does quick thinking Little Joe do? No, he does not jump out, he jumps inside, to cushion the bottle's fall! Like many others recently, this show is packed with social engineering, but it was tolerable. The highlight was the very ending and that's why I rate it 6 instead of 2. But I can't spoil it, you've got to see it..
