I wish that it had lasted longer. I grew up watch re runs of Bonanza with my mom and as an adult still watch it. I just started watching Ponderosa on youtube recently and I have to say I really enjoy it. I think that it probably could have lasted at least another season had the cost of it not been so high. I love how it shows more of a connection with Ben and the boys. I often found more of a connection with the boys with each other in Bonanza. I also like the inertactment with Adam and Joe cause in later years you can tell that their relationship was a bit strained. Though I do think that some of the story lines waver far from later on in Bonanza it's still a good show and I have great fun watching it.
