This was the FINAL episode where Hoss & Little Joe get into trouble on their own which was a yearly traditional storyline showcasing the comedic skills and chemistry/rapport between Dan Blocker and Michael Landon. Without giving away too much I can say it was one of the better written episodes toward the end of the series. I liked immensely and Landon didn't look as bored as he normally did towards the end of the series where he just mugged and grinned in his scenes. If you ever catch in syndication check out. You will remember why Dan Blocker is so missed and see why the series was without it's heart without him. This was I believe the 7th to last episode he appeared before his untimely death in May of 1972.

Bonanza is still one of my all time favorite series, westerns or otherwise, and this is a fun episode with comedy and some satire mixed in. It's not one of their best, but Michael Landon and Dan Blocker had great chemistry together throughout the series, and this another good example of it.
