Customer Reviews of Bonanza: Rose for Lotta/Truckee Strip
A Great Beginning Fans of the Bonanza series should really ensure they watch this first programme. Unlike some later episodes, it features all four main characters and reveals tensions between the Cartwrights, as landowners, and other business interests in the locality. Dangers exist for the ranchers which seem to have evaporated at later stages in the series.
The story moves quickly and well. There is plenty of action, as befits the macho world of the cowboy. Ben Cartwright's hubris at owning such a large ranch seems amusing and dated now, as does his religious zeal. A generous portion of love interest is provided by Little Joe and Adam, which will appeal to their fans, whereas poor old Hoss has more mundane considerations on his mind.
Very interesting to compare with later episodes and to note how the characters and their situations develop.
an absolute must for any bonanza fan
the audio and video are both excellent. but thats second to the actual story content. rose for lotta was the pilot for the series and shows ben as a bible quoting patriarch and almost too harsh a character to be likable. a far cry from the warm nurturing father figure he evolved into. the difference in the other characters is not quite as noticable. but its really interesting to compare all 4 of our heroes in this episode to the ben, adam hoss and joe of the early and mid sixtys. the scenery is specactular in both episodes and the stories both well written. the truckee strip quest stars a young james cobourn and is every bit as enjoyable as rose for lotta. watching these episodes a trip down memory lane even for non bonanza buffs.
A Great Primer
As the first episode in the "Bonanza" series, A Rose for Lotta is a must for fans. It's a starting point for the evolution of the Cartwrights and the Ponderosa. Lots of humor and some wild west action. The tape quality is excellent.
