For those of us old enough to remember watching the TV show 'Bonanza', the last member of the Cartwright family has died.
The oldest son Adam, (played by Pernell Roberts), the first character to leave the show, has been the lone surviving member of the cast for almost 20 years.
Back in the early days of TV and early days of 'color' programs, many of us remember watching the widowed father 'Pa' and his three sons, Adam, Hoss and Little Joe...working out on the ranch and solving their and their neighbor ranchers problems every Sunday night.
Interesting that Roberts left the show because he said it just didn't seem right for a father and his three grown men 'sons' to be living together, and for the sons to not have any decision making power without running it by 'pa'...first.
Even with those faults, it was a good show with a good message. They don't make 'em like that anymore.
