One of my favorite Pernell moments from "Bonanza" is an episode in which the Cartwrights were framed for a robbery/murder. When they were found guilty, Ben, Hoss, and Little Joe were vocally protesting the trumped up charges. However, Adam calmly sat back in his chair in silence because he knew that getting loud wasn't going to solve anything. <br /><br />Hugh: I didn't make the pancreatic cancer connection between Pernell Roberts and Michael Landon until you mentioned it. Even now, the chances of surviving this form of cancer aren't all that good. <br /><br />Candy: Thanks! When I found this info on Pernell in 2008 or 2009, it was very eye opening. Although I knew about the reasons he left "Bonanza", the civil rights angle was new to me. <br /><br />Marvalus: Thanks for sharing your Trapper John M.D. story. I remember watching it on a fairly regular basis with my mother Sunday nights at 10. Instead of that reality B.S., TV Land should be running shows like "Trapper John, M.D.". Here is something to bring back memories for you:<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nTjo2L8k67k<br /><br />Barbara: Who was your other favorite Cartwright brother...

I'm delighted to know he was a supporter of civil rights! That's fantastic.<br /><br />I never liked Bonanza after he left, he was always my favourite character.
