“Bonanza” is on TeeVee during the day. Did you know this? It, combined with a blanket and a cup of coffee, is the best possible cure for an achey head and general sicky feelings. Pa Cartwright gives heartwarming speeches to the town drunks and helps them mend their ways, Hoss looks vaguely concerned at all times, and Adam is boring and handsome. Also, they all ride horses everywhere at top speed, which once again solidifies that I was born in the wrong century (except that I would probably be in a long skirt on a wagon in danger of fainting instead of galloping about on my horse. Minor detail).

Also, Little Joe frequently gets shot in the upper body, so that he is forced to continue to fire at Indians/Mexicans/cattle rustlers and other good-fer-nothings completely shirtless, with only an artfully placed bandage to wreck the view:Not that I’m complaining, I just thought I’d point out this piece of information, in case you find yourself down and out and in need of daytime entertainment.
