Rescue me, Father
I had a very difficult childhood. As a young boy I fell in love with "Adam" and my favorite fantasy was being being found, abandoned, on his doorstep and they took me in. I really enjoyed Trapper John MD and the charactor he portrayed.

I always fantasized about him too as a kid watching Bonanza. Probably my first crush LOL
I never watched Trapper John much though.

"I just googled him and he was 81? yikes I never imagined he was that old"
Pete: I have trouble getting my head around this too, but Bonanza aired its last first-run episode on January 16th 1973, which was - brace yaself - just a few days over thirty-seven years ago.
Roberts would have been in his forties at that time, hardly ready for Happy Acres yet.

But only knew the man from "Trapper John MD". Had no idea he was on "Bonaza", much less the last living cast member.
Pace, t'imploro. Pace

I was living in Fort Knox, KY when this came on. Pernell was my favorite too, and I loved him in Trapper John. Yum!

I had a big crush
on Pernell and Robert Conrad in my youth years ago. Like Mixfinder, Mr. Pernell was indeed like a father figure.

Oh my, how sad!!! Yep, I really enjoyed his Trapper John character. Always decisive, strong, and gentle. I ass always torn between Pernell & Dan Blocker when watching Bonanza. If I could have merged the best of the two of them together, I would have been ane xtremely happy little boy!!!
Dan Blocker was a super guy, very appealing.
Mee too
I had a crush on Pernell and Robert Conrad.
Did you ever see Ken Berry without his shirt on?? Ooo Mama!
And Clint Walker from Cheyenne, whooeee when he was in the tub shirtless I knew I was gay!

Bob, that was a priceless typo!
OMG Clint Walker! Shirtless! On TV in the 60's!
Little did I know at the time why I was so intrigued by Adam Cartwright. I was totally bummed out when he left "Bonanza" and turned to Hoss as the one to hopefully find in a shirtless shot in subsequent years, but still couldn't shake the thought of Adam, even in his trademark black shirt.

Ditto on Clint Walker and Ken Berry!! Had the same reactions mr. Jetcone. Fess Parker weren't nuttin to shake a stick at either. And Ralph, blush, i just saw that.
