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.

Great Actor
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.

Zsa Zsa Gabor
For a couple of years, Zsa Zsa, a resident of Palm Beach, would call the Love Doctor's show on WZZR, the studio is actually within seven miles of here, but credited in West Palm Beach. Their former producer, Terrance "The Hair" was talking to her, and all of a sudden came out with a classicly ugly remark to her, she hung up and never called again. I don't think the hosts of the show ever made any attempt to apologize to her, nor did the hysterically funny Mister Terrance, who deems himself a wit seldom seen since Robert Benchley.

I always liked Pernell. Also a fan of Robert Conrad. Any Michael Landon fans? If so... rent "Ten Inch Hero" at Block Buster and check out "Tad" in the movie.

Ok, Here's Robert Conrad
I guess I can safely post this, after all, it was a promotional picture in 1959.
And, what about Ty Hardin?

Jon, that is a beautiful post in every sense of the word. I hope you don't get in trouble for it!
I'm surprised that with the various posts mentioning "Trapper John" that no one has said a word about the then-young hunk Gregory Harrison who seemed at the time to be landing role after role where he was required to remove his shirt at some point, and we all owe a debt of gratitude to those writers! Does anyone have recent pix of our boy Greg? I haven't seen him in years.
