Tin Men - Reflections on "Bonanza" and Relationships
Sam:
You know when I saw "Bonanza" the other day, something occured me.
Ernest:
Eh?
Sam:
You got those four guys living on the Ponderosa and you never hear them say anything about wanting to get laid.
Ernest:
Huh?
Sam:
I mean you never hear Hoss say to Little Joe, "I had such a hard-on when I woke up this morning.
Ernest:
No, no, no...
Sam:
They don't talk about broads - nothing. You never hear Little Joe say, "Hey, Hoss. I went to Virgina City and I saw a girl with the greatest ass I've ever seen in my life." They just walk around the Ponderosa: "Yes, Pa. Where's Little Joe?" Nothing about broads. I don't think I'm being too picky. But if at least once, they talked about getting horny. I don't care if you live on the Ponderosa or right here in Baltimore, guys talk about getting laid. I'm beginning to think that show doesn't have too much realism.
