Ben: They beat you like this? Little Joe: They'd hanged me if Mark Burdette hadn't stopped it. Ben: Hanged you?!

Bonanza S1E2 "Death on Sun Mountain"

Robert Fuller got paid on this day. If cowboys took baths in living rooms, then I need a time machine. With dual showers outside and this bath tub they can cart anywhere, there’s no shortage of excuses to have Jess Harper and Slim Sherman walk around shirtless on set in this show.

I'll never stop loving how the two sweet gentle sons look all serious and intimidating (well mostly Adam, Hoss is big and imposing but if he ever looks scary it means someone really deserves what they're about to get)

And then the actual hot-tempered troublemaker just goes around permanently looking like a soft little puppy

s1:e23 - Duel at Alta Mesa

Thank you, @sportstudfan, for this GIF! When Jess is chasing the thief in Mexico, he ends up jumping from the balcony onto his horse to catch up with him.

And for those curious, yes, Robert Fuller actually did this stunt! I have confirmation from the man himself. 🤠
