Bonanza intro - the extra-short version!

PicPal's Bonanza Special

We've truly entered a new era of publishing when an entire book can be guided to print by a fan email list. That's how Melany Shapiro, author of Bonanza: The Definitive Ponderosa Companion did her research. She even gives the address where you can sign up after she thanks her fellow subscribers for their "hundreds of answered questions"!
Along with cast bios you'll find synopses of all the episodes filmed and unfilmed, plus three different indexes broken down by titles, air dates, and guest stars. From the size 54 suit coat for Dan Blocker to fan fiction by a Canary Islands resident, not to mention the many lunch boxes, Mexican lobby cards and other promo items, all the minutiae of the series and its stars are catalogued or reproduced here. If you're tired of bom-budda-bomming to the theme song, you can finally learn the lyrics, reprinted on the last page! And if you fall in love with the full-color vistas on the videos listed below, you'll be happy to learn the Ponderosa Ranch is a real place you can still visit (not some Disney-fied recreation either, but the unspoiled Nevada site where the series was filmed).
Together the following 8 tapes represent 16 of the 32 episodes from the first season; 2 per tape all Closed-Captioned:
