:DHi!
I've been a fan of Pernell Roberts for awhile and I just wanted to say that I think he is a great actor and I loved him in almost everything he played in-movies and tv.
Of course, he will always be known as 'Adam Cartwright', but he had a lot of other characters too. He brought something special to each one.
I understand why he wanted to leave Bonanza, but I'm sure glad that we have the six years-worth of episodes of him in it. It just wouldn't be the same without him.
I have not viewed many of the 'Trapper' shows but I intend to get copies and enjoy them.
I have a lot of his movies and Bonanza episodes on tape and almost every night I watch one or more of them. I have to get my 'Pernell fix'. lol
I was glad to find this board. Thanks-Hawkeye for posting the addy on the pax BZ board.
Mr. Roberts has sooo many fans, I hope they will all come here and post.

;)Thanks for the welcome Hawkeye 13. I would have replied sooner but my phone has been off for a week now. We had a bad storm to come through-no damage to us, but it got the phone...lol. A lot of the boards are slow, don't take it personally.  I will do my part to try to encourage posting here. A lot of the folks use the Bonanza boards and it does take a lot of time-but I'm willing to stretch myself for Pernell. lol I like him in almost everything he did and I can't wait to get copies of Trapper John MD. ;D Are any episodes out on dvd's or are any copies available?...  Trappersnurse(who is always by his side) |

Actually, there are no official videos. However, for a reasonable price you can get 6 episodes of your choice from Jodie, who owns gregory Harrison fan site. I know some people hesitate to contact strangers, but Jodie is very nice and a very trusthworthy and reliable person. You can E-Mail her and ask her about tapes here: harrisonswebsite@aol.comAnd be sure to tell her that Hawkeye13 sent you. ;D PS: Its nice to see another loyal Pernell/TJMD fan! Always stay at his side! Lol. |

;D ;)Thanks a lot Hawkeye13. I will contact Jodie for some copies.
I have a pretty good collection of BZ tapes/dvds and some of his other movies, and I would love to acquire some episodes of Trapper.

:)Hi Hawkeye13, Since I don't have cable and our PAX station quit showing BZ episodes, I am content with some tapes that I have obtained from different sources. Most of my collection contains 'Adam' episodes, since he is my favorite Cartwright. When I was younger, I was a 'Joe' fan but I saw Pernell on a Gunsmoke episode and fell for that man hook, line and sinker. So, now it is fun to watch the BZ episodes to check out Adam. Nobody could have played 'Adam' any better than Pernell did. I just wish he could have 'enjoyed' playing the character. It's a shame that producers were not as flexible then as they are today. What a waste is was when he left the show. It just wasn't the same. I think he was misquoted and mistreated by the press and I can understand why he won't give interviews. I guess I've gotten off the subject here but I do tend to defend Pernell, because he's my favorite guy.   |

I dont see anything wrong with defending Mr.Roberts. I think he did the right thing, if he felt uncomfortable on Bonanza, he had every right to leave. Adam is my favorite Cartwright followed up by hoss.
Trapper John,M.D. was a terrific show, much better than the shows on today. When people tell me that it isnt good it was just meant to Ca$h in on the character's popularity I kinda get mad. Yeah, at first I guess it kinda was. But eventually the series gained enought to be considered a respected Medical Drama. It had great plots and wasnt just to Ca$h in. TJMD is actually not a spin-off of the TV show M.A.S.H like most people say.
But thats another story. I wandered off topic too. oh well. ;D

I loved Pernell on Bonanza when I was a kid. Now when I watch reruns, I can see why he might have felt it lacked substance. But it is still fun to watch.
I only watched Trapper John a few times. I couldn't really connect with the show because to me Wayne Rogers is the real TJ. Besides, the big draw seemed to be Gregory Harrison. But I still love PR and wish him well.
Whether he likes it or not, Adam Cartwright will live forever!
