You're fluent in Ben Cartwright's wives!
Ben was the First Mate onboard his ship. I believe it was a cargo ship.
7 out of 10.

How many brothers does Little Joe have?
Answer: 4 Adam, Hoss, Jamie, plus his brother Clay whom Joe's mom had with her
first husband. I have won many a mug of McSorleys finest ale with that one.

9/10 Mostly guesses 🤔
5/10. Great quiz. It seems like this is a quiz that has been waiting to happen for a long time. Good job MeTV. That was fun.
4/10. Oh well.
7/10. I remember how surprised I was when I saw the recently-departed Inger Swenson as Hoss’ mother. A complete 180 from her “Benson” character.
Inger's brother was Gunnar Borgstrom. Young Gunnar was played by Jeremy Slate. Old Gunnar was played by Neville Brand.

9/10 I missed Inger Swenson’s appearance on Barnaby Jones.
I missed her appearance as well.
One comment I must make: Ever notice in the Bonanza open Ben Hoss and Joe are grinning but Adam looks like he's constipated? Now I understand why Pernell Roberts left!
🤭
😂😂🤣🤣
8/10. Not too bad. Sometimes the ol' memory still works.
3/10 ans all guesses.
Only a six on the real wives of the Ponderosa quiz. Nuttin' to hop and sing about.
Good one! I see what ya did there.
The article mentioned Ben Cartwright's beautiful sons. I wouldn't exactly call them beautiful, especially Hoss.
Yes they should have said handsome! You NEVER call a boy beautiful!
