Yeah, I sure didn’t mean to make light of any Bonanza fans. My family can’t understand why I google for Willie news everyday, either, so there you go. Was there ever a movie? Chris Farley would have made a good Hoss — what do you think? I was trying to think of people Willie likes to hang out with. It was interesting to learn that Bonanza was second only to Gunsmoke for longevity. Now I want to watch it again. I don’t think there are any re-makes in the works, so everyone can probably rest easy. Thanks for visiting the site.

Well, when I say horrified, I speak for many, many fans on the Bonanza fansites (yeah, they’re still out there!) They’re about to have heart attacks over it! You’re talking about the holy grail of western television! LOL I myself kinda wish it would happen. No, it wouldn’t do the original show justice (Woody as Hoss? Come on!) but it sounds like an entertaining idea. I love both Willie and Owen, so I’d watch it for them alone.

Oh, Anon, who could you cast in a Bonanza movie that would be better than Willie and those guys?

I wonder myself, not that I could go but we just always MUST know where Willie is playing.

Yeah, I just saw the Colorado schedule come across my Google alert. I’d be moving in with you for a month if it were true!!!

I did! I hope he reads it, too. But I have been getting so many e-mails and phone calls about the schedule. I finally added *completely fictitious** under the fake colorado schedule. You can joke about somethings, but not Willie’s schedule!

I wonder where he’s playing in Austin tomorrow nite?

hahaha…Bill Mack told Willie that someone had sent a msg. asking if Willie was going to be playing Ben Cartwright in a new Bonaza movie. Willie didn’t know what he was talking about. It was sooo funny. I wanted to call in so badly and tell Willie to read your blog.

Did you hear it today, Linda?

Is this for real, or is it an elaborate Willie-style April Fool’s joke?
