Recently my wife and I started watching every Bonanza episode.
We are halfway through season 2 and so far the total number of people killed by the Cartwrights appears to be 29.
But the Cartwrights haven't been without their own tragedies too ..
2 girlfriends killed or died
Ben has been shot once, stabbed once, beat up once.
Joe has been beat up 3 times and shot once
Adam has been shot twice (with guns) twice (with arrows) and one beating.
Hoss has even been beat up twice.
Never realized watching as a kid just what crazed killers these Cartwrights were
Nor how apparently indestructible. And we've only watched 1.5 seasons!
And yes I found websites where they have tracked all these stats. Jeez, I might have to switch to Gilligans Island before I get PTSD.
