R.I.P. P.E.R., I always kind of liked you.
R.I.P. Pernell. This weekend I’ll have to watch “San Francisco International” in your honor.
His life. His way. RIP Pernell.
There’s a Level 5 Smug Alert in heaven today…
Are we sure he’s dead? Maybe it’s just a drill.
He has gone a long road and did come to an end. Now he will be happy in heaven.
All the Cartwrights are now in that big Ponderosa in the sky. RIP
Do you still get mild food poisoning at the big Ponderosa in the Sky?
His foray into folk music was particularly vomitus(I’ve actually heard his folk album), and he always seemed a tad pretentious to me, but I admire anyone who sticks by his convictions even if it means leaving the “Bonanza” fortune behind. Rest in peace Mr. Roberts.
To celebrate him the next boxed set from Shout should include “San Francisco International.”
What a bummer. I always liked him.
#3 beat me to it.
I absolutely adore San Francisco International. That has to be one of my favorite all time episodes. And Pernell is a huge reason why. In fact, the riffing during any interaction between Pernell and “Davey” is as good as it gets.
Pernell: “Yeah, the way, they hit that runway and go vrooooom.”
Servo as Davey: “You know a lot about planes!”
Pernell, you will be missed.
One of the good dead ones ! :???:
Trapper John, we will miss you ! Coincidence that He was a tombstone maker early in his life?
I will be smug for a week out of respect ! :cry:
Pernell: “My job. My way.”
Servo: “Mylanta.”
Ahhh, I ~love~ “San Francisco International” …
RIP, PR.
first Hoss, then Pa, then little Joe, now Adam–my childhood heroes biting the dust!
I have many fond memories watching Bonanza reruns daily in the early 90’s as a young boy, with my twin brother and grandfather during hot summer days in California’s central valley. By that time, Hoss had already died, and Pa, and Little Joe died around that time. I wondered when this day would come. The last of the greats. It’s like the end of a chapter. How sad, and nostalgic. Deeply sympathic to his wife, Eleanor, she was a lucky woman to be with him in his final hours on earth. Now he is in a peaceful place, forever.

Always liked his acting…not a great actor but still well liked ….. RIP
This is a sad day for fans of good actoring. His work will always be respected and he will remain as what he was and what he had given everyone who watched him doing his thing.
Bob(NotThatBob)- you’re right- here is my next set for Shout:
Master Ninja I
Master Ninja II
San Francisco International
Robot Holucast (token season one ep.- a hidden gem, I think.)
wandering through IMDB I find that
Lorne Green was born in 1915
Pernell Roberts were born in 1928.
Making the actor playing the father only 13 years older than the actor playing his eldest son. No biggy, happens all the time in Hollywood.
But what shocked me was that Dan Blocker was ALSO born in 1928. I wouldn’t have pegged Dan and Pernell being only 6 months or so apart in age.
ACTING !!
I watched SF International last night in Pernell’s honor. I wonder if God will have to move out of heaven now since Pernell will be the best looking guy up there?
Amen, #20! Some of the bester goodest actoring of the highest quality. His way, of course…
so unbeliveable that he is gone.
he was a nice guy!
rest in peace amen!!!
Wow, I actually liked his performence in that episode and there were times I thought that if the show were better done just a bit more it would have made a good one-hour drama.
And contrary to Gypsy’s belief in HERCULES VS. THE MOON MEN, Pernell was not who Wayne Rogers grew up to be.
you’ve done a nice job!
pity that you’re gone!
wish ya all the best.
rest in peace! RIP! <3
omg! rad! i’ve don’t hear anything about them.
That’s so sad. :/ he was a good man!
my deepest condolences!
