Highly Overrated But Still Good

Far from Perfect, Far from Terrible

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Ben, Hoss, & Little Joe must be spinning in their graves to witness how Hollywood honors their memory with such garbage as "PONDEROSA". Close your eyes and you would think that you were watching either "GENERAL HOSPITAL" or reruns of "XEENA".Typical of Hollywood lately is to throw in an overbearing obnoxious woman character into their action TV shows and have them save the day. With "Ponderosa" it's the same old rehash, only this time they have a woman who dresses like a man, drinks like a man, and smokes cigars like a man. Almost as unbelievable as their other idiot TV show about the "Three Musketeers" where they have a woman with a beard fighting alongside armed with a sword. Can it get anymore ridiculous???I suggest that Hollywood should take an IQ test and brush up on their Classic Literature from the past. No wonder our kids are so stupid about history & the classics.On a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being best, I would rate "Ponderosa" a -39. In other words, if you want to see a great western go buy the old "Bonanza Series" on CD.

The Ponderosa is a well made show, that we looked forward to watching at our house. The stories were interesting and very well acted. The hard work of all who brought it together was quite apparent. Having a younger version of the Cartwrights is such a great idea, with so many possibilities. I was able to introduce my daughter to the characters and she really loved them. After one season, this show was really coming together and I hope to see more of it in the future.

The Ponderosa is a statement about a way of life - the Cartwright way. At the center is family. This the binding force that gives Ben and his three sons the courage to overcome loss, oppose discrimination against others, and to always strive to act in a manner that is just and ethical.Cartwright values are priceless, especially in our modern world. With its dedicated fan base, the Ponderosa is an asset to any television network. But, more importantly, the Cartwright legacy will make its television network an asset to the world.
