Review of Ponderosa

Ponderosa (2001–2002)
Loosely based on "General Hospital" but set in the Old West
16 May 2006
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.
