The inventor comes with it.

I usually love Bonanza comic episodes, but this one sadly bordered on the silly as opposed to the funny. Still an episode with Wally Cox bears looking at,

Hoss has really done it this time. He bought a gold detecting machine to help his friend Paul Fix out of one. Fix will have to sell his played out mine to Kelly Thordsen if Hoss can't detect unmined gold left around.

The inventor comes with this machine, Wally Cox playing one of his patented milquetoast characters.

What's silliest about this whole thing is Thordsen actually worrying weather this Rube GOLDberg contraption actually works. If it wasn't for that there would be no story.

Fans of Wally Cox should see this.

Aother Bonanza comedy with giggling little Joe

The show's title "Gold Detector" was a fair warning that I am about to watch yet another one in a series of silly Bonanza comedies. I watched it anyway, and it was silly as always. Little Joe just isn't Peter Sellers. 10 seconds of light giggle for every 6 minutes of wasted time. The best part was getting to the end and a chance to write this review. OK, Hop Sing had a very funny line. Come to think of it, Hop Sing always says something wise, or witty, or nothing at all. I gave the show 3 points only because I actually finished watching it to the end.
