Rating: - Bonanza Volume 8, I can't wait to buy the second DVD of Bonanza Volume 8 to keep with me
I'm a fan of Bonanza and I like horses, cowboys, cattle, etc.
This is a great TV show but, a little bad transfer on this DVD and this DVD is not terrible except, they removed the original theme music and the video is washed out. I don't care about it.

I can't wait to buy the second DVD of Bonanza Volume 8 to keep with me so I can have the second one and that way, I will keep one down in Baddeck and one to carry with me forever which should be very nice.

There are three episodes on one disc:

1. The Spitfire
2. The Stranger
3. The Mission

My two favorite episodes on Volume 8, the best one to only carry and keep with me forever are "The Stranger" and "The Mission."

In this episode "The Spitfire":

Joe must be forced to shoot and kill trespasser Jeb Hoad (Don C. Harvey) when he catches him setting fire to some timber and unsuccessfully orders him to stop. Jeb's daughter Willow (Anita Sands) tells Joe the Hoads will kill the Cartwrights. Grandma Hoad (Katherine Warren) and her boys come to the Ponderosa. Thier first target is Adam, who they shoot in the leg.

Guest Stars: Katherine Warren, Jack Elam

Written by: Ward Hawkins

Directed by: William Dario Faralla

Speaking of Ward Hawkins, "The Spitfire" was first telecast on January 14th, 1961, and this episode was written by Ward Hawkins.

In my favorite episode "The Stranger":

New Orleans Police Inspector Charles Leduque (Lloyd Nolan) tries to spoil Ben's bid for the Nevada governorship. Twenty years earlier, Ben killed Simon LaRoche in self-defense and fled. Inspector Leduque was accidentally crippled by his own gun while trying to arrest Ben. He threatens to disclose the reaseon Ben defended himself against Simon LaRoche - LaRoche had blackmailed Joe's mother Marie who feared her past would tarnish her husband. Ben agrees to drop the campaign and surrender, unaware that charges were dropped years earlier.

Guest Star: Lloyd Nolan

Written by: Leonard Heideman, Oliver Crawford

Directed by: Christian Nyby

Also appearing in this episode "The Stranger" are Joan Staley as Dixie, Robert Foulk as the sheriff, Hal Baylor as Tom Cole, and Oliver Crawford, and originally broadcast on February 27, 1960, "The Stranger" was written by Leonard Heideman and Oliver Crawford.

In my second favorite episode "The Mission":

Drunkard Charlie Trent (Henry Hull) feels responsible for the massacre of soldiers he had led years earlier. When Captain Pender (John Dehner) needs a scout, Hoss suggests Charlie, who insists Hoss come along. While on the trail the soldiers find water poisoned by Cutter (Peter Whitney), Charlie's predecessor.

Guest Stars: Henry Hull, Peter Whitney,
John Dehner, Harry Carey Jr., Lane Bradford,
Don Collier

Written by: Robert E. Thompson

Directed by: James Neilson

"The Mission" is a classic favorite episode and it's got the best special guest actors like Henry Hull, John Dehner, Peter Whitney and Don Collier, my favorite movie actors and Don Collier is the best and I like him and Robert E. Thompson, is one of the best screenwriters and he also wrote other Bonanza episodes including "Vendetta", "Blood on the Land", "Escape to the Ponderosa" and "The Mission". I think Robert E. Thompson could probably eat hamburgers and fries and drink water and we'd call Robert E. Thompson "The Thompson Burger Boy" and call "ROBERT E. THOMPSON'S BEST HAMBURGER AND FRIES". Delicious!

Bonanza, Vol. 3 with Badge Without Honor/Blood Line/Courtship/Death at Dawn, is one I'll for sure keep in Baddeck and that way, I'll just carry Volume 8 because it's the only one I would ever want to watch as it's got my favorite character Hoss in all three episodes which I love the best. "Bonanza, Vol. 8: The Spitfire/The Stranger/The Mission" reminds me of a book on "Rodeo: An Anthropologist Looks at the Wild and the Tame" by author Elizabeth Atwood Lawrence instead of some books published in 1980 and "Rodeo: An Anthropologist Looks at the Wild and the Tame" by author Elizabeth Atwood Lawrence would sure go reminding me great of "Bonanza, Vol. 8: The Spitfire/The Stranger/The Mission" and that's a new perfect life and way I wan't it to be from now on, forever.

I hope you all love Bonanza!

I loved, liked, enjoyed and I loved it and I can't wait to buy the second Bonanza DVD of Volume 8 of The Spitfire/The Stranger/The Mission so that way, I'll keep that one in Baddeck and keep the other one with me so I can remember Baddeck so I won't feel lonesome and volume 8 is sure my favorite one ever to keep only and that's my only good perfect choice just to only carry "Bonanza, Vol. 8: The Spitfire/The Stranger/The Mission" instead of carrying two or five at the same time and Volume 8 is the only best one I just want to carry with me forever and to live with in it forever, as, well, too, to live with the real good, old western life in this classic DVD, ever, of my favorite, "Bonanza, Vol. 8: The Spitfire/The Stranger/The Mission"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
