I'm not one bit obsessed with Bonanza. It's just on my mind 24 hours a day even when I'm at work. I have the Cartwrights pics posted all over my bedroom walls. I visit e-bay often. The Bonanza Website is my homepage on my computer, Ben is my desktop theme, I have a Bonanza screensaver, and a Bonanza mouse pad. I'm waiting for a Bonanza clock to arrive any day that I ordered. Me? Obsessed? Never! - (by Ponderosa_Rose) 42. You are afraid you might slip and call your landlord Mr. Cartwright instead of Mr. Crawford!! - (by Scarlett Cooper) 43. My cousin (a very big fan of Bonanza) and his family came to visit yesterday. His step-son came in wearing a bandana around his neck. When, my mother asked him if he was a cowboy he replied "No, I'm a Cartwright" (LOL)! So, I guess you could say you know you are obsessed when your children think they are Cartwrights :-)! - (by Scarlett Cooper) 44.

You devote your free time to building a miniature replica of the Ponderosa Ranch House. - (Submitted by Miss Maggie) 51. I'd like to share
with you when I you know OTHERS are obsessed - when you walk down the
street with your little sister (who is a charming imp, exactly 12 years
younger than you and you yourself happen to be black-haired and
dark-eyed). Then your best friend (who is large-framed and blond) joins
you and the three of you just stroll casually on. Suddenly everybody in
the neighborhood is staring at you and an elderly lady points you to her
daughter, saying "Look, there goes the female version of the
Cartwrights!"
