I fell in love with Adam & Little Joe it was such a hard choice that which ever one was on the screen was my love for that moment, I started to watch when I was in first grade and on, on Bonanza on Saturday nights. It was the last show we could watch before bed for church on Sunday, it was a routine. Thank you Pernell for all your acting that was more to a little child, you fed all our dreams you let us know that we could be anything. “Rest in Peace.” I know that you are with God now. We all will miss you and I will pray for your family. Love you.
Obrigada, Sr. Roberts.

Love you since I was 10 years old watching Bonanza on Sunday nights. My favorite episode was “Miss Abigail Jones” because you sang, played guitar and really shined as the star you were. Also watched you as Trapper John. Was so happy that you were back on a weekly series. I always thought of you as a very good actor and was glad you stood by your convictions. It showed your character as a human being. You are sorely missed. Can’t believe it is a year already…..
My family and I used to watch Bonanza at night. I’m sorry. My respects to his family.
my favorite tv show thank you pernell i forever grateful
“Adam”, you were the best. I’m sorry that you had to leave us. Thank you for the wonderful characters that you played. I will always remember you.
I had a crush on Pernell and stopped watching when he left Bonanza. I eargly awaited each of his other shows and appearances. A gentleman and a good looker to boot!

Pernell,
You were a “touch of class” on Bonanza and missed big time when you left. The show wasn’t the same without you even though they tried with replacements. And you were right, a 34 year old educated man would not address his father as “Pa”. And in Trapper John, MD, you shined once again. Part of your appealwas your smooth voice, a great delivery and those black cowboy clothes that distinguished you. I was around 8 or 9 when I first watched Bonanza and it was the best show on TV. God Bless you and your family. Wish I had known or met you during your lifetime because you seemed like a great person. And everything I’ve read about you supports that.
Richard
so long may u rest in peace say hi to everyone up there god bless u
