Book Review: A Lost Opportunity...and a waste of money
Summary: 1 Stars
Somebody should write a book about the making of BONANZA, the behind-the-scenes story of the writing and production of this long-running, beloved, television classic (along the lines of Gunsmoke: A Complete History book from the same publisher). Sadly, this book isn't it. A scant eight pages --- eight pages!-- are given to the creation, writing and production of the show. The bulk of the book is a workman-like episode guide to the 14 seasons and brief synopses of the TV movies, hardly worth the price of purchase. The only thing interesting and worthwhile about the book are the appendices listing various BONANZA merchandise, books, comics, and records. However, I wish the effort the authors put into gathering so much pointless information -- like listing all the shows available on video featuring Tim Matheson -- had been focused instead on giving us the definitive history of the show. Consider this a lost opportunity.
