Free Western Classic: Bonanza – Episode 158 – No Less a Man – Certain that he is too old to stand against a notorious gang of bank robbers when news arrives that Virginia City will soon be next in a long string of successful raids, the terrified townsfolk demand Sheriff Coffee’s resignation to make way for a younger lawman.

No Less a Man

Genre: Western
Country: USA

Release Date: 15 March 1964 USA

Storyline:
In anticipation of a raid by the deadly Wagner outlaw gang, the townsfolk of Virginia City want to replace their ageing sheriff Roy Coffee, whom they feel is not equal to the task of standing up to the Wagners. Adam Cartwright is among the few who insists that Coffee remain in office-but even he has second thoughts when the Sheriff appears to be suffering from a latent case of cowardice. Written by Jerry Adelman, this episode was a tour de force for veteran character actor Ray Teal, here given a rare opportunity to deliver a performance that transcends the standard two-dimensionality of Sheriff Roy Coffee. Written on rottentomatoes.com

Reviews:
“Ray Teal who was for so many years a semi-regular on Bonanza as sheriff Roy Coffee he was like a piece of furniture from the Ponderosa house gets center stage in this episode.

Some folks on the Virginia City Town Council think that Teal has seen his best days especially since he was wounded dealing with a drunk. Also the notorious Wagner gang is in the area robbing banks and spreading a lot of mayhem. Some citizens wonder if Teal can still cut it.

Pernell Roberts who is on the town council offers to help Teal out. For the only time in Bonanza’s run, Sheriff Coffee opens up about himself. We learn he’s a widower with no children and he looks on the citizens of Virginia City as kind of his children. The job is his life.

All I’ll say is that in the end it’s proved the man still has what it takes to get the job done.

Nice to see Ray Teal get center stage in an episode.” Written by bkoganbing on IMDb.com

  1. Rig up some claymores at the border of the town such as the ones used in Vietnam and have people watch for the gang and when the Wagner gang does some bad crime set off the Claymores on them; when they leave town.

  6. I guess the Wagner gang warned the Cartwrights before riding onto town, since they all happened to be there to stop the posse and help Sheriff Roy.

  9. One of the best "outdoor" indoor soundstage sets ever ! Look at the beauty and sheer scale of it. The production designer, and set decorator outdid themselves on that one. Just wish we could have gotten more than a couple minutes of screentime with it. If I ever get a house, and can afford to make my bedroom look like anything, it will be this. I will get a bedroll, and sleep out on the "open prairie". Much love at 31:42.❤

  10. This is one of the best Bonanza episodes and that is because Ray Teal, finally, had such a major role in this episode. That’s the main reason but the 2nd reason is that the writers chose Pernell to be right along with him. Great episode, great episode!!!!

  16. Once again, this proves that wisdom and experience are preferable to the use of force and unnecessary violence. Well done, Sheriff Roy!

  18. In previous episodes Ben doesn't have a vote in Virginia City because the Ponderosa is outside the city. Now he's on City council? The writers should have kept their stories straight.

  22. Why the unnecessary hostility at the beginning surrounding whose going to open the door? Compost heap? In 18 whatever? Other than that, most episodes focused on Pernell Roberts were probably the best ones in my opinion.

  24. They don’t need a faster gun sheriff he does his job better than any other sheriff but I will admit when I first saw him when I was first watching Bonanza I will admit that I didn’t like the sheriff that much that’s because I didn’t give him a chance but over time when I started watching Bonanza more and more I started to like the sheriff as the character

  26. I see way too many haters always dissing Roy coffee. Idk if it's because people are jealous, or police haters or what but imo America would be a whole lot better off if we had more Roy coffees

  27. Gotta love Bonanza. I don't think there are any moral TV shows left, and TV is such an influential form of media. Shows like Bonanza and Little House On The Prairie need to make a comeback. If you follow Jesus, you probably think the same. The eyes are the windows to the soul.

  35. I am a kind of person that i don't watch tv or movies. But Bonanza i can't stop watching since i was a kid. Classic and will remain forever.
