Little Joe was the fastest gun, had the fastest paint horse named Cochise and was a lady's man.
And if he ever got into a fight with more then a couple of bad guys, Big Brother Hoss would clean up.
My favorite episode was the one with the "Leprechauns".

146.) Hoss and the Leprechauns
December 22, 1963
Written by: Robert Barron
Directed by: John Florea
In what is arguably the best comedy of the series, Hoss swears he has seen green elves running around the Ponderosa and a smooth-talking Irishman complicates matters even worse. Nels Nelson and Harry Monty played Munchkins in the classic “The Wizard Of Oz”.
Stunt Trivia: In the climax of act four, the Cartwrights versus the Leprechauns, has many chase scenes, all filmed separately for the final cut. Bill Clark doubles Ben as he chases one of the leprechauns and trips over him, going into a fall and roll, then is kicked by him. Lorne appears in a filmed close-up afterwards, and then cut to Adam chasing one of them. Henry Wills doubles Adam when he corners the little fellow, who runs between his legs, and pushes him by the buttocks into the fake cliff, with the black hat falling off. Pernell did his close-up, after his double did his scene for him, puts his hat back on and then cut to Joe chasing the little fellows. Mike does his complete acrobatic fall, with no stunt doubling, and Dan Blocker as Hoss, manages to do all his fight scenes with the little fellows quite well.
Location Scenes Filmed at: Lake Sherwood, Southern California.
