Of course Spotty DOG! What ever happened to him? Wasn't he usually the one who got up to no good?.........Speedy Gonzales, yeughh. Hoss and Little Joe wasn't it? I think they did a re-run of Bonanza (and the flaming map at the beginning?) - in Aus. a few years back. didn't the US try and re-vamp the series? And all the geneologists are probably thinking What the.....? But it's good history and a few of our ancestors would have remembered all of these far better than I !
