I was just over at the IMDB and saw that Pernell Roberts has died at the age of 81.  He was best known for TV roles, being a regular in both Bonanza (as one of the original Cartwright family) and later as the lead in Trapper John, M.D.

As kids we always thought he was the coolest of the three sons, as he wore all black all the time. Made it special when he appeared; he was not as regular as Hoss or Little Joe (as that the correct original names...?)

[Rogmeister]

Yes, you got the names right.  Maybe when you were watching, you were watching the reruns and they mixed up the early episodes (with Adam) and the later ones without him?  The show lasted until Dan Blocker died...they wrote in the next season that Hoss had also died.  Due to that, the popularity of the show went down and that wound up being the series' final season.  But, of course, Michael Landon stayed in the past with his next series which also lasted a long time...Little House on the Prairie.
