Bonanza question...

[Judah]

OK. I have a VERY IMPORTANT, albeit slightly off-topic, question about
Bonanzas. I even googled it, and didn't find an answer...

My question is this:

Which came first?

The Beech Bonanza, or

The Lorne Green Bonanza?


And was there any influence either way between the two?

It's unlikely there was.

Beech was first by about 10 years.

But the word itself predates either of them...

Each of the three sons had a different mother.

The Beech dates to 1946-47, the NBC Lorne Green Bonanza in
1960s. The Beech is still going strong as the G36, except
for Pernel Roberts, the NBC Bonanza is just re-runs.

True. But sadly, I believe there may still be many more Lorne Green Bonanza
fans than there are Beech Bonanza fans...

This needs to be corrected.

Ahhh, if only money grew on trees!

There was the somewhat aviation Lorne Green in SpaceTrain,
er Battlestar Galactica. Perhaps Beech will redesign the
G36 Bonanza to have a slightly wider and taller cabin in the
rear seat area and a baggage compartment between the
firewall and cockpit. Made with their automatic carbon
fiber machine like they use to make the Premier jet. It
could cost a lot less, be faster and more useful.

If Beech came out with a BattleStar model, I would have to consider buying
one. But only if it plays the theme song, and includes the "Socializer" (I
think that's what they called her).

[Jim Macklin]

Yes, a socializer was correct. But maybe a younger version.

Actually, the term used was "socialator".

That's right. I guess I'll have to watch the re-runs on the
Sci-Fi channel. But Ms. Spang would have been a union
socialator but Ms. Jensen could have been a free-lancer.

That's "felgercarb." :)

I kinda had a thing for Rigel (as much as a 9 year old could have
a 'thing' for someone), played by Sarah Rush. She was the soft
spoken girl on the bridge who was always telling the Vipers to
"launch when ready."

I think they may have had feldercarb and felgercarb, but who
knows, I think they made up words as the filmed. Sort of a
version of Fubar and Snafu, everybody knows what they mean,
but it isn't one of the seven bad words.

Rigel, the Chloe O'Brian [24] of Battlestar, better known as
Wagon Train in Space or was it Ponderosa?
