A Rose for Lotta

"I think this one deserves a 5 because it is so wonderfully over the top, kitschy even! Who doesn't love Bellowing Ben and Lecherous Hoss? Awesome!" - bunwhisper

"I give it a 4 - A great introduction to the family, with lots of western action - shootin', fightin', and kissin' - but the characters haven't fully become the Cartwrights we all know and love." - ellen

"Oh it gets a 5 from me...I just love it. The characters are larger than life and are a great introduction to the Cartwrights." - territell

"I gave it a 3.5. Not my favourite episode but at least it showed potential." - Dodo

"I vote a 5 as well for the same reason. Definitely over the top, but I think necessary at the time." - indyanna130

"I gave it a 3.5 - it's broad, campy and so far over the top that I sometimes cringe ("Velly solly" gets me every time), but it's actually got some decent structure to it (setting up Joe's umbrella duel by having the earlier scene with Joe and the epee) and it does make me laugh." - pjb

"5, again for the same reason." - Ginny

"This one is a 5 in my book for sure - I love watching how the characters were initially scripted - classic lines for sure!" - DonnaB

"I give it a five because you just have to love how protective the Cartwright's were of their land and of each other." - Adams_lover
