Roberts hated Bonanza
Yes, it’s true. Roberts, who played Adam Cartwright, was not the biggest fan of the show. In fact, he said it not only glorified wealth, but was demeaning towards woman and overall, low brow humor. After pushing for changes in the script, he just left the show to join a theater company. The show said Adam went to sea to explain his absence.
