Bakewell's relationship with the BC's board of directors was very comfortable and that allowed him the freedom to be innovative and creative. Next, he decided to immortalize and showcase the contributions of Black people and he instituted the "Pioneer Awards" dinner and the "Tribute Concert" Series.

Is this a recent show or has it been around for quite a while? The only character who resembles one of the "Bonanza" characters even somewhat is the one who plays Hoss. What's the story? Answer: "The Ponderosa" ran on the PAX network in 2001-02. Like many of the shows on that network, it was seriously budget- impaired, so the ranch was actually the producer's backyard.
