Talk:The Life and Times of Grizzly Adams

Happy Gilmore: "Grizzly Adams did have a beard."

TV movies
In addition to the pilot, series and finale; IMDb lists another TV movies in which Haggerty starred as Grizzly Adams: IMDb has almost no other details. Does anybody know anything else about this last film? —MJBurrage • TALK  • 03:56, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

 * Found an answer on a BFI website, it was a recycled episode. —MJBurrage • TALK  • 13:36, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

Episode order
I am just watching these episodes, and it is evident that they were aired out of order. While many stand alone, one example is "Unwelcome Neighbor" (701, 1977 March 2), in which Adams first meets characters that he already knows in "Blood Brothers" (703, 1977 February 16). —MJBurrage(T•C) 18:27, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

Remake
I have removed a long uncited rumor about a remake starring Denys Volkov. If anyone does have a source for said film, please restore it (with the source cited). —MJBurrage(T•C) 16:35, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

Mormons
Why is it important that they employed mostly mormons? I'm removing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.73.120.5 (talk) 04:42, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

Difference between the movie and series.
The Capture of Grizzly Adams contradicted the plot of the original movie. In the original movie, his daughter found him in the woods after many years. She was a grown woman by then, and she told him that they had found the real murderer. Nevertheless, Grizzly Adams refused to return home because he had grown to enjoy life in the wilderness.97.73.64.144 (talk) 12:20, 2 June 2013 (UTC)

Number Seven Mad Jack's "Mule"
I believe that Number Seven was a donkey, not a mule as stated in the current Wikipedia article. Susan21869 (talk) 23:30, 5 February 2017 (UTC)Susan

Legend of the Wild
It is not a theatrical release of ″Once Upon a Starry Night″, but it was edited together with the first episode, ″Adam's Cub″, because Kristen Curry as Eliza stars in it. 2003:C5:8F05:C900:3598:747B:5720:326C (talk) 11:40, 15 August 2021 (UTC)

Was Denver Pyle in the movie?
I remember Denver Pyle's "Mad Jack" character from the TV series, but I don't remember him being in the original movie. However, it's been a long time since I've seen the original movie. Am I correct, or is my memory off? 71.219.194.121 (talk) 19:01, 17 March 2022 (UTC)

Muddled focus - split?
This article ranges wildly from the film to the series, muddling up the information and making it an unclear mess. Perhaps it should be split into two articles? At the very least, it needs to be structured to clearly delineate between the two. 98.13.3.175 (talk) 04:10, 12 August 2022 (UTC)


 * Agreed. I couldn't figure out what was the TV series and what was the film. I don't know enough about the subject to sort it myself. Hopefully someone will step forward. 46.33.133.115 (talk) 13:51, 13 September 2022 (UTC)

Why are the TV Credits Before the Movie Ones?
I hesitated to change them because I expect there must be a reason but it is confusing to find the credits for the 1977 TV show preceding those for the 1974 movie. If no one else knows of a reason for this order, I propose we reverse them. Czrisher (talk) 16:25, 30 January 2024 (UTC)
