Bonanza

Bonanza is an NBC television Western series that ran from 1959 to 1973 Lasting 14 seasons and 431 episodes, it ranks as the second-longest-running western series (behind Gunsmoke), and within the top 10 longest-running, live-action American series. The show continues to air in syndication.

The show is set around the 1860s and it centers on the wealthy Cartwright family, who live in the area of Virginia City, Nevada, bordering Lake Tahoe. The series stars Lorne Greene, Dan Blocker, Michael Landon, Pernell Roberts (who left after six seasons), and later David Canary and Mitch Vogel.
