| Bonanza Not sure that this one needs much introduction! Bonanza chronicled the lives of the Cartwright family of the Ponderosa ranch in Nevada, near Virginia City, headed by patriarch Ben Cartwright. He had three sons, each by a different wife: the eldest was Adam; the second was Hoss ; the youngest was Little Joe. According to Wikipedia, "Bonanza" was considered an atypical western for its time, as the core of the storylines dealt with Ben and his three dissimilar sons, how they cared for one another, their neighbours and their land. |
