Bonanza (1959) - 20 Hidden Facts Nobody Knows

Bonanza dominated American television for fourteen seasons, but the true story behind the Ponderosa has never been fully told. From a singing scene so embarrassing it nearly destroyed the show before episode one to the corporate reason NBC kept a ratings failure on the air, these twenty hidden facts reveal secrets that even die-hard fans have never heard. This documentary explores the fascinating behind-the-scenes history of television's first color Western, including the real reason the show was created, the physical illusions that made the Cartwright family believable, and the personal conflicts that threatened to tear the production apart. You'll discover why three of the four Cartwrights wore wigs, what happened when Lorne Greene's toupee floated to the surface during a water scene, and how Pernell Roberts walked away from a million dollars because he considered the show "junk television." The video also examines Bonanza's extraordinary cultural impact, from emptying the streets of Communist Poland during broadcasts to earning the viewership of Queen Elizabeth II and her children. At its peak, fifty-eight percent of all televisions in America were tuned to the Cartwrights on Sunday nights, a figure that seems almost impossible by modern standards. Key moments include the origin of the Ponderosa name, Dan Blocker's incredible toughness on set, and how his sudden death in 1972 made television history and effectively ended the series.
