I would like to understand why this information about the show has been removed? Granted, a number of the references were obscure ones, however it's important to understand the impact this show (or any other TV program for that matter) has had on other aspects of TV, movies, etc. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.38.133.106 (talk) 15:08, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
Looks to me as if the "Legacy" section is almost the same thing as a trivia section.2602:306:BDC0:CF90:DA0:AF97:7C8A:D19 (talk) 18:24, 1 April 2016 (UTC)

Whether Dan Blocker's character's hat was "ten gallon" or not is debatable, it is simply an open-crown. Many more cowhands of the 1860's wore these or the Montana Peak than the smaller rolled brims. These didn't come out until later, and were far more popular in colder, rainy climates than Nevada. The smaller rolled brim hats are more mid-twentieth century. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.231.189.108 (talk) 17:32, 17 February 2010 (UTC)
According to an article I read many years ago, Blocker was looking in the wardrobe department of Paramount Pictures for a hat and spotted the open crown hat. The hat had been worn by Bob Hope in one of his movies (Paleface or Fancy Pants?). 2602:306:BDC0:CF90:7006:8714:F3B2:584E (talk) 20:29, 1 April 2016 (UTC)
Third sentence of first paragraph indicates that Bonanza "centers around ..." You can't center around anything. You can center on or you can revolve around.
The name is pushed so hard in ep 2 "He came here for his...BONANZA", "Many a man gets by, but few find a true...BONANZA" -- stuff like that 3 or 4 different times. Makes me wonder whether the pilot went out under a different name.
Moreover, in one of the DVD extras, Dortort states that he almost named the series "Pan-a-mint".
One way or the other, did the name somehow not settle down until episode 2? 209.172.23.164 (talk) 05:10, 25 June 2016 (UTC)
I have yet to 'nail down' the episode, but at one point, characters Dick, Tommy, and Harry are driving west to rescue Sally somewhere near the impending Super Bowl in San Diego. A shot of a USA map burns from a single point as does the map in the Bonanza opening sequence. Perhaps someone else might enter this before I find the details. - - RayBirks (talk) 14:32, 22 February 2019 (UTC)
I removed the reference to the show being in the top 10 longest-running US series by way of future-proofing. I'm not sure when the line was written but in recent years a number of series have equalled, are coming close to equalling, or have surpassed Bonanza's longevity (such as NCIS, Grey's Anatomy, Law and Order SVU, and so on). It's conceivable Bonanza might end up dropping off the Top 10 list if it hasn't already. 23skidoo (talk) 16:19, 4 January 2023 (UTC)
It might be interesting to add more information about the horses and other animals they used in the show, and how they had to be cared for. Then again, the article is already lengthy, so that info might not be necessary. It would be neat to see though.--FloatingLarGibbon (talk) 00:58, 4 March 2023 (UTC)
