Bonanza (1959 - 1973)
The Cartwrights are righteous, hard working and well respected. They work from early in the morning until they sit down for dinner, eating meat and potatoes. Under the scorching sun they meet problems like racism, Indians, outlaws, and every other imaginable hardship that comes with surviving in the wild west. Great entertainment. A TV-series like this will never be made again. Famous directors such as Robert Altman and John Cassavetes were among the many who stood behind the camera on various episodes. The series also featured many great actors through the years, including: James Coburn, Jack Lord, Adam West and Leonard Nimoy.
