message: 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)

text: I can't say I know why it was removed, but trivia sections, while not forbidden, are discouraged on Wikipedia. If you believe information that appeared in that section benefits the article, you could add it back by incorporating it into the main article. Hope this helps!

text: I keep adding to the Legacy/Pop Culture section the fact that the 1991 movie "City Slickers" pays homage to Bonanza by having a scene where the City Slickers, now turned cowboys, bring in the heard and ride three abreast across a pasture dum-da-da-dumming the Bonanza theme and it keeps getting removed.  Does anybody know why?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.115.119.6 (talk) 20:51, 30 January 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: No, I'm sure we don't know why you keep adding barely relevant trivia to the article when it's been explained that trivia is discouraged. I've done a once-over of this section, and while I question the need for such a thing when it will inevitably become a cruft-dump, if it is to remain it must illustrate an actual legacy and not simply be a list of every minor incident in which a character mentions or parodies the show.

message: 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)

thread_title: Hoss' Hat?

message: 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)

message: 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)

message: 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)
