Bonanza
Bonanza was an American western/cowboy television program starring Lorne Greene, Michael Landon[?], Dan Blocker[?], Pernell Roberts[?], and Victor Sen Yung[?]. Its original run was from 1959 through 1973.
The show chronicled the weekly adventures of the Cartwright family, headed by patriarch Ben Cartwright[?] (Greene). He had three sons: Joseph or "Little Joe" (Landon); Adam (Roberts); and Eric, better known to viewers by his nickname of "Hoss" (Blocker). The family's cook was the Chinese immigrant Hop Sing (Sen Yung). The family lived on a ranch called "The Ponderosa", on the shore of Lake Tahoe in Nevada.
Following the program's cancellation it was brought back as several made-for-television movies. These include Bonanza: The Movie (1988), Back to Bonanza (1993), Bonanza: The Return (1993), Bonanza: Under Attack (1995), and Bonanza: The Next Generation (1995)
Bonanza also featured a memorable theme song that is often parodied.

My plan, on returning to
in a harbour on the north coast of the island, while we
shall pass many a little nook, shut up among the hills,
story; and the manner of life among the northern inhabitants
that of any other of the islanders. Moreover, scarcely
direction; and we shall have an opportunity of traversing
thousand square miles in disordered pyramids of ice and
devastated by deluges of molten stone and boiling mud,
cinders,--an unfinished corner of the universe, where
unbridled fury.
Our last stage from Thingvalla back to Reykjavik was got
distance than when we first performed it. We met a number
that is annually held in the little metropolis; and as
horsemen, wearily plodding over the stony waste in.
