The beloved show Bonanza remains NBC’s longest-running Western and the second-longest-running Western series on U.S. network TV (second only to CBS’s Gunsmoke). Bonanza premiered in September 1959 and ended in January 1973. Most shows today are lucky to get a second or third season, so Bonanza’s 14 seasons are especially impressive.

The actor once revealed that although he loved his time on the show, he didn’t want it to last forever.

He explained: “It was the season finale of season two. There was a scene going on that was the last scene that would be shot for the season. I was on the side watching.
