Bonanza / episode list

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is the list of episodes from Bonanza . The lineup provides an overview of all episodes of the American western television series Bonanza , which was produced in 14 seasons from 1959 to 1973. In the original US broadcast, the series had 430 episodes. In Germany there are 431 episodes, as the feature-length Forever episode was split into two episodes at the beginning of season 14. The episodes 105 and 327 have the same original title The Deserter , whereby episode 105 was never broadcast on German television and therefore has no German title. Some of the 13 episodes broadcast by ARD in Germany have other German titles. The episode 388 The Slave Camp was filmed in June 1968 for the 10th season and should be broadcast in September 1968. For political reasons in connection with the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy , the broadcast was postponed for three years as the penultimate episode of season 12. Therefore, in this episode of Season 12, Candy can be seen, who was no longer part of the cast at the time. He only returned to the 14th season.

Overview

A list of the German first broadcast dates is hardly possible because the seasons of the series were not completely broadcast in the original order. For example, broadcast data from the 1960s to the late 1990s can be found within the seasons. Some episodes have not yet run on German television.
