How many of you remember the Bonanza episode

When an actor passes away unexpectedly, it deeply impacts not just the show they were part of, but also the hearts of those who loved their work. This was especially true after the loss of Dan Blocker, whose presence filled both the screen and the hearts of his audience.

There are various ways to address such a loss on screen. Some shows dedicate an episode to honor the actor, while others incorporate the character’s death into the storyline. Alternatively, some opt for a lighter approach, letting the character move on to new adventures off-screen. However, ignoring the loss altogether often disappoints viewers. In the case of Bonanza, the absence of Dan Blocker, known for his iconic role as Hoss Cartwright, created a noticeable divide in the series. Despite only one season without him, his presence was sorely missed, even acknowledged by the characters on screen. Michael Landon, who portrayed Little Joe Cartwright, was tasked with adjusting the script for the first episode after Blocker’s passing.
