* PurelyAestheticEra: A mild example. Although the show is classified as a western, it is actually set in the early to mid 1860s, the latest date in the show being around 1867. Most of the show is set during the Civil War years, the Civil War having ended in 1865. Traditionally, the Wild West/Old West era is deemed by historians to be between the end of the civil war and 1890 when the Census Bureau deemed the "frontier line" obsolete.

** Additionally, there was speculation in the summer of 1972, at least briefly, that Pernell Roberts would be coaxed back to ''Bonanza'' (following Dan Blocker's death), reprising the role of Adam Cartwright. That never came to pass (David Canary agreed to return as Candy, the supervisor of the Ponderosa's ranch hands), but one wonders what the ratings (and episode plots, especially with Michael Landon now essentially in charge) would have been had the original eldest Cartwright son returned from his extended trip to Australia.

Additionally, some sources indicated that the Season 14 episode "Forever" was available either as a stand-alone episode (such as to run as a "movie-of-the-week," by stations that did not air ''Bonanza'' reruns) or in addition to one of the two original syndication packages.\\

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: The original draft of "Forever" had Hoss undergo one hell of a BewareTheNiceOnes moment where he tracked down the killers of his fiancee. Thanks to the [[AuthorExistenceFailure Actor Existence Failure]] of Dan Blocker, the episode was revised so Joe would lose his new bride instead. The end result seems to have proven itself to be superior to the original draft, as ''Magazine/TVGuide'' named it one of the greatest television specials ever made in 1993, and the loss of Hoss added to the weight of the drama in the story.
