Bonanza
Bonanza was an American western which ran for 14 years. It's main characters were Ben Cartwright, Adam Cartwright, Hoss Cartwright, Little Joe Cartwright. They ran a ranch in Nevada called the Ponderosa and the sow focused on the main characters' actions. It was set in 1859 and took place during the Civil War. An important feature of the show was it's depiction of characters rather than their actions. Ben, the patriarch of the family, imparted a high standard of ethics upon his sons including that intolerance and bigotry were unacceptable, once a man had paid his debt to society in prison, he deserved a clean slate, and to be aware of their environment and consider land important. The concept of Bonanza was created so as to help boost color T.V sales. It is still syndicated today on the Ion channel.
