Bonanza

L’histoire

La série se déroule à la fin du XIXe siècle (après la guerre de Sécession) dans une petite ville (née lors du Gold Rush, La ruée vers l'Or) du Nevada, Virginia City, et dans le ranch de la famille Cartwright, le Ponderosa situé en périphérie. La famille est formée d'un veuf, Ben Cartwright, et des trois fils qu'il a eus de trois mariages différents. L'action, comme celle de la plupart des séries télévisées western4, est déclenchée par l'arrivée de visiteurs venus de l'extérieur, « qui viennent troubler l'harmonie organique du ranch et de la ville »5, et résolue par l'intervention d'au moins l'un de ses membres (épisode à référencer) ou, le plus souvent, par l'action de la famille Cartwright au grand complet. La seule source de tensions internes est la façon dont les habitants de Virginia City, définis comme de braves gens, sont susceptibles de céder au mal, contrairement aux Cartwright, moralement intègres.
