Plot Outline: The adventures of Ben Cartwright and his sons as they run and defend their ranch while helping the surrounding community.
Plot: The Cartwrights thousand-square-mile Ponderosa Ranch is located near Virginia City, Nevada, site of the Comstock Silver Lode, during and after the Civil War. Each of the sons was born to a different wife of Bens; none of the mothers is still alive. Adventures are typical western ones, with lots of personal relationships/problems thrown in as well.

Goofs: We know about 1 goofs. Here comes one of them:
Anachronisms: During the first season opening credits, the Cartwrights can be seen galloping on horses on a dirt road that contains an unmistakable set of tire tracks from the truck carrying the camera in front of them.

Trivia: There are 15 entries in the trivia list - like these:

• In the shows early episodes, the writers would typically have the Cartwrights being hostile to visitors to their property. Lorne Greene objected to this pointing out that with the Ponderosa being as large as it is, the Cartwrights would be an important business interest in the community. Thus visitors would naturally come for economic and political reasons as well as social ones and the Cartwrights would logically welcome them as such. The producers agreed and altered the premise of the characters accordingly.
• During the first season of the show, the guest stars were paid far more than the stars of the show because the producers didnt think that the stars were well-known enough to pull in viewers.
• When Dan Blocker died unexpectedly shortly before filming began for the final season, it was decided to have Hoss die too by having him killed in an accident. The opening episode, a two-hour special in which Little Joe marries only to see his bride die, was originally scripted to feature Hoss.
