Where To Watch
Can you guess which show the cast of Bonanza is on now?
I.D. these shows with guest spots as good as gold.
The talented cast of Bonanza appeared all over classic TV, and not just in the Western world.
After losing Dan Blocker, once Bonanza was over, the rest of the cast went on to star in their own shows, with Lorne Greene on Battlestar Galactica, Michael Landon on Little House on the Prairie and Pernell Roberts on Trapper John, M.D., but we're looking past the more obvious other roles to revisit all the other times we saw this cherished TV cast guest star on classic TV series.
Here, we've gathered images from some of our favorite guest roles the cast of Bonanza took on before and after their hit show. See if you can track the Cartwrights through TV history. Good luck!

10/11. Missed the David Canary one because I didn't look at the picture closely enough.
I missed that one too!! Got the rest of them right!

You got 10 out of 11
When it comes to tracking the Bonanza boys, there's no fooling you!

That's not entirely true. I goofed on the first question. I picked "CHEYENNE", but it was actually "WAGON TRAIN". Silly me.

Missed #6 and #9.

Missed #6 and #9.
9/11 missed 6,10
10/11 missed # 5
10/11. Missed # 6.
8 / 11
9/11 Missed 5&6.
10/11, I missed the one with Ray Teal. Blocker was in two episodes of "Gunsmoke", the other one he played a cavalry officer with a platoon chasing some Indians on the warpath.
Ray Teal was also on Alfred Hitchcock Presents, just not as the role in the question.
I got 11 of 11, I had to guess on a couple of them, and one I closed my eyes and picked the one my mouse landed on :)
8/11. I missed 4 and 5. 6 was a lucky guess. 3 was an educated guess. Pernell Roberts didn't start appearing without his toupee until about the time The Odd Couple began production, while the other two shows mentioned came earlier.
Correction. I got 9/11.
MeTV needs to rethink their headline for this one. Most of the cast is no longer with us, so there is no show that they're on now.
8/11.
