These days, Taylor Sheridan is taking over TV with his hit neo-Western series Yellowstone.
The Kevin Costner-led drama, as well as its prequel series 1923 and 1883 have lassoed audiences' attention, though this Paramount universe wouldn't exist without the shows that came before it. Westerns once regularly dominated the box office, and many of the genre’s long-running TV series often topped the nightly ratings in decades past.
'Bonanza' One of the longest-running TV shows of all time, at its peak, Bonanza was also the number-one show on television. It ran on NBC from 1959 to 1973, when Western shows lost their vogue and were seen as stuffy and old-fashioned as cultural mores shifted. Starring Lorne Green as Ponderosa Ranch patriarch Ben Cartwright, Yellowstone’s complex inter-family drama seems to have lifted aspects of Bonanza’s premise.
