All good things must come to an end. Why was Bonanza cancelled?
Answer A main character died
One of the show's leads, Dan Blocker who played "Hoss," passed away of a pulmonary embolism in 1972 at the age of 43. The fan favorite's death was essentially the death of the series, as the character's absence caused the show's ratings to plummet.
