And once a week he kills a few people and nobody seems to mind.
He was a rancher, yet all the villains were always calling him a sod-buster.
I watch the re-runs. Saw two episodes where no one was shot.

That was so they could use footage of the character on horse back over and over.

I don't believe you

I remember one episode where he took a piece of scrap wood and made a stock for his pistol in the middle of a gun fight. I always laugh about that.

Very noticeable on
Bonanza. IIRC it was because episodes or parts of them were filmed out of sequence and they didn't want clothes changing in the middle of a scene.
