@@sawmaster6095 The earlier episodes when they were trying to figure out each actor's role weren't inspiring, but later episodes -which I've mostly seen since childhood- have core lessons on how to be your best overall; kind, trustworthy, loyal etc. & defend your principles regardless. Also, a few episodes directed by Michael Landon -which are usually the episodes I coincidentally like more without knowing till someone points them out- are unquestionably a notch above the regular episodes.

I have an uncomfortable theory about this wonderful series and Dan Blocker's early death, and that is that his 300+ pounds -- and the pressure on him to maintain that unhealthy weight -- is exactly what killed him at age 43. In fact, I'd say it's obvious, although he could have had numerous other issues unconnected to his weight. The point is that he would have been STRONGLY DISCOURAGED by everyone associated with the series, especially his bosses, from losing ANY of that weight, even if it put his life at risk. So he really sacrificed himself for his job in a way that very, very few actors, or any of us, are ever called upon to do. As I say, it's obvious, though I've never seen it said out loud.

Richard Chrisp It aired in April 1971 near the end of season 12. However, it was filmed in June 1968 for season 10 around the time of the Robert Kennedy assassination. Due to the real life turmoil happening in the country at the time, NBC deemed the episode too violent and grim to be broadcast in those circumstances and shelved it for nearly three years. This must have confused the audience because David Canary, the actor who played Candy, wasn’t even a part of the show by season 12. He had left after season 11 due to a salary dispute. No explanation was given as to why Candy was suddenly back with the Cartwrights. Ironically, after all the concern about violence, NBC finally decided to air the episode on April 4, 1971, the third anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr’s assassination.
