Rights & source
- Basis: Published 1931-1963 with no copyright renewal found (renewal-record search cited below)
- Evidence: Copyright not renewed. Wikipedia 'Bonanza': a handful of early episodes fell into the US public domain - the last 14 episodes of Season 1 and the first 17 episodes of Season 2 (31 episodes). This is Season 1, Episode 24 (#24 overall), first aired 1960-02-27 on NBC. Internet Archive item marked Public Domain Mark 1.0. Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonanza
- Music: The Evans-Livingston 'Bonanza' theme is separately copyrighted (Wikipedia: PD releases replace it with generic western music). Checked 2026-10-12: no shared opening or closing title-music recording found across sampled episodes of this set, consistent with the theme having been removed; not verified frame-by-frame for every episode. David Rose incidental score falls with the episode.
