Good comments! think the writers and producers of BONANZA realized early on the problem of having the venerable Cartwrights jailed, so whenever they'd get in trouble, in was in a town far away (from Virginia City) where they were not known (at least by sight). Examples: "The Avenger," "The Gamble," "Hot Day for a Hanging," "Trouble Town," . . .

As far as the bright Ponderosa, I think the explanation is a practical one. BONANZA was (literally) pioneering new color film stock and in those days, the speed of the film was not great, so the cinematographer concluded lots of candle power was needed to see details in color. Today you have slower film speeds so you can see more detail with less light.
