    Ketrivie It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.
    Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
    Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
    Isbel A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
    larrypinn When I was a young boy, this was my favorite western series. What I would really like to see is the whole series, '55 thru '60, available on DVD as many other series are. Perhaps the owners of the copyright could make this happen, I for one would be greatly appreciative. This could be a thought for the future. I would buy all five seasons. It is one of the best made western shows to be on television and would be great if today's youngsters could see all the episodes.A wonderful family show for the whole family to watch Jim Newton and his ranch buddies in their adventures on the ranch called The Broken Wheel Ranch with his side kick Pete and his adopted son Joey. There were many good co-stars as well. See what can be done to bring it out on DVD and thanks.
    thefensk This is posted as a tribute to the late Peter Graves. This show was a mainstay in the lives of many baby boomer's' formative years. They would never get away with the format today. Even less than ten years later the Batman series had to bow to societal paranoia and insert an invented "aunt" to temper the all unrelated male household. Three unrelated males on a remote ranch? Ah, but I digress, there was no hidden agenda or meaning here. It was as wholesome as the 1950s. Good clean moral stories. Fury rivaled even Lassie or Rin Tin Tin for animal brilliance. Peter Graves was memorable as Jim. For years I'd say, "oh -- that guy from Fury" whenever I saw him in something. It was a great show. I wish they would re-run it.
    suchenwi In reply to the many comments who asked for Fury to reappear on DVD, I just bought a German box-set yesterday (region 2, 4 DVDs in a spiffy wooden box, the first 24 episodes of season 1, 10 hours altogether), and for just 9.99 euro at MediaMarkt. A good deal, I'd say.Together with Lassie, Flipper, Bonanza etc., Fury was one of the TV serials that influenced my childhood in the 1960s, and I really enjoyed watching it again, after so many years (in the pilot episode, my eyes were full of tears from the emotion). Ah, and the period cars that show up for some seconds in many episodes..The sound on this edition is optionally German or English, no subtitles are offered. Picture quality is decent for black-and-white, aspect ration is 4:3 of course.I could fill all my evenings with re-experiencing old TV shows now - if it's not Fury, then the Flintstones, or the Rockford Files... I'm very happy that so much old material is available again, at very reasonable prices.
    bkoganbing This was one really great kid's show that was broadcast on Saturday morning during the late sixties before it ended its run. I remember it later was in syndication under the title of Brave Stallion. I've not seen it since it went off the air.My guess is because the episodes were done in black and white the syndication market for the show has dried up. That's a pity because if all it takes is color, where's Ted Turner and his crayons?I still remember the premise of the show. Jim Newton as played by Peter Graves lost his wife and son in a car crash. One day while in the big city he spots a young orphan kid named Joey Clark in some trouble. He goes to bat for him and pretty soon young Joey who was played by Bobby Diamond is living on the Broken Wheel Ranch along with Graves and his hired hand Pete Wilkie who was William Fawcett who was in the Gabby Hayes tradition of cowboy sidekicks. We're informed he cut his teeth on a branding iron. Diamond was a rebellious kid that first season, the show was all about straightening him out. But he adjusted pretty quickly as television series go. Of course part of it was the presence of Fury, a beautiful coal black stallion who only let Joey ride him. Rather than try and break him, Graves and Fawcett went with the flow.Some other semi-regulars came and went. The first couple of years Graves had a love interest in schoolteacher Ann Robinson. There was Ralph Seay as the sheriff who always popped in at the end of the show to take bad guys into custody after Fury had nearly stomped them to death. Diamond had Jimmy Baird as PeeWee as a friend.From the rebellious kid, young Diamond became a role model. He was the good influence on other troubled youngsters. In fact at one point Graves officially adopted him and he was henceforth referred to as Joey Newton and the fact he was adopted was never brought up. Something like the fact you never heard about the respective spouses of Robert Reed and Florence Henderson in The Brady Bunch.In the last couple of years a new family was brought in as neighbors as Diamond was getting older. It was the Lamberts and young Roger Mobley as Packy Lambert became Joey's friend. I think the producers had in mind to eventually have Fury belong to the Lamberts and continue the series. But it got canceled in 1960.There certainly have been far worse and few better kid's shows than Fury. Ted Turner get out your crayons and let's get this one back on the air.
