Fury

This was my favorite television show back during the time that it was on. I was approaching my teens and its western location and various adventures appealed to my own sense of and desire for adventure.

Alas, I have not seen it since it went off the air. In other words I have never seen any reruns; I don't know for sure if there ever have been any reruns. I fear that the reels of film may have been lost. But if they are still available, and if a person with the capability to put this show back on the air as reruns happens to read this, please do so. Thank you.

What a wonderful show Fury was. I remember watching it as a child every Saturday morning on NBC. I watched it for years, collected Fury memorabilia and still have some. This was a favorite show of mine. That horse was smart, all right. I even did research on what happened to him---died in 1972, age 29, and lived a glorious life--better than most humans, that's for sure. But the show was more than just about a horse. It was essentially the story of America, the modern American west and values. If values are so important today, why isn't Fury rerun. It really should be. I don't know who owns the tapes, but it should be investigated and put back on Nick at Nite or TV Land. It was and remains a classic. What a horse!!!

I LOVED THIS SHOW!! Sure would be nice to see it on television again! Fury is much like "Lassie", except with a boy and his wild stallion horse instead of a dog. The show deals with a lot of morals of what choices the characters make in their every day life situations. A "MUST" see if you are into excitement and adventure!!!

These are for the most part really good shows. They teach values which isn't done much these days in kids' shows. Safe for anyone to watch...And interesting too. For some reason, I liked Graves in this series more than 'The Rifleman'.

The pilot episode starts off with the kid Joey (B. Diamond) getting into trouble and Jim Newton (P. Graves) taking him home to the Broken Wheel ranch. Joey then encounters Fury...and the adventures begin.

Some of my episodes show Joey as a small boy, and later ones show him older with a buddy, PeeWee, with whom he gets into many adventures. Sometimes they get involved with crooks. And sometimes it's more of a dramatic episode...like cheating at gokart races. And, of course, Fury usually takes a hand somehow...one smart horse there eh.

For some reason my kids don't care to watch these shows. Although they seemed to like Sergeant Preston (another good oldie). Maybe it's the black and white syndrome. Also, the episodes on tape are pretty bad quality and the 16mm films are full of splices. As another reviewer mentioned, I'd really like to see this series on DVD.

If you can find this series, it's definitely worth your time. If you liked stuff like Lassie, Sergeant Preston of the Yukon, Rin Tin Tin and the like, you should have a go at this.

I can still remember the Saturday I tuned in for the show and finding cartoons instead, back then things were not publicized as today and it took a few weeks before I realized it was gone. I don't know why it was taken off, every boy I knew watched it. It was a time when programming changed from action shows like Fury to cartoons on Saturday. It was a little corny but taught moral values, something missing in today's viewing. I wish some channel would pick it up.
