DURING THIS SAME era we had LASSIE, the story of a Collie in contemporary rural U.S.A. and his boy owner, RIN TIN TIN, the story of a German Shepherd in the old West and his Cavalry Mascot boy owner; but this topped them! For FURY was described in the opening as "the story of a Horse and the Boy who loved him." THIS HAD TO be tops! Hell man, we all had Dogs; but to share a half hour with a kid who had a Horse! Why even the neighborhood spoiled brat, Junior Barnes didn't have a Horse! EVERY SAYTURDAY MORNING we religiously gathered around the old B & W Dumont TV Set to join in the goings-on at the Newton Ranch as Joey (Bobby Diamond), adopted son of Jim Newton (Peter Graves*), rancher, found a half hour's worth of trouble and escape. Joey was joined by 'Pee-Wee' (Jimmy Baird), 'Packy' (Roger Mobley) and some other local kids as they raced around town and country; all the while knowing that whatever the problem, Fury would be along to save the day.PERHAPS WE SEEM to be a trifle harsh and overcritical; but, nothing could be further from the truth. Fury was a favourite, not only in our house, but apparently in most American homes.FOR, AFTER ALL, we had FURY on NBC Saturday mornings for a full 5 years! NOTE: * Yes, the future Mr. Phelps of MISSION IMPOSSIBLE and it was only about a year after his outstanding of traitor Price in STALAG 17. Oh well, we all got to eat!

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.

It's funny, I had completely forgotten the name of the show, but I remember watching "Fury" on Saturday mornings as a kid. I knew it starred Peter Graves, so it was easy using IMDb to find the name of the show. The only episode I can remember off-hand is one where an aunt comes to the Broken Wheel to live, and one day while the men were out, she cleans up the house and re-decorates with white curtains and table cloths and such, so that when the guys return, it's completely unrecognizable! They think they're in the wrong house. Well, gotta go, Bugs Bunny is on and then "Sky King."Mike Gressman

I vaguely remember this series as a kid and had totally forgotten about it. The other day, I bought a DVD set called "TV's Lost Show Collection" (from Diamond Entertainment) and two episodes of Fury are in it. I bought the DVD at a drugstore, but you may be able to find it on Ebay or Amazon.com.The episode I watched was was called "The Search for Joey". Joey was bitten by a rabid dog. He and his friend then got lost in the woods. It was imperative for Jim and the doctor to find him to give him his shot within 24 hours. Fury to the rescue! Joey has a friend in this episode (Ken Osmond)who was more famously known as Leave It To Beaver's Eddie Haskell. Osmond was about 12 or 13 when he appeared on Fury. This episode of Fury first aired on February 18, 1956.
