Reviews

John T. Ryan 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!
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.
Fasman "The story of a horse, and the boy who loved him" was the narrative introduction to the show. Years before the Andy Griffith Show, Fury portrayed the relationship between a single father and his son. Fury even had its own version of Barney Fife in the character of Pete (the more than just) the hired hand played by William Fawcett. Episode plots were varied and included good guys and bad guys, occasional comic relief and every so often a possible romance for Jim. Like the Andy Griffith Show, many episodes concluded with a life's lesson learned by Jim and Joey. All in all a much more sophisticated series than most Saturday morning western fare of the day which included Roy Rogers, Sky King, and Annie Oakley.
mgressma 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
