Review of Fury

Fury (1955–1960)
8/10
German DVD edition of 2007
28 January 2010
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.
