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.

Absolutely brilliant show. Loved it as a child would love to see it again. It goes in the direction of Lassie - only with a horse instead of a dog and a slightly different time - in the west.

If I remember correctly - and it must have been about 18 years since I last saw the series -it was in black and white. Jim the good hearted-and looking uncle, the little boy and most importantly (for me) the horse which saves peoples lifes and understands your needs.

The true beginning of horseman-ship ?

Truly hope it will be available on DVD in the future and bring me back to my childhood.

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."

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!!!

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.

Even though "Fury" (1955-1960) was clearly aimed at entertaining the kiddies, I, for one, certainly found that this TV Western managed to hold my interest, as well (for the most part).

This series' premise revolves around a 12-year-old boy named Joey who befriends a beautiful, wild stallion whom he promptly names "Fury".

With "Fury" as his newly found pal, these 2 have all sorts of brave adventures together that take place in and around the Broken Wheel Ranch, which is owned and operated by the kind-hearted, Jim Newton (who is also Joey's pal, too).

FURY: When I was young, I watched FURY every Saturday. I got into trouble for watching it, instead of doing my chores, but it was the best show on TV. I would really like to see those shows come back to television. It would sure be pleasing for kids to watch instead of all the science-fiction violence that is shown now. Thanks for reminding me of better TV. Fury could have not been more inspiring to keep kids interested in staying at home,instead of running around getting into mischief, if it was a lock on the door. All my friends watched and if something exciting happened we would talk about it, Monday at school. Can we get some of the shows, back on TV, as reruns?

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.

Oh!!!! I loved it...."Fury...the story of a horse, and a boy who loved him" Anytime I talk with someone about old TV shows, this is the one I ask about. I don't often find people who loved this show like I did.

It was wonderful to read everybody's comments about it. I agree, this is a classic that should be run today. We do need more shows like this.

Funny, my husband just read a statistic to me about the percentage of American's who lived on farms swapping from 80% who did prior to WWII and down to 20% after that period. Today, I think it is 2%.

I dreamed of living on a farm since I was a little girl. I am sure this show was part of what fed that dream. We are currently building a house on 50 acres. I'm thrilled. My own Fury??? Maybe someday.

I got this for Mom because she would watch it on Saturday mornings growing up. Me, i can barely stand it but i hate kids. Only kids that don't annoy me are the little rascals. But i chug thru it because she remembers watching it. I give it a 1 star she gives it a 8 or 9.

As a child, I was a great fan of the Fury series also and was delighted to find in the mid 70's while living in LA, a local station ran the reruns on Saturday mornings. The tension of watching Fury rescue Joey never lost its appeal to me even as an adult. Was I the only fan who ate her beef stew and biscuits out of tin pie pans? I wanted so much to be a cowgirl. Probably had some influence to my moving to LA at the age of 21 and living near where many of the scenes of the 50's westerns were filmed. If anyone out there would like to start a petition for their public TV stations to resurrect the quality TV programs of the 50's, I will sign it. I doubt the alphabet stations are interested in people who are clothed. Let's bring back: "Maverick", "Sugarfoot", "Lawman" "Cheyenne" and of course, "Fury". Gosh, I loved that horse!

When I interviewed Bobby Diamond, one of the stars of Fury, I started to say that line, faltered, and he said, "Come on, you can get it." I finally got it out.

I remember the horse, Bobby Diamond, Peter Graves - I'm sure I never missed this show.

Diamond told me that Fury worked free - meaning that to get him to go this way or that, they didn't have to pull him with wires. Not only that, he would walk into the owner's house. What a horse.

He also told me that they filmed at a ranch where a lot of shows were done, and that Peter Graves once let him take his car and drive it around. I assume this was in the later years of the series. Diamond himself got a law degree and began practicing in 1971. He did in 2019.

How I love thinking back on these fun memories. Our TV lives were filled with RIn Tin Tin, Fury, Flicka, Lassie, Roy Rogers, Sgt. Preston of the Yukons, and tons of westerns. Wonderful times.

"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.

As a horse crazy little girl, Fury was my favorite show. I watched it in reruns in the Los Angeles area on Saturday mornings. In 1963, when I was seven, my parents gave me a Breyer horse, Fury, as a present, and I still have him, although the original paper saddle and aluminum bridle reins are gone. I was disappointed when the show disappeared and I haven't seen it in decades. After all these years, it isn't the humans I remember, but the gorgeous black horse.

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.

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.

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.

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!!!

Fury was a great show. I couldn't wait till it came on every Saturday morning. We need more shows like this now for the kids. Joey was an orphan that Jim Newton found in town one day fighting with another kid. He went to court with Joey, and convinced the judge to let him come and stay on the "Broken Wheel Ranch." Joey befriended Fury and was the only one who could ever ride him. The show had a lot of great adventures with the two, and the rest is history. We need this show back on in re-runs.

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 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.
