"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.

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.

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.
