This is How Movies Should Be Made

That was an excellent one.

It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.

How wonderful it is to see this fine actress carry a film and carry it so beautifully.

"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.

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.

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.

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!
