Fury In Your RV

Fury – The black stallion owned by Joey Clark of the Broken Wheel Ranch on the TV series "Fury" This was a favorite show with us kids on Saturday mornings a million years ago, sandwiched between Sky King and right after Captain Midnight, remember Ovalteen? Fun to watch these old shows (when you can find them) on a rainy day in your RV. When you watch them now they seem so "campy" but that's appropriate for this forum isn't it?

But did you know?

Fury, a contemporary western ran from 1955 -1960 with a 114 episodes. It was the story of Joey, an orphan boy befriended by Jim Newton (Peter Graves) a recently widowed horse rancher, who's wife and son were killed in an auto accident by a drunk driver. Joey was brought to court for breaking a window. Jim had seen the whole incident and went to court with Joey, he told the Judge that Joey was innocent, and convinced the Judge to let Joey come stay at the Broken Wheel.

Jim had captured Fury a wild stallion after three years of trying, and Pete his foreman named him during a conversation where Pete said the horse was full of "Fire and Fury." Joey soon made friends with Fury, and was the only person who was able to ride him after saving his life. Later Fury was known to let others ride him, but only with Fury's permission. Each episode took Joey and Fury to new adventures, along with his two pals Pee Wee and Packy. The show ran in syndication from 1960 until 1966 under the name "Brave Stallion."

Bobby Diamond played Joey on the TV series "Fury", The story of a horse and a boy who loves him. Bobby later went on to do guest appearances on other TV shows while still a young boy and had a couple of other roles in TV series. He attended U.S. Grant High School, in Van Nuys, CA. 1964.
