The Rebel: Season 1 Episode 1 - Johnny Yuma (Full Episode)

[@ladbol521]

Used to be my favorite TV show in the sixties. I never missed it of Friday night. It is great to watch this again after 60 years!

Haven't seen this since I was a kid. So good! I always wanted a Rebel hat like Johnny.

[@63DW89A]

With guest stars like Dan Blocker, Jeanette Nolan, Strother Martin and John Carradine, the show is going to be excellent. Superb writing by Andrew J. Fenady on this first episode. I've got the collector's edition of both seasons of "The Rebel". There is NOT a weak episode in both seasons, as all are exactly like this first episode, loaded with great character actors and outstanding writing, with superb directors and production. This truly was the "Golden Age" of American TV.

I loved Nick Adams in, “The Rebel”. I was one of the teens who loved him and watched the series. It’s hard to see lovable “Hoss”, playing such a dirty rascal in any role he acted in but he was such a great actor, he could play any role at all and do it very well. I remember ‘ the deputy’ (Strother Martin??), from numerous guest star shots on “Gunsmoke” with those wonderful people of Dodge City, Kansas; Matt Dillon, Chester Goode, Doc Gale Adams, Miss Kitty Russell, Festus Hagan and of course, Sam the bar keeper. I love watching the shows I watched as a kid and teen growing up. Sorry, I kind of veered away from the subject of Johnny Yuma, the Rebel!! All the oldies were great; i.e. “Shotgun Slade, Hop-a-long Cassidy, Roy Rogers, John Payne, Rory Calhoun.” There are so many of them. Sorry, I’m rambling again!👏🏼👏🏼👍🏼👍🏼💓💓

[@We_All_Seek_Truth]

This show is probably the best show of my life - since I was 4! I used to light up when it came on Sunday nights at 8:00. My brothers were already in junior high but I was just a tyke. Great memories! They were all good episodes, but this one is my favorite. Too bad it got cancelled. The network was afraid of the violence. They replaced it with the Steve Allen variety show or whatever. That hour-long show they were planning on upgrading this show to might've been interesting. It was to be called "The Rebel and The Yank" with James Drury as 'the yank'... "The Rebel was a ratings success for ABC, commanding a 35% share of the Sunday-evening audience in its time slot, and was actually scheduled to be renewed for a third season, as part of a new hour-long series entitled The Rebel and The Yank, which would have again starred Nick Adams as the Rebel, and future 'The Virginian' lead James Drury starring as 'the Yank', a former Union soldier working as a doctor in 'the South'. Despite the show's success, ABC decided to pass on the series due to two factors, first, its violence (at a time when the network was trying to withdraw from violent programming), and second, the network's new "counterprogramming" format, in which a different type of show was scheduled against the network competition in that time slot, such as a comedy or variety show against an action-adventure show. Thus, The Rebel was cancelled, 'The Rebel and The Yank' project never came to fruition. The series was replaced by a new variety show, starring Steve Allen. This program was not a success, lasting less than four months." [WIKIPEDIA, The Rebel] Once again, the network screwed up. 😠

Even though this show only lasted 2 years there were like 76 episodes. It was a victim of the trend away from westerns, trend towards 60 minute episodes, and attacks because of its violence from parents, teachers, and politicians.

[@unclemikeb]

Good example of how a few truly bad guys can terrorize a whole town. Average folks are not prone to violence so they shy away when what they should do is band together and deal with the creeps. Don't remember the title but I once read a book about a town being terrorized. A couple people had been killed which was just enough to put fear in the hearts of the others. Eventually, a few of them got mad enough to convince the town they had to execute the bad guys. It wasn't easy because good folks don't readily do such things. But with the sheriff dead there was no one to stand up and lead them. So, even though they were scared to death, they scrounged up enough guns to give them some courage. It wasn't brave but it was wise. They didn't call them out to the street like you see in western movies. They waited in ambush and fired at them from windows first story and second story. The bad guys never had a chance. It was murder, but it wasn't cold blooded, it was in defense of all that is fair and just. Sometimes that is what it takes to combat evil. It was a novel but it was based on real life events.

[@EconAdviser]

Just the movie High Noon retold, like every other TV western. Today, all the many, many spin offs of Cop dramas and the Marvel Universe just changed the setting and era. Same lawman mentality of black-and-white. Reality is Cops/Sheriffs are assigned to keep the poor minorities down and within their segregated ghettos so whites can be kept safe in their hi-paid city jobs before commuting back home to their their suburban towns and counties (without a dime of their taxes to help SOLVE any city problems of homelessness, crime, inner-city schools, gangs, addiction, or lack of affordable housing).

I can't believe an experienced soldier like Johnny Yuma would go into battle without first checking to see if his weapon was loaded.

[@lancew.dellshannon301]

There are many discrepancies to be found over the entire series, but they detract very little from the excellent writing, directing, and acting of the whole production. "Yellow Hair" episode has him being disarmed of his double barreled shotgun [and pistol] by Kiowas shortly after the story begins, then leaving on his horse as the episode concludes, without the shotgun on his horse or in his possession. Next episode he has it again. I notice many instances where extra pistols, rifles, ammunition, etc, even horses, are not collected, when these were precious items to have in the wild west. That's just Hollywood, including made-for-tv shows. What appreciate, despite these minor errors, is the overall attention to filming a good story, employing some later-to-become big stars [who would have guessed it?], and the fine acting of Nick Adams, in the lead role of Johnny Yuma. This was the beginning of the golden age of westerns.

[@63DW89A]

@Flash Kellam This is supposedly just after the Civil War ended in 1865. The gun Yuma is carrying is a Colt Richards-Mason cartridge conversion of the Colt 1860 Army .44. A gun that would not exist until 1871-72. It would have been more historically correct for the Colt 1860 to be still cap and ball in the time frame of this episode. But the replica arms market would not swing into high gear until the 1960's, as the Civil War Centennial arrived. Westerns and historical movies of the pre-1960's I cut a lot of slack on the guns because modern replicas weren't available. At least Yuma's gun is an 1860 Colt, so an effort was made, even if the cartridge conversion is incorrect!

[@bh8365]

I watched because I recognized Strother Martin in the thumbnail. Dan Blocker played the villain well.

[@rjmcallister1888]

And you thought Goodson/Todman just made game shows, and they made a lot of them; some are still on today. An excellent cast for a television show of that era; it was considered a downward step for movie actors to do TV, except possibly John Carradine's guest shot. One of a number of very good "Horse Operas" made in that era.
