Back home in Scotland I used to eat my Readybrek (hot cereal) listening to the radio in the kitchen before school. John Denver was No. 1 in the charts in the UK then. Fond memories. X

The whole cast was great! John and Dennis Weaver made a great team

These old shows are better than the new shows.🤠👍💃🇺🇸 And that's a Fact Jack

February 1974. I was 17, now 64. John Denver was the love of my life. I was graduating high school that year. This was my favorite TV show. I loved horses but lived in the city. The first thing I did after graduating and on my own was get a horse. I still have horses and miss John Denver. Thanks for the memories.

John Denver was such a sweetheart even then! Fly high, John- Legend!

McCloud in his own backyard. Makes this among the best. John Denver was truly special.

RIP John Denver and Dennis Weaver !

John Denver!!! and Farrah Fawcett as a bar tart!!!! Be still my heart..AWESOME!!!

I remember being a kid (maybe about ten years old) and watching McCloud with my dad. Forty five years later, I still appreciate what a great show it was.

John Denver had just turned 30 years old when this was filmed and he was at the height of his popularity. I still go to sleep at night to his music every night. Fly high John..I'll always miss you! Glad I got to see you live in concert.Your legend will never die!

Brilliant episode. Incredibly funny. Many laughs during this. What a lineup of actors plus John Denver. Loved it.

2 seventies icons: Farrah and John Denver!

I never knew that John Denver was on an episode of McCloud. I always loved Dennis Weaver.

I still miss John Denver.

Wow, this episode is really wonderful.

Far out John ! R.i.P.- I'll always miss your great singing voice and laugh! Hope Heaven looks like Aspen,! Thanks for all the wonderful memories-flying high!

Wow! John Denver and Farrah Fawcett? What a treat! This episode got a Writers Guild of America nomination for “Best episodic drama” in 1975.

My dad's fav show used to watch it with him. I recognized Ed Ames, Claude Akins besides John Denver & Farrah Fawcett.

Claude Akins was the quintessential hard nosed character actor then

Now, here is some truly inspired 70s casting...John Denver and Farrah Fawcett in the same TV episode? And, the great Dennis Weaver as well...? This is what 70s TV was all about, imo. Nice to discover this, as a child of the 70s!

While I am scratching my head at rustling Holsteins, I am LOVING the fact that some of my favourite people are guest stars in this episode!

Ah, the good old days when tv shows were actually worth watching.

Growing up in Brooklyn, New York, I have always admire John Denver's Music It filled with sadness as well as serenity. I went to see him in two concerts. I was stationed at Butts Army Airfield. Ft Carson, Co. in 1976- 1980, and Mannheim, FRG in 1983-1986. I miss his music and the love of nature. he brought a sense of peace and happiness He was the best , may God rest his soul. When it's my turn to go, I hope that someday I can me him in spirit,

I love John Denver. He taught me to play guitar.. i cried for a very long time after he was killed. I couldn't sing along with him because i would start crying. He was very important to me growing up. The way he died shook me to the core.. He loved life so much. It showed in all his lyrics.. a one of a kind man. God rest his soul. Dennis Weaver went to high school with my mom in Joplin, Mo. Boy, did she have stories. Lol

Mom was always glued to the TV on Sunday night

I must say Thanks for giving us the honor to be able to watch a lot of stars in these days gone by series.

I remember my Saturday nights being filled with McLoud, Columbo, Kojack, Baretta..etc...Seems like yesterday.

I only have one thing to say about this old show I watched as a kid......................"far out"!

This was awesome! John Denver! I love this TV show. Nothing like it today. I wasn't born while this aired in the 70s. Well, the last 2 yrs... 75. I saw reruns in 80s and 90s as a teenager. Even got to see Fareah Fawcett's beautiful face in this episode! Thank you!

Thank You for sharing this great American movie. In those days they did know how to speak English and know how to entertain .

at least Mr. Denver's music lasted after his death. he was a great folk singer, in my opinion.

Wow I have only seen this McCloud episode with John Denver in it split up into six separate parts so cool to finally see it fully without clicking on one single video of the episode after another

John Denver was outstanding in the movie “Oh God”, costarring with the all time great legend: Mr Burns!!

At 33:30, frontier justice for cattle rustling in 1974 is the MOAW (Mother Of All Wedgies). In all seriousness, these old shows are way better than anything on TV/Netflix/etc.

Dennis Weaver AND John Denver together on one show!!! Whoooo Hoooo!!!!

I loved the scene of McCloud's chief in the bar, The Corral. Funny!

Awesome 👏 enjoying the show 🍿... takes me back to a better time and place... Thanks for sharing..!!

I once photographed Dennis Weaver at his house in Malibu perfect gentleman

God, I was only in 7th grade when this ep was made. My family and I would visit grandma on her farm every Sunday, and we'd all watch the Sunday Night Mystery Movie while at her home. I liked Columbo, but favored McCloud. It was funny when his boss would bitch at him.Vic Tayback...before Alice was created. I always liked Claude Akins. I always liked the theme of McCloud and also when the shadowy man held the flashlight. I remember this ep when new. These old shows are classics. I wish there were other eps of this show on You Tube. Another good thing about these old TV shows now days...you can bask for awhile in those simpler times before internet, smart phones, and computers. I am glad I was born 1960.

Awesome! Thanks for posting. Love these shows. Hate the crap on tv today

THIS IS CLASSIC!!!

The *irony*, watching *John Denver, 'show up' John Wayne's son Patrick. Literally saving him from a bad guy getting the drop on him! FAR OUT!*

I was a teenager when this programme came on British t.v. I'd not long discovered John Denver as a Singer...he had hits over here with 'Calypso' and 'Annies Song'(?)..so I was surprised to see him as an Actor in this. My Mother confessed she had a crush on Dennis Weaver....and as it was a few months before her 40th birthday and being 'skint'(broke) I wrote to his fan club requesting a signed picture for her.I had no post for quite some time so thought ID be dissappointed...however...the day before her birthday she received an unexpected envelope with U.S.A. stamps...containing a signed photo with a personal message n greeting. I thought " what a gentleman!". My Mother had a happy grin on her face f days n had his picture up on the wall f years! I liked him in the "unscripted" movie where he's in a car being persued by an 'unknown' lorry (truck) driver! Cant remember the name of the film (frustrating!)...but I thought it was a brilliantly put together example of how to use camera and sound effects to build drama, suspence and tension.At that time...technically directed excellently. Getting back to this series though....I thought the characters/acters were great and the stories were varied n interesting.A total escape from the everyday British lifestyle!

Epic! With John Denver!😁👍

Fond memories of my childhood watching this, and Dennis Weaver was a terrific actor, and one of his greatest performance's was in the classic movie ; DUEL a cat and mouse thriller where he is terrorised by a psychotic tanker lorry on a dusty road on the way to work. The actual terror and desperation weaver displays in his character is both believable and reflects a true realism .A great actor.

My father and i used to watch this show together, we loved it. He is gone now so watching this now is bitter sweet. Brought back lovely memories

Too cool. I had a pick-up that looked just like the one pulling the horse trailer! I bought mine in Virginia as a used one - 6 months old! It was a 1970 3/4 ton rear wheel drive - loved that truck!

DENNIS WEAVER, CLAUDE AKINS, ED AMES, PATRICK WAYNE....AND JOHN DENVER. A PRETTY GOOD CAST.

this cracks me up. 25 head of cattle, butchered in 25 minutes in the back of a moving semi watch your fingers!

great show!!!it ended when i was only 6 but i still love it!!dennis weaver is a legend!!and this episode has other legends like claude akins and john denver!!

FAR OUT ! I remember watching this show with my family when I was 3rd grader in Japan. Why cannot we find American programs like this anymore

John Denver and Colorado go hand in hand.

Great episode, thanks for sharing. Only complaint....Southern Cali makes a poor substitute for Colorado!

Love John Denver And Dennis Weaver :)

Oooh I remember! This is the episode with John Deutschendorf Jr. Far out!

One of my top favorite episodes, and one of the FUNNIEST. "Why are you calling collect?" "They only let you make a LOCAL call for free." After more than 50 years, the 1st season is FINALLY available in its original format (6 one-hour episodes) as part of the COMPLETE SERIES box on DVD!!! I swear they were waiting until they could find the 1st season (which Universal re-edited and then lost the originals of) before putting the rest of the show out. I am now watching McCLOUD, COLUMBO and McMILLAN & WIFE-- in the order they were broadcast! I just love all the NBC Mystery Movie series.

I have to agree the old show are so much better then the ones that they show now, LOVE McCould,Kojack, Baretta,Columbo ,and a lot more thanks for showing the old show 😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊

Thanks for uploading this episode.

For awhile I couldn't get past Dennis Weaver being Chester but........ McCloud and his "barnyard bromides" ------GREAT!!!!

Best !! I was born in66 this song tells the way to equality,and Divine prosperity 🇺🇸Douy,miss you

My first memories of McCloud was when it was on my fathers old CRT TV in 1971. I was just 8 years old back then and could barely make out the picture on our TV because it was so snowy due to my fathers lack of a proper TV aerial. Then in 2001 I saw it again on UK satellite television channel Granada plus, along with other classic US TV shows of the period like Kojak, Cannon, Hawaii-5-0, Columbo, Rockford files and so on.

Just found this and streaming through my TV Brings back memories of my youth watching it Top show Thank you Mesessa In the words of Deputy Sam McCloud There you go

Loved this series... Thanks 🙏🏻 for sharing...!!

I Guess He'd Rather Be In Colorado, I remember that song being sung by Merle Haggard in the mini series "Centennial." It's a hauntingly beautiful song. Makes you want to go into the mountains and never come out.

Damn sure loved seeing the ole IH Transtar cabover😉

Thanks for posting this. I was super young when this was on tv but I sure do miss good tv. Most of the stuff, on tv today, is complete crap!

thank you for posting this. please don't stop to share john's video im so happy to watch that :DD

Such good memories! Thanks for sharing this.

thank you i was a jihn denver fan in the u.k when this was shown and he was unknown largely here.missed this been trying to see it for years

A lot of humor in this episode and it was great Dennis Weaver never better I always liked him and John Denver beautiful songs especially about Colorado, particularly Rocky Mountain High it always gets to me.

I nearly died laughing with Chief Clifford tried to control the horse!

that guy who plays McCloud's superior officer always reminds me of Rip Torn.

Nice to see Ed Ames and Patrick Wayne along with John Denver in a quasi-western. Nice vehicle to hear John Denver's singing. Sure wish they had the opening theme for this show. I love watching McCloud (Dennis Weaver) riding his horse through the New York City street (though it's really bad for the horse). As for Farah Fawcett, just eye candy. Nice to see Chief of Detectives Peter B. Clifford and Sergeant Joe Broadhurst in the saddle for a change.

I'm getting a total charge out of the fact that they are rustling milk cows. Perhaps the beef cows were on strike? Excellent nonetheless

What a great episode filled with the remarkable regular cast with the leader of the helm a cowboy policeman in NYC. Dennis Weaver is SO perfect in his portrayal of McCloud. To add Claude Akins who can play many different characters was a plus. Add yhe man who written and recorded some of the most beautiful songs made this episode that much more enjoyable. Too bad there was not more of him singing. Lots of action, police of all sorts and a bag of different bad guys combined with an amazing script made this program very enjoyable and entertaining--one yhe whole family could watch together. Kudos to all who worked to air McCloud ori- gnarly and those who helped preserve and bring the series to a new generation. THANK YOU!!!!

It was a pleasant surprise seeing John Denver as one of those Deputies that stop the bad guy with the righed gun

Dennis Weaver got his debut acting on Gunsmoke as Matt Dillon's Deputy.

thank you not always easy to find full episodes of this show.........

I miss tv show and movie s like this. Sad

After 50 years I still adores McCould.

Farrah hitting on John Denver!

I think these good movie shows used to come on ABC on like Friday nights. Well that takes me back!

John Denvers music is surprising ultralight and surprising down to earth

This show is so bloody cool I need no ice cubes 🥃🤠

McCould is originally 75 minutes. This version is 69.5 minutes, so obviously taped from recent TV. All the great 60s & 70s shows are chopped down to make room for more commercials. Watching it... the plot is rushed b/c of the chopped out scenes. Still, better than anything on TV today.

The soothing voice of the late John Denver.

Great Episode,Loved the show

Wow what a cast

Every time I see Dennis Weaver's face I think of Chester.

I watched the Sunday Night Mystery when new, and I recall this ep. I was 13 when this ep was made. John Denver was good in this, he should have been in other such shows. Claude Akins was always good in movies and shows,too.

I like how McCloud is played for laughs much of the time.

Fitting that the location was Colorado. John Denver was born in Roswell, NM and an Air Force Brat. Dennis Weaver was born June 4, 1924, in Joplin, Missouri. Both of them fell in love with Colorado and lived there for a part of their lives. Weaver died in Ridgway, CO and was cremated and ashes were given to family. Denver died in California and was cremated. His ashes were scattered over the Rockies of Colorado.

I don't know where this was filmed, but both Dennis Weaver and John Denver had connections to Colorado. Weaver had a home called "earthship" built there and was an avid supporter of ecology.

Letting a prisoner smoke in jail? The crazy 70’s!

Yeah,,, it's so awesome...

I was on to that raise-hands-and-shoot trick since I saw a particular Naked City episode about a former German Nazi hiding out. Nice to see Farrah.

I remember this episode when new.Myself and my family never missed the Sunday Night Mystery Movie.Alot of famous tv stars guest starred on these eps.John Denver sure looks young. I liked the theme music of McCloud, and preferred him over Columbo and McMillan.Hec Ramsey was also a part of it, but he was only on one season.It was like a western, took place during 1900.McCloud had some funny scenes, his boss would bitch at him alot.Remember when 1970's detective shows had that jazzy muzak in the background? Current detective shows have no background music that I know of, and I don't include Miami Vice...that was a different type of crime drama with current hits.I liked the music and intro of the Sunday Night Mystery movie, with that flashlight and whistling sounding music.Good times!

On the Brady Bunch, they had a little cousin for a few episodes who looked exactly like John Denver.

Dat son a gun is wearin my boots!! Dingo square toe harness boots . Best dance boots ever made!

My family use to love the Mystery Movie. McCloud, Colombo, and McMillan and Beard. At 12 I wanted to be McCloud and show McMillan's wife what a real man was like 😎
