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!

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.

Good to hear Johnny Cash singing the anthem. I was 5 when this first aired.

Damn forgot how good these old shows were they sure packed a lot in a half hour...

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

I was just a wee lad when this show first aired. Me and my grandma used to watch it together on the old 17" black & white. Got some great pics with my rebel civil war cap and Have Gun will Travel pistol/holster. This brought back some very fond memories. Thanks for sharing this video.

Great series Excellent episode. I was about 5 years old when this series began

Strother Martin. Terrific actor. A movie-stealer. Loved him in Butch Cassidy, countless other roles.

a great series - thanks for the memories

"There comes a time to decide, where the courageous chooses and the coward steps aside"

Funny... I was about 10 years old when this show came out but I've remembered the theme song all these years. That has to be Johnny Cash singing it.

I can't believe Hoss Cartwright would do such a thing!

In my opinion I think the 50s and the 60s was a much better time, to have lived in.

After all these years I still remembered the words to the song😊😊😊another favorite was Branded.

What we got here is an awesome western series

I like Johnny Yuma's style.

I love this actor looking all over for hem

I loved this show as a kid. Sad what happened to him in real life. Died so young.

the only law was the hook and the draw....so good. What away to start a series....

How about that! The deputy is Strother Martin from the film "Cool Hand Luke", which begins with "What we've got here is failure to communicate."

Classic western

Awesome show

Good upload. Thanks.

'Hoss' & Strother Martin - who else is gonna show up!!

sung by johnny cash...... i knew i recognized that voice....dan blocker...and more ...

Great show

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!👏🏼👏🏼👍🏼👍🏼💓💓

I sure remember Johnny Yuma...

i recognized the woman too but didn't know her name, plus 1 of the writers -Fenaday- wrote for Combat! song sung by 'The man in black!!'

4:34 - Love watching punk bullies getting their comeuppance

Now thats how you handle bullys.you don't get even,you get ahead

born in 1950s.....this show was one of my favorites....black n white grainy television....

Que tiempos aquellos

I love old history of us states. 🏇🏆🏇

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. 😠

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

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

En mi niñez veía esta serie, salió después de MARCADO. Saludos desde Ambato, Ecuador 🇪🇨

saw enuf to buy the box set!! put up more Golden Age tv series eps!!

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.

Excelente...

It's the Hoss from Bonanza!

The Rebel blew up Hoss. I wouldn't be to hard on the Rebel. Maybe Hoss had it coming.

That was cool...so that's how he began to carry a sawed off shot gun.

Love me some Reb!

Hoss was not such a good guy back then. Not only did he give the Rebel trouble he also tangled with Palidin.

Bonita serie del oeste

Not bad I would have watched it

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.

Wife of John McIntyre. Wagon master of tv show Wagon Train

Amazing appearance before he was well known, Dan Blocker, "Hoss," of later Bonanza Fame!

*Am I the only one who recognized John Carridine playing the very same character he later used in **_Kung Fu?_*

Brother Hoss 💖

John Carradine??

The theme is sung by the one & only Johnny Cash

Never saw Dan Blocker play the "bad guy". Come on Hoose!!!

When young told 2 eat spudz and be big like hoss he died at 44

You got that right!

Dan Blocker! Off of the Ponderosa. 😄👏👍👍

Irvin Kershner directed The Empire Strikes Back (1980). I'm sure someone's cited that here.

They were actually only twenty something show,cause of cereal commercials lol

'Stagecoach'.....John Carradine....

The ads ruin it.

Strother Martin's real voice.

The Rebel - *****

Cosmo Kramer sent me here.

dan blocker,

ostia ya podía esta bonita serie en castellano o latno

Hey look, a young Hoss!

The landscape looks like Arizona, but he fought for the Confederacy? I guess he is "a rebel" and ran off as a teenager to join a far away war.

CHRIST loves you and died for you.Oeter

Hoss Cartwright is a villain????? Say it ain't so. I remember looking forward to each new episode of this program with baited tyke breath. And the " the Guns of Will Sonnet." Don't know if that's spelled right. But back in the 60s every other new show was some flavor of spaghetti western. But that was when "rebel" wasn't hate speech. It was just part of history. Don't have to like it. Don't have to hate it. Hating history doesn't change history.

Hmmm, no scalp'em today. And don't forget to look up old episodes of Combat

His poor horse! Damn I hate it when the animal dies and his was already dead in the first scene! 😭

At 9:12 that guy is fanning an1873 colt, historically incorrect since this is supposed to be 1868 .. Just saying, but great episodes of a great TV series ..!

If there were a Johnny Yuma statue somewhere I'm sure the Woke crazies would have torn it down by now.

John Carradine, great actor (and dad of Kung Fu star and also of Keith (singer and movie actor) plays the newspaper publisher. Jeannette Nolan (movie actress in The Real McCoys, 300+ TV appearances put many radio shows over 66 years (you name the TV show, she was once on it). Notice how Nick Adams was filmed from below because he was so short and tiny. Just a B movie actor (recall him from Doris Day - Rock Hudson movie where Rock tosses drunk Adams over his shoulder and carries him out. Notice how the Western morality imposed on America: strong, silent, virtuous, hide his feelings, humorless. That's was the burden of growing up male in the U.S. The only woman allowed in cast defends her man, ignored by everyone. That's how women raised in America of post WW2. No rights or opportunities.
