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.

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

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.

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

I love this actor looking all over for hem

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.

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

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

[spikehofmann]

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

[chazjanousek]

What we got here is an awesome western series

[charlesbromberick]

a great series - thanks for the memories

[KennBurch]

Dan Blocker as the bad guy...never thought he'd play a role like that- scary good in it, too.

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."

Once again, the network screwed up. 😠

[brucer]

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

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

[glitchnyrmatrix]

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.
