Memories of my Childhood
Sometimes, I just want to hug youtube tight and never let it go again...
Actually, is there anybody on my flist who used to watch the dubbed German version as well when they were kids? Because - I distinctively remember Joey calling "Fury!" during the intro and then the horse coming galloping down the slope, but I'm about 90% sure that we did not have that cheesy voice-over. Or maybe they just left it out in the later episodes?
That being said, I just had goosebumps watching that intro again after 20 years. So weird how much I remember the opening scenes given I was 5 or 6 at the time I watched it. I'd always wished they'd put it on a rerun over here...yay youtube. *puts dvds on her wishlist*

Am at work and can't listen to that right now, but I don't remember a voiceover either. Only Joey and his "Fury! Fury! Na, Fury, wie wäre es mit einem kleinen Ausritt? Hast du Lust?" and then this bit of music and then the episode started. But maybe the voiceover was so boring that I forgot?
I think my cousin might have the DVDs. I should ask her. She was really obsessed.
no subject
Oh, I was really obsessed as well :D
no subject
I can't remember something about "real men", though.
I can imagine they left that out, though.
no subject
I suppose they did. Also I just read that apparently they left out an episode because it contained a US military "Werbefilm"...
Also, Fury should meet Dief:
no subject
Interesting. But yeah, I can see why they would do that.
Everyone should meet Dief. :D
I will have to watch that vid at home, though.
no subject
If you watch this at home...this has a wee bit of the intro that I remember. Hm.
Maybe they changed it, because I remember Joey being older than he was in the first season.
(Excuse my rambling. It's just, I've been wondering for nearly twenty years whatever happened to Fury. I was ecstatic when I saw the DVDs released but you know...I then figured that watching it now might ruin my childhood memories. Going through the youtube vids now I think that I would still love it a lot. I mean, I squeed when I saw that shot of Fury and Joey...)

What?!? How?!? No, don't explain. You scare me sometimes.

So you probably saw the "new" episodes first? When we watched it the first time, there weren't all episodes out in Germany and not just the war/military one. I know at some summer break they promoted "new" ones, but that was when I had already picked up football, so I only saw those when it rained or in later re-runs when I wasn't outside. Joe was older there.
Yeah, watching kid shows on DVDs later is always a dangerous territory. But I remember my Dad still enjoying it when he watched with us, so I guess it would not ruin my childhood experiance either. Besides, I was not obsessed. ;)
no subject
NOTHING BAD! Just, in the pilot that I just watched Joey is an orphan constantly getting himself into trouble and then Jim offers him to live at the ranch and...

I think I've seen them all, really, but I guess that because I was so little the ones they aired last where those that stuck.

*nods* It best works when you never stop watching them in the first place :D

You mean SPN AU RPS (well, is there any that is not AU?)? Am I missing something? I think I lost you somewhere.
That might also be. Also, also, I just checked IMDB and apparently that one kid was Joey only for 13 episodes. Sadly there is no other listed, so maybe that is a mistake. This confuses me. Since it has been so long, I can't remember if there were two kids. I kind of want to rewatch now. ;p

But at one point you are watching too many shows and can never watch anything new again. ;p

Yeah, I checked that too and it confused me. Though if "Fury" only ran for 5 seasons it would explain why Joey always struck me as being much older...

Unless I drop the bad ones :P
Also...you might laugh at me, but out of curioustiy I watched the opening titles of "Black Beauty" because it was in the link list and... I started cryng a bit because I suddenly remembered that I loved this show when I was younger. And I had forgotten about that but as soon as I heard the theme I just...dunno...got so setimental my eyes watered. It just...was kind of like an epiphany. I dunno. I'm discovering pieces of my childhood, it appears.

But isn't that pretty much what we are doing now? Replacing older shows what we lose interest in with new ones in the hopes that they are better and then drop those again for yet newer ones when we realize they aren't?
Awww. I am not laughing at you. Though I don't remember "Black Beauty" as well as "Fury" and it would probably not bring tears to my eyes, I at least know the feeling. I just recently rewatched "Schlupp vom Grünen Stern" and was equally emotional.

That sounds like Augsburger Puppenkiste? I never was that a big fan of them because the dolls and their wooden expressions scared me :)
no subject
Yes, that is Augsburger Puppenkiste. I loved those. And Schlupp was especially cute.
It was my first sci-fi love. I ♥ robots. :D

Was, da gibbet einen Soundtrack von??
Ja--anscheinend wurde Fury auch 1997 nochmal wiederholt, aber wer kriegt das schon mit? Genau wie "Janna". Hm.
Black Beauty gibt es ja zumindest auf DVD, aber nur ohne deutsche Tonspur, Und die UK Version ist mir im Moment einen Tacken zu teuer :)

Dief would totally flirt with the ladies while Fury would have to work on the field. *gg*
And I also watched that other vid you posted up there and I can't remember that recap, though maybe it was on in the first few eps to catch people up?

There is a book? O_O

Funny thing is, the first thing I associate with summer vacation is "Fury", even after all these years.
Same here *nods* That and Saltkrokan.
And the Black Stallion books are down in the basement
Oh, I still got those too! And when I move, they'll be coming along :D I'm really tempted to buy both Black Beauty and Fury on DVD now :)
