Then try imagining how it would look if SFPD Commissioner Stewart “Mac” McMillan were teamed up with Inspector Harry Callahan and Chief-Of-Detectives Robert Ironside?
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
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 blessed with a magic voice and incredible song writing material and product. He was meant to enhance the world with his singing so why did he die in a plane crash working on experimental flight? Such a waste of a God-given gift.
My Introduction to Mr Denver was when I purchased John Denver Greatest Hits Album 1973 , I was lived a Philadelphia boy I love with Mr Denver’s guitar songs
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!
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.
I haven't seen an episode of this show in several decades (until now). I always loved it when it originally aired, but one of the few specific episodes that I still remember is this one with John Denver. He was my favorite singer as a teenager.
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!
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
I loved John Denver too. I'm 53, and grew up in Virginia, and we sang all of the folk songs in the school auditorium, especially the popular John Denver songs! "Country Roads", "Thank God I'm a Country Boy", and others. Plus, I liked him when he starred in that movie with George Burns called, "Oh God". Did you see that? Yeah, I was very surprised when I heard about his death. Sad too. We took it for granted, thinking that he would always be here. So try to appreciate those you love, while they're still here, because we never know what tomorrow holds.
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!
Too bad that NBC screwed up by moving “BJ & THE BEAR” from its Saturday night time slot to Tuesday nights for the 3RD season, resulting in a loss in ratings to wanna be chef Jack Tripper.
Yes sir! The only reason I still watch CZcams is because I can watch the old school TV shows and the 'Made For TV Movies' that most of the time come with the commercials. I love the commercials.
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
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,
You are so right. The news is fake, and the shows are total utter rubbish, or repeats. I’d rather watch these tv shoes that did have good acting and brilliant storylines.
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.
Agree! I was also born in 1960 - we had a great childhood of awesome entertainment . Think of everything from our youth still going strong today: Star Wars, Star Trek, Mission Impossible, SpiderMan, SuperMan, etc. Not to mention recording artists like Cher, Dolly Parton and Paul McCartney! Or the TV and movie icons still with us : Carol Burnett, Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke. Those were the days, my friend!
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.
Willie Daniels it did for sure, as his reputation as a great emergence as a talented director was gathering momentum, he'd also directed an episode of the classic TV/drama detective Colombo, which had impressed Hollywood and then his big Hollywood break inevitably came.
Willie Daniels I was going to post that info. Good for you! I saw Duel on tv when It first aired and it terrorized me! It took me years to stop being afraid when I was driving in desolate roads in the West! That was the first time I heard the name Steven Spielberg and when I first heard he was filming Jaws, I couldn't wait. I still go to the theater for his films to support him. IHe's still one of my favorite directors!
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!
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!!
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.
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!
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.
What a terrific lineup of wonderful truly masculine men--just what good cowboys are made of. This show had all what's needed for true entertainment. A good script with all the necessities there for a good cowboy flick incluing theft, fights both with fists and guns, chases that include semis, cycles, trucks, horses and police cars. Very well done and very entertaining.
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
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!!!!
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 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 😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊
Imagine how it would look if Columbo and those guys were all teamed up private investigators such as Dan Tanna, Jim Rockford, Cal Calhoun, Stu Bailey, Frank Cannon, Harry Fox, Sr., Tom Lopaka, Rex Randolph, Barnaby Jones, Thomas Magnum, Harry McGraw, Joe Mannix, Harry Orwell, Matt Houston, Charlie Garrett, and even Nero Wolfe, among others for the purpose of taking on an assortment of bad guys who would also have to include Richard Bay, Assistant District Attorney for the City of Boston and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
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.
It’s just too bad that neither Chester, Quint, or Thad returned to help out in any of those “GUNSMOKE” reunion movies between 1988 and 1994. For example, in “GUNSMOKE: RETURN TO DODGE”, Dillon should have had Chester, Quint, and Thad backing him and Newly up in confronting Mannon who murdered Festus years before, and had now taken Kitty hostage.
“SMOKEY & THE BANDIT” was in 1977. Surely, Quint could possibly have returned in 1988 for “GUNSMOKE: RETURN TO DODGE” as well as 1989’s “GUNSMOKE: TO THE LAST APACHE”, 1991’s “GUNSMOKE: TO THE LAST MAN”, and the other two “GUNSMOKE” reunion movies, let alone 1991’s “THE GAMBLER: LUCK OF THE DRAW”.
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!
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.
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 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.
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 😎
Banacek was good until you realized there were only two solutions for every mystery: either whatever was missing was never there in the first place or it’s been there all along.
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!
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.
The whole cast was great! John and Dennis Weaver made a great team
Then try imagining how it would look if SFPD Commissioner Stewart “Mac” McMillan were teamed up with Inspector Harry Callahan and Chief-Of-Detectives Robert Ironside?

These old shows are better than the new shows.🤠👍💃🇺🇸 And that's a Fact Jack
Nope, that's an opinion Jack. I agree with your opinion but y'all need to learn the difference between an opinion and a fact.
Love Dennis Weaver and Claude Akins

RIP John Denver and Dennis Weaver !
Brilliant episode. Incredibly funny. Many laughs during this.
What a lineup of actors plus John Denver. Loved it.
Brilliant?? It's one of the worst episodes in the history of the series. The story had holes big enough to drive a Peterbuilt conventional through.
I remember my Saturday nights being filled with McLoud, Columbo, Kojack, Baretta..etc...Seems like yesterday.
Too bad that NBC screwed up by moving “BJ & THE BEAR” from its Saturday night time slot to Tuesday nights for the 3RD season, resulting in a loss in ratings to wanna be chef Jack Tripper.
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!
Holsteins, or Frisian herdbook cows.
I never knew that John Denver was on an episode of McCloud. I always loved Dennis Weaver.
Wow, this episode is really wonderful.
Ah, the good old days when tv shows were actually worth watching.

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
at least Mr. Denver's music lasted after his death. he was a great folk singer, in my opinion.
Yes, I certainly agree !!! He is a good singer and personable on screen too !!!
He was a great singer, period.
Claude Akins was the quintessential hard nosed character actor then
And his sidekick in a lot of flicks--Jack Elam.
Wow! John Denver and Farrah Fawcett? What a treat! This episode got a Writers Guild of America nomination for “Best episodic drama” in 1975.
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 must say Thanks for giving us the honor to be able to watch a lot of stars in these days gone by series.
Awesome! Thanks for posting. Love these shows. Hate the crap on tv today
I don't even HAVE a TV anymore; there's nothing worth watching.

1953 was even better.
Agree! I was also born in 1960 - we had a great childhood of awesome entertainment . Think of everything from our youth still going strong today: Star Wars, Star Trek, Mission Impossible, SpiderMan, SuperMan, etc. Not to mention recording artists like Cher, Dolly Parton and Paul McCartney!

Duel was a great movie!..I agree.
Duel was Steve Spielberg's first full length movie! That movie gave him the green light to do "Jaws!"
Willie Daniels it did for sure, as his reputation as a great emergence as a talented director was gathering momentum, he'd also directed an episode of the classic TV/drama detective Colombo, which had impressed Hollywood and then his big Hollywood break inevitably came.
Dennis Weaver will always be first and foremost "Chester", Marshall Dillion's (James Arness) sidekick which also took a special talent.

Truly an all-star episode!

John Denver and Colorado go hand in hand.
John Denver, Claude Akins, and singer Ed Ames is in this episode.
And to think that Akins and Denver are playing brothers-in-law in this episode.
Definitely.
Dennis Weaver AND John Denver together on one show!!! Whoooo Hoooo!!!!

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

On dirt roads. Sometimes we should just accept the storyline and forget about the practicallity of that storyline.
And milk cows to boot lol

For example, in “GUNSMOKE: RETURN TO DODGE”, Dillon should have had Chester, Quint, and Thad backing him and Newly up in confronting Mannon who murdered Festus years before, and had now taken Kitty hostage.
@@user-wi6sh6vh8u Quint was busy making Smokey & the Bandit then.
“SMOKEY & THE BANDIT” was in 1977.
Surely, Quint could possibly have returned in 1988 for “GUNSMOKE: RETURN TO DODGE” as well as 1989’s “GUNSMOKE: TO THE LAST APACHE”, 1991’s “GUNSMOKE: TO THE LAST MAN”, and the other two “GUNSMOKE” reunion movies, let alone 1991’s “THE GAMBLER: LUCK OF THE DRAW”.
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!
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!
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.
I like how McCloud is played for laughs much of the time.
Ty so much .
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
LOL Udderly ridiculous!
Byvhul
I know. And they had a man jump in the back of a closed in trailer.
City slickers too dumb too know! 🤣
maybe they believed the jingle... "milk does a body good " ???
Thank you good clean 📺
This show is so bloody cool I need no ice cubes 🥃🤠
John Denvers music is surprising ultralight and surprising down to earth
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.
Best !! I was born in66 this song tells the way to equality,and Divine prosperity 🇺🇸Douy,miss you
Yeah,,, it's so awesome...
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.
Great show
Weaver lived in Ridgway Colorado
On the Brady Bunch, they had a little cousin for a few episodes who looked exactly like John Denver.
Yeah i noticed that too
That same Actor was on BATTLESTAR GALACTICA about 1979 or 1980.
Yeah, John Denver was very trendy in the 70's.
yep!!"Cousin Oliver!"..
Farrah hitting on John Denver!
Oooh I remember!
This is the episode with John Deutschendorf Jr.
Far out!
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 😎
Banacek is another great show
Banacek was good until you realized there were only two solutions for every mystery: either whatever was missing was never there in the first place or it’s been there all along.
How about the Snoop Sisters?
Letting a prisoner smoke in jail? The crazy 70’s!
I think these good movie shows used to come on ABC on like Friday nights. Well that takes me back!
DENNIS WEAVER, CLAUDE AKINS, ED AMES, PATRICK WAYNE....AND JOHN DENVER. A PRETTY GOOD CAST.
You also had Farrah fawcett and Vic tayback
Wow what a cast
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!
I love this show
I miss tv show and movie s like this. Sad
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.
After 50 years I still adores McCould.
How about possibly Frank Cannon?
JOHN DENVER! :D
