Can't get enough of that Jack Marshall theme. What a way to wipe away the cobwebs of time, and remember early childhood memories discovering the tube with the clean slate mind of a kid
What a great guitarist ! Hope you know of Danny Gatton.... We lost him way too Early. They're all in Guitar Heaven..... Be well All...
Henry Fonda was a great actor especially in western films!
Grapes of Wrath and 12 Angry Men maybe his best 2 and non westerns. But he sure did a lot of westerns. I liked Welcome to Hard Times.
One very very good western tv 📺📺📺📺series ⭐
Nice to see Dennis Holmes .Thanks for posting.
Glad I missed this.when it was on tv.
Jack Marshall is what stands out for me. The Jazz Guitarist who Composed n played the Theme and all music... Happy to Discover the Unsung Great. Thanks to Grit TV channel for bringing this Series to Light for us. At least to me !
I bet Danny Gatton and Les Paul and many others are Jamming right now in Guitar Heaven....
Jazz has no place in a western. It makes it unwatchable.
It's jazz guitarist Howard Roberts playing the hot licks. Jack Marshall was HR's producer.
It's still out of place in a western!
@@ricktaylor5744 Suit yourself -- we're talking about 2 legendary musicians here!
Good music is good music, no matter where it is. Kinda refreshing not to have the same old thing. I got awfully tired of Westerns as a child growing up in the late 50s and early 60s. I actually appreciate them more now.
Listen carefully and there's some great guitaring in the music...
I love watching these ancient Wild West shows; that electric guitar playing jazz is so strange though!
I thought it sucked, for the movie...
Awesome western
@@hikeoganessian1482 I agree, totally out of context.
I agree about the music. Doesn't really fit.
HENRY FONDA , ONE OF THE TRUE HOLLYWOID ICONS ALONG WITH THE LIKES OF RICHARD WIDMARK, KIRK DOUGLAS,BURT LANCASTER, JAMES STEWART AND JOHN WAYNE.
GOOD THING YOU USED ALL CAPITAL LETTERS. OTHERWISE PEOPLE WOULDN'T TAKE YOU SERIOUSLY.

I take that comment about all capitals was intended to be a snide remark. Personally I liked that it was all in caps. 😅😅😅😅
@@winonamassingill7895 See? In a free country, which most people nowadays take for granted, you're free to LIKE or DISLIKE whatever you want!
Norma Crane was a great actress. A sad loss far too young. ❤️❤️🙏🙏
Remarkably, Norman Lear is still around. Only 17 years older than Henry Fonda was. They were both born while Wyatt Earp still roamed Los Angeles. Time is funny that way.
Norma Crane had a distinguished acting career, but alas died in 1973 aged only 45 years. What a lovely looking woman.
She was sadly taken from Breast Cancer at such an early age, Back in the 70's the Meds were not perfected like they are today may she RIP
Well past her prime.

It's interesting to hear jazz music as background for a western show.
Thank you for posting this! For years I thought I must have dreamed this up. The idea that Henry Fonda, BIG movie star had a tv show! Ha! I have been telling my friends who were not TV-cowboy savvy about this show, but I got the title mixed up with the Lawman! I remember watching this show with my family, but the ONLY episode I remember, and only a few seconds at that, was when the store keeper had a bunch of bananas hanging outside the store. He explained what they were to Simon Fry and told him they were a nickle a piece. LOL Simon Fry responded that he couldn't afford to like something that cost that much...or something to that effect. I still use that line on people who try to get me to try something different (that I know I don't want). Thanks again.
Henry Fonda on TV in 1961? one of the biggest stars of all time? unbelievable.
I didn't like Henry Fonda mainly because of his personal life. I don't think that he was a very nice man. Plus because of his daughter Jayne Fonda. Perhaps he had nothing to do with her disgusting life but anyway that's just the way I feel about both he and her. 😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
@winonamassingill7895 I'm judging the actor's talent. He is one of the greatest actors of all time and in the top three western actors. I bet you like John Wayne despite the fact that he dodged the draft, right?
Great western
Classic western
that's one strong woman. she lifted that tree and dragged it into town.
Dig that crazy, jazzy music.
Tate is the name of the show you are looking for. It was only on one season and I have been enjoying every episode. Tate Comanche Scalps is an episode I just watched with Leonard Nimoy and Robert Redford as side actors.
"TATE" was (half of) the 1960 summer replacement for "PERRY COMO'S KRAFT MUSIC HALL" {produced by his "Roncom" company}. 13 episodes were produced.
Thanks for uploading
Great older western program.
I understand Henry Fonda shot 90% of his scenes early in the shooting schedule, only returning for a week later in the season for corrections, script and continuity issues. This was like what Fred MacMurray did on "My Three Sons."
+King Bee You are correct. In fact MacMurray got the idea from Fonda.
@@actionsub But Fonda got the idea from ME.
@@actionsub Fonda repeated that idea with The Smith Family while at Don Fedderson productions
Waaaaahoo! Thank you for posting this gem. I remember the theme song and after all this time, it is etched in my mind. (Today is my birthday, but I am not telling my age, LOLOLOLOLOLOL).
Love this show watch every day
Back in day,, something,, special, to watch,,on,, TV all,, great,,action show,, still watch on TV,,that,, good,, still play,it,,all this, show are,, still great,, know, ⭐,,are,, gone thanks for it,, never, be forgot thanks again
Love the guitar jazz riffs!
Jack Marshall's specialty.
@@fromthesidelines Howard Roberts plays the hot licks
I see. A Marshall protege, no doubt. 😉
Groovy sounds, man. Excellent, thanks for the memories.
Funny how this house wasn't occupied after all this time.
Good show thank you
The music in Shotgun Slade is pure Jazz I forgot that I actually liked the music in The Deputy Funny not too long after Clint Eastwood’s Spaghetti Westerns will use very unique music
There were westerns all over prime time when this first aired. Fonda drew in viewers but couldn't keep it on the air.
It's because of the theme music. Totally out of place,in a western theme. The director should have been fired. Not that I have any thing against jazz. it simply doesn't fit.
thanks
The Deputy was Co-created by Norman Lear the man who created of All in The Family, Jeffersons, Maude and Good Times. R.I.P.
Normal Lear? You just poisoned this program
for me.
Yes the music does suck...Use to watch this show on TV ...that Henry Fonda was the star is the most I remember now...Good to see it again...Thanks...
@Terry Blanton actually fonda was a marshal but your right about the rest
Norma Crane also played Golda in the film "Fiddler On The Roof." Died of breast cancer at age 44 two years after that film's release.
The main title sequence is from the first season. The second (and last) season had Fry and McCord walk down the Main Street together.
Created by Roland Kibbee ("It Takes A Thief") and Norman Lear ("All In The Family, the many spinoffs, "Sandford & Son"). :)
The guy who "escaped" from prison was a part of the cast of the Bing Crosby, Rosemary Clooney, Danny Kaye and Vera Ellen movie "White Christmas"! Guess which role he played!
SANTA!
Wow, was this ever shown in Australia? I don't remember it, and I used to watch everything!!
Originally telecast on April 22, 1961.
thumbs up !
The people gripe about the background music don't seem to realized that this series was produced 65 years ago. So the music was not inappropriate for that time.
The guitar was incredible. If you close the guitar was creating song s such as happy together by the turtles, and shredding way before Van Halen and Jimi Hendrix,.. a very classically trained guitarist. He was related to Christopher parkening who was trained by Segovia the great classical guitarist.
Hi tks for the Deputy video!
I wouldn't say the music suits the show, but they used a high quality, talented guitar player. I wonder if anyone knows who it is. I'd love to listen to some of his recordings.
Howard Roberts plays the hot licks - Jack Marshall composed and was HR's producer
what great guitar work wonder if theres a sound track
she summed the people of silver city up niceley
Yes, l like it! 👏
FYI the Deputy was played by Allen Case
Mr. Fonda has two short scenes and he gets a nice paycheck.
He liked it that way. You rarely saw "Marshal Fry" in a full episode. Most of the time, he'd be there at the beginning and/or end of the story- and most of the time, he'd narrate what was going on.
Tommy (Dennis Holmes) went on to do the last two years of Laramie 1961-1963. He did not continue acting as an adult.
You bet me to the draw partner. I was going to say, that Dennis Holmes was on Laraie too. I'm gonna ride off into the sunset now. Rat! some polecat stole my horse!( ; )
Read Morgan (sarge) I don't know what other vet's did when their enlistment was over - but for me the first thing I did was - pack that uniform away some place and start wearing civvies again (fall in)
The guitarist was the great Howard Roberts
+Ted Alan I understand that the guy as great, but the music throughout the program just doesn't fit. At times, I feel like I am sitting here watching an episode of Deputy Dawg since there was always a guitar player in the background while the cartoon played ,lol. The composer of the music for this show also did the music for The Munster's TV show. I LOVE the closing theme for this show, "The Deputy"!
look at my new post on this thread
thanks
Allen Case was a bad dude. Could fight his ass off.
Why are there only ywo episodes to watch? Where are the 30 episodes that were promised?
I like the jazz. It is better than bongo drums
Great show, but you're right--the music is way out of place,
As I do when I take off my hat, you make a good point ! The harmonica stuff is ok but some of those guitar riffs get rather jazzy ! Very odd music for a TV Western !!

sorry earl. Copy Right I know its one word. silibleizing. only
I understand Henry Fonda was a fan and friend of Howard Roberts. in the 50's movie stars were 'Slumming' when they did TV. As a condition of making this show he insisted Howard play free form over the show...That is Howard on the theme to "Alias Smith and Jones" also... Howard Roberts was a dirty guitar player.

Wow women must have been strong in those days mention that cutting down big old tree and dragging it downtown I need those things weigh tons and tons
18:06 to 18:09 -- That is one rickety table!
can anyone tell about a western that was set in post civil war about 3 guys , one guy had one arm and I think they were only a 30 min. episodes . If anyone knows the title can You repy ?
Dan Reese Possibly "Tate".
Arthur Johnson thanks but don't think its that. It was a 30 min tv western about post civil war , 3 Rebs , one had a arm missing , one younger blond hair guy who I saw in some Audie Murphy movies and an older guy .
Dan Reese sounds like bronco (1957 or 1958) mixed with The Restless Gun (1957 TV Series) and a few more mixed in can you narrow it down any? like black and white/ color? any major stars? decade?
Dan Reese Try Soldier of Fortune. Not quire what you describe but close.
lord i have not even thought of that show in 30 years .
It seems that all the women in westerns had small waists and great bods.
+FIERO871 Wimmen where wimmen in them days not like the matchstick wimmen ya get today apart from fastfood wimmen.
+FIERO871 Now how do you supose they got the acting part despite fierce competition from flat-chested women? Regards
All natural no such thing as Silicone back then Woman were all Woman etc
This particular one certainly loosens the nuts.
Women back then always eat good and fresh foods unlike all the chemical fatty foods today
What’s with the jazz track ?
I don't know where I got the idea that Tony Perken was the Deputy?
He played the role in the movie. I think this show was based on it.
The guitar background sure distracts from the show......somebody wasn't thinking on that idea!
I don't remember this show from back then but there were only two or three T.V. stations available and they were from Memphis, so it's possible that a lot of shows never made it to us. In any case, I don't remember. The music sure is strange...I think I don't like it.
marbleman52 u r sure of something I'm just not sure what!?? lol
what's with the music ....wild west COUNT BASIE STYLE...
I LIKE WESTERN COUNTRY SOUNDS WITH MY BOOT HILL.
MIKE VON BACH I have to agree. I can't take the jazz background. The same for I believe the cowboy show Lancer. Just doesn't fit.
I like the music.
I want to see some new scnes
🤠
I liked the music which, in my opinion, did fit the show. The composer and performer was Jack Marshall. He was a famous guitarist, composer, and arranger. He arranged Peggy Lee's song Fever among others. He also scored a number of MCA/Revue/Universal films and TV shows including: Robert Mitchum's Thunder Road, The Munsters, Munster Go Home, and Laredo. He was also the father of filmmaker Frank Marshall. Jack Marshall died too young in 1973, aged 51.
Jack composed - Howard Roberts played
What...no squatters movies in....😮
por favor los videos deben ser en espanol yo no entiendo en ingles
It was ok but the background music was stupid..it didn't give a western feel...I don't remember watching this in 61..
I know I'm going to make enemies with this one but ... in this episode, the only one I've ever seen, Henry Fonda is more of a distraction. His star is so big it sucks away from the other performances.
+Randy King Henry, especially in the second season where this episode aired, usually took a back seat to Allen Case. His idea was to wander in at the beginning, make a cameo appearance to set up the plot, and then maybe show up in the last scene to have the last word. Even at that, he did tend to chew up the scenery in his short appearances.
Also, he set up his contract where he did most all his scenes for the season in a marathon shooting session, which is why you rarely saw him interact with anyone except Allen Case and Read Morgan's characters. That was the only way MCA could even talk him into coming over to TV. It worked out so well for Fonda that when CBS tried to talk one of his friends, Fred MacMurray, into doing a sitcom, Fonda told MacMurray "here's how you do it..."
I agree..
Randy King do not put them where they do not belong.
Randy King part of the reason the show failed. It was billed as a Fonda show. He was barely in it then when he was he was a distraction. Good show otherwise for a young boy
Its Allen Case not Allen Ford
Maybe you have already noticed and/or there is nothing you can do about it.
But this would seem to be generally public domanish.
There doesn't seem to be a readily available option to purchase it, so I do wonder, considering it is USA film, that it being blocked is perhaps an error, and could be resolved?
Most of them say Video blocked in country -- and it seems odd to me that it would be.
You did a lovely job uploading, you shouldn't have to spend more time at it ! But, hoping perhaps if you do, that might be possible to resolve? I liked the two that can be watached (: so very selfishly, I would like to see more (:

Thanks for posting, the George Benson guitar sounded a little out of place...
Has the wrong music for a western.
No this is the correct theme.
A lot of those scens with buildings don't look like backlot facades. Do you suppose they used real houses and barns from neighboring ranches?

...sounds like Les Paul did the Guitar.....
In some of the cues and transitions, this show took a tip from the '59-'61 syndicated (w/one year reruns on NBC) western "Shotgun Slade"...the music had a deliberate jazzy feel-and it strangely worked for a Western. BTW-look at the credits-didn't know Norman Lear did Westerns early on, eh?
+King Bee "Shotgun Slade" and "The Deputy" both came from the Revue studios. There was a period there at Revue where the music department had a heavy jazz influence. As for "Shotgun Slade", that was a deliberate attempt to mash up "Peter Gunn" with a Western setting, hence the jazz music.
Mike Stidham
Revue/MCA, Screen Gems and Desilu were very smart with their huge influence over TV programming in that era...they made sure all three networks had equal shots st their programming to avoid any hint of collusion or anti-trust concerns. CBS turned down Desilu's "The Untouchables" after first asking for it's pilot to be developed. ABC said "gimme!" and had a 4-year hit.
+King Bee They did a good job with that, though it still seemed that Revue/Universal seemed to have a patron in NBC (now part owners), Desilu/Paramount the same way with CBS (again now part owners), and the other studios (20th Century Fox and WB) sold their shows heavily to ABC (now owned by Disney). It could also be argued that CBS turning down the "Untouchables" pilot also opened up a long and successful relationship between "Untouchables" executive producer Quinn Martin and the ABC network as well.
Mike Stidham
Agreed on all points! Say...did we miss our calling? Should we have been '60s TV execs in sharkskin suits and skinny ties like "Mad Men?" (smile)
+King Bee Westerns were so prolific, everybody had to have a gimmick to set it apart from the others. "Tate" had one arm. "Shotgun Slade" had a rifle/shotgun over/under, Josh Randall had his "mare's leg", "The Rifleman" shot his Winchester like a machine gun.... etc. etc.
y only one epis
Just one more can be posted here. Coming soon
there was a different channel that had a whole bunch of these episodes but they got taken down. what was the reason for that?
They probably posted copyrighted stuff.
Only one episode seen it nuff times
Echo Mr nelson.y"all did all the time because of CR
And the jazz guitar is there why?
Because composer and guitarist Jack Marshall landed the coveted contract to provide music for the series.
Marshall was a staple at Revue Productions, later known as Universal Television (e.g., "The Munsters," the adorable Debbie Watson's "Karen," "Channing" (as in Channing College) all had the Marshall sound)). When I first saw this episode I thought "background music sounds like 'Laredo'." That's a Revue / Universal one-hour western that followed a few seasons later. Checking IMDB, "bingo!" Yeah, it's the same guy, Jack Marshall. He did a ton of other stuff.
Oh, back in the day, my how "Laredo" had a sound unlike any other TV western, thanks to that jazzy, flashy guitar sound. It admittedly sounded out of place for an "oater" (as trade paper VARIETY termed westerns, "back in the day"). Now that I've seen an episode of "The Deputy" -- 'The Return of Widow Brown' -- I can correct that to say "unlike 'The Deputy' or 'Laredo'."
A full decade after "The Deputy", composer / arranger Pete Rugulo "went to town" with several outstanding, unique scores on episodes of the fondly remembered "Alias Smith and Jones."
Personally, I "warmed to it," Marshall's "Deputy" music -- despite its sounding anachronistic. Most importantly, it's not annoying like some scores.
@@scvandy3129 Cool. Thanks for the history lesson!

So they beat a confession out of him and the t,v, audience had no problem with it , same things been happening ever since, the writers are careful to only abuse and violate the rights of scumbags though.
