- This, of course, is the introduction to "McCloud," the 1970-1977 NBC-TV series starring Dennis Weaver as Deputy Marshal Sam McCloud of Taos, New Mexico, assigned on a semi-permanent basis to the New York Police Department to study big-city law-enforcement practices. "McCloud" started out as one element of NBC's "Four-in-One" series, but spent most of its eight seasons as part of "The NBC Mystery Movie." Learn more here: therapsheet.blogspot.com/2011/...

He went from being Chester on Gunsmoke to the role he was born to play McCloud. We had the best tv cops ever in the 70s. RIP Dennis Weaver. You played one of the best.
The British and American tv shows in the 70s and 80s were iconic and classics such happy memories especially at Christmas.❤️
So true sir. Cheers
Indeed. I'd add in the 60s as well, because I'm old.
I remember McCloud,along with Columbo and McMillan and wife on Sunday night back in early 70s.
Hec Ramsey Quincy Snoop Sisters ,Bancheck
That's true.I forgot about those.
@@gandlar5489 QUINCY TOO. ME thatbecame a real series along with MRS COLOMBO.........
Mccloud and Columbo were my favorite
All good series!
My dad watched this show, i was just a kid but I loved the introduction. I thought it SO cool him riding a horse in the city!!
Dennis Weaver and Peter Falk are forever angels in heaven .
Falk...
Glen Larson had excellent shows. Henry Mancini had first rate music theme to Sunday Mystery Movie! Time has given us all great music, TV shows, and movies. 60s, 70s, and 80s are the epitome of media television and music !
i have such great memories of McCloud, Columbo and Mcmillan and wife growing up in the 70's. And love the beginning theme with the guy with the flashlight.

chek out the vid from 0:26 and see the partially completed WTC towers from 1971
Up until this day , i still watch Columbo. Just about every episode i saw a million times already but i still watch them like the very first time.
Mccloud ran for seven years and it was a popular show. McCloud lives on today and I watch it in reruns and Dennis Weaver who played Sam McCloud was a popular guy.
McCloud was my least-favorite of the original NBC Mystery Movie series. For one thing, for a show whose premise was a cowboy-like New Mexixo cop assigned to the NYPD, too many of his stories had him traveling somewhere else.
@@VonWenk ..... *different strokes for different folks* McCloud is my *main man!!👍*
Refresh my memory if you will , but wasn't there a 2 -hour movie called ;
The "return" of McCloud ? I think it came out about 5-8 years after the
McCloud t.v. series ended .
One of my favorite TV series from childhood in 1976,
I am big into retro shows. McCloud is one of my favorites. The unique characters and setting is second to none.
from the days when tv shows were actually fun!
amen to that! i grew up watching those shows and loved them
Those stunt men deserved a special award for this intro . However I looked forward to this intro every week it made me have the biggest crush on Dennis Weaver for years😊
0:17 nice butt shot of him!😍
Watched this 💎 in the mid 70s always brought a smile to my face and always thoroughly enjoyed it Auckland New Zealand 2023
Ah the memories 😊. My dad resembled Dennis Weaver quite a bit when he was younger and his fellow police officers called him McCloud. In 2010 (long after he retired), I met one of his old colleagues when I was taking my drivers test and when the guy saw my last name, he went: are you related to McCloud!??
Nice story.
Did your dad ride a horse through the streets of New York?
@@JeromeWade-lm8jh i wish! 😂
Glen Larson was a genius! Creator/producer/writer/theme songwriter for McCloud, Fall Guy, Knight Rider, Battlestar Galactica, Quincy, One West Waikiki, Buck Rogers, BJ and the Bear and many others and also contributed to the Six Million Dollar Man.
Good to know...thought this may have bedn David Shire's version
RIP Ken Lynch (July 15, 1910 - February 13, 1990), aged 79
RIP J. D. Cannon (April 24, 1922 - May 20, 2005), aged 83
RIP Dennis Weaver (June 4, 1924 - February 24, 2006), aged 81
You will be remembered as legends.

It was so important to me in my childhood!!
I was in the first episode in 2 scenes, for what it's worth. When Marshal McCloud first arrived in New York he walked around Times Square and I was one of the people he passed on the sidewalk. Since the two cameramen were walking backwards filming Dennis Weaver the people on the sidewalk had to part like the Red Sea to avoid causing an accident. It was all so random. There was no director waving people aside while they filmed. I had to dodge them by stepping aside too. I kept walking of course and then turned back around to look at them. Then during the Times Square 'Dream Sequence' at night I was amongst a crowd of people surrounding a bed and gauzy curtains. I could see myself because I was waving my jacket while standing in a gigantic cement pot. It was a scene where the special effects people released about a dozen white doves. I was just 21 at the time and it was exciting to point myself out to friends and family every time that particular episode played on TV.
+metaspherz Excellent. Were you paid for your trouble?
There ya go
Wow. That is really cool. I was just a little shaver then. I always liked McCloud. Columbo, Quincy & the rest. I have a similar experience. I served as part of the Infantry security detail in Haifa, Israel. During Operation Desert Storm. Myself and 5 other men provided ground defense for the Patriot missiles that destroyed the Scud missiles aimed at the Nuclear power cooling tower below Mt. Carmel.
We got lucky and engaged every incoming target successfully. A few years later. Before I went on to Korea where I would become the escape track driver for Gen. Tommy R. Franks. I saw myself on the History channel plain as day doing my security sweep downrange physically checking for any security breeches. The six of us were the only humans allowed within 300 meters of those launchers. Whoever got that footage of me was a brave Soul. I was 19 years old. Gung ho. At war in the Holy Land and we literally believed we were staring down Armageddon. The Valley was only about 20 clicks north and we were authorized to use deadly force.
It still creeps me out that some unknown photojournalist was able to capture that footage without my knowledge. Thank God it wasn't an enemy sniper.
@@mikeholmes2786Cool stories. I also was filmed in some random shots. On the first Gilligans Island episode you can see me on the dock when the boat leaves for the "four hour tour". And in the Israeli raid on Entebbe, an Israeli film crew was filming a documentary on it, but when the camera panned around and I would have been in the shot, I actually had run off to pick up a rifle that one of the Israeli commandos had dropped. I got on my bicycle (I was a really fast bike racer back then) and rode after the jeep carrying the rifle to the soldier, boy was he happy I brought it to him. Lady Di dropped a sub sandwich once, and I rode after her and gave it to her so she would not go hungry. The Buckingham Palace guard guy was kind of rude, but Lady Di wasn't, she was always a real class act. Her mother-in-law gave me a dirty look though.
cool story dude 😴
Dennis Weaver you are truly missed
This show is now on Cozi TV every Saturday!
Great theme, Glen Larson apparently wrote it. Sure had the stunt doubles doing dangerous stuff with the helicopter, jumping onto a guy on a motorcycle from a horse, and the battle scene on top of the stagecoach wagon. The McCloud character was originally from Taos, N.M. and was sent to NYC to learn modern policing from the NYPD. He was able to teach the city slicker cops a few things if they were willing to learn.
Some say it's David Shire who wrote it, there seems to be some confusion over who wrote which McCloud theme; the first 'country & western' type theme from the early seasons of this later one. It's a brilliant piece of music, to think once upon a time TV themes actually had multiple instrument arrangements like this one, you don't hear this kind of structured musical composition anymore anywhere really. And this is 'only' a 1 minute TV theme, amazing. For whatever reason, I sometimes picture a school marching band playing this it sounds quite fitting or would've been back in the day anyway.
I loved this song because it highlighted the woodwinds in the song. Was either a clarinet or bass clarinet in a short solo. I was 10 and I took up woodwinds in Jr. High school.
I just heard this great theme song watching some cable. This theme song has that Westerns kind of flavor like the Magnificent Seven theme, plus the rhythm makes you think of horses running in the West. The other McCloud episodes that were also available on my cable programming had a different horrible jazzy theme song unfortunately-- I'm not sure if the other song was before or after this one.
Just loved that theme tune!. Just amazingly composed and conducted, thank heavens for America TV.
And Mannix, Kojac, Airport 75 (film, ok), Jake etc., Hulk, such good tunes and music in the scenes. Bravo America, indeed. Thanks to Julliards often I think.. Best school.
2 years Mannix was a real impactful theme tune, might be watching Joe Mannix tonight.
Loved this series So many memories of watching this with my grandad
Chief! McCloud!
Exceptional stuntmen -- leaping from the horse to snatch the guy on the bike and then roll down the hill fighting, if that wasn't enough, fighting on top of a moving vehicle -- are hilarious. The horse wasn't no dummy either, he got out of the way real fast. Dennis Weaver was so good in this and handsome as well. This a very memorable theme song.
+kariebeez What about the terrifying hanging from a helicopter, which I just saw tonight on MeTV, especially if you have a fear of heights!!!!!!!!!!
LOL, it wouldn't have been me, I'm frightened of heights!
Always loved this opening theme. This show was clearly the inspiration for "Matt Houston."
When I watch TV series from back then today, I get sad because 99% of the time they had a message of kindness somewhere in the show and I miss that.......it's something we don't have today!! Quite frankly I think some episodes from the past would be better sermons than what we get in churches these days!! Be KIND people, and just do right!!
I always remember him riding a horse, came back to check my memory 😊. Not sure what day/time this was shown on uk TV.
Going through old tv theme into,man what memories.love it.
McCloud was a combination of Bruce Lee, Mcgyver, The Texas Ranger, Indiana Jones and Dirty Harry all rolled into one.
Indeed
Watching Indiana Jones ride horseback in late 1960s New York in Dial Of Destiny brings back memories of this show.
A Top 10 TV theme intro.
this was the first episode of the 1975-1976 season of McCloud.
I have no idea why but I always loved this theme song
I saw reruns of these after macgyver when I was growing up. Loved both.
Based on the 1968 Clint Eastwood movie “Coogan’s Bluff.”
I love these shows : McCloud , Columbo &, Bancek.
Great theme for a great show!
I'd forgotten this opening, then forgot that I'd forgotten it if that makes any sense. I saw it often enough in its heyday and it was pretty compelling.
My husband was the stuntman in this. He is a Bootmaker in Fort Worth Texas.
It's been twenty years since I was in Fort Worth. Is Billy Bobs still there?
@emigrate Just a point don't be nasty about what's wrong you did not get your cookie today?
@@edwardmartinez199 How is he being nasty??
What part was he in?
@@alexbeattiemusic look at the comment.
I loved this show
I remember watching this when I was young and how McCloud always drove the police chief nuts!
What great show love the intro music.
WOW this take me back................
This is the opening used for the sixth season, the best of the openings in my opinion. I can't tell you what building is seen at 0:31 either, but it's from the fourth show of the second season, "Showdown at the End of the World." McCloud leaves confiscated heroin inside the tower for a crook to pick up, in exchange for a flight attendant (Jaclyn Smith in her first major role), whom he's befriended and who was held hostage by the drug smugglers who use flight attendants to put drugs onto their international flights. The rappelling sequence that follows is McCloud's way of escaping the building, surprising the thug who's guarding the building, locking him inside his car trunk and backing the car up against the only door to the observation tower, for the police to pick up later.
Peter Harris The observation towers were left over from the 1964 World's Fair. There are three such towers ranging in height from 85' to 226'. They are adjacent to the former New York State Pavilion and the Unisphere. The World's Fair was located in Flushing Meadows Corona Park where Shea Stadium was and Citi Field is now located.
+kellyrrice I could think of a much more comfortable way to see the sites, than seeing them hanging from a helicopter going 140 miles per hour, I'll pay the full fare and sit inside, thank-you!!!!!
@@kellyrrice and used as major propline in the org MIB Movie

McCLOUD!?
"There ya go!"
McCloud was always my favourite Friday night movie
There's a scene the Twin Towers under construction...
Very classy theme and so much better than the original. Nice update to the TV western theme.
McCloud was King Shit! I loved watching this show when I was a kid.
Dude never lost his hat
From a time I really missing today .
I'm surprised there hasn't been a reboot of this series or a movie. It's long overdue.
Would not be the same reboots don't work well. Look a five o good show but it's just off a bit.
oh no no , no reboots , they're fine just the way they are
Why so they can ruin it with tough chicks and make McCloud some punk who listens to everything they say!
I remember that show great TV and that intro just love it great tune.
The stunts in the intro alone are insane.
OH! Sooooo many years since I say and heard that one! :D
this needs to be rebooted,,
There ya go!"
Oh please dont. Remakes seldom work. And theyd probably make McCloud a woman or a black guy. (i.e Kojak, Kono, Dr. Smith, etc)
Amava estes filmes Os Detetives não perdia um ebisodio
Teniente Mac Cloud. ¡Adoraba esta serie de mi infancia!
Cómo se llamaba el título general en que aparecía un tío con una linterna sobre fondo rojo y que contenía otras series que se rotaban ?
@@norastorgarlensiu1979 Trilogía Policíaca.
@@jeeperpitufo Gracias.
good theme by composer david shire
I wish there was a full version love the tune fits the show. Love this episode little John was in this did a great job John Denver could act talented man RIP.
Chief?
Mccloud.
best. catchphrase. ever.
Loved this
as a kid was dumb struck watching mcCloud charging down streets of new york on horseback cool show.
ME TOO!!
@@elmobolan4274 thanks for the reply just one of those great 70s tv intros and moments that was.
I always believe that both Coogan's Bluff and McCloud gave rise to Beverley Hills Cop and Due South. All the man character were cops who had to clash with the conventional policing system of a different state or country by fighting crime in their own style.
McCloud was my favorite of the bunch, they show Columbo reruns, why not McCloud.
Most enjoyable
The Sunday Night Mystery Movie...I watched it from 1971 until it was canceled. I liked McCloud best, and its theme music, plus the music when the flashlight shone on the various movie cast. Columbo was good too, and is on MeTV. There are a few full length eps of McCloud, on You Tube. No one could ever replace Dennis Weaver in that role, or Peter Falk as Columbo. I think remakes of classic shows and movies should be a crime.
I wasn't born until 1974 , wish I could go back to the 70's & look at it from late teenage years or early 20's
Love it 😍
Oh yeah.. this brings me back.. to when i was about 19, and my 70 year old grandpa was watching this on satellite tv, and i was like.. wth is this McCloud, and Barnaby Jones, and Mission Impossible? It was 1995 and he was watching reruns of old shows that just looked weird to me lol
Now i wish I were living in those times.
This was the first episode of the 1975-1976 season.
Absolutely loved this show as a kid!
I always wondered why McCloud was treated so harsh by his boss, Chief Clifford.
A few years ago, I did some searching online.
McCloud was a Deputy TOWN Marshal from Taos, New Mexico (same as a Deputy Sherriff)
I always thought he was a Deputy U.S. Marshal!
As an adult, I didn't think even a Chief of Police of New York City could get away with harassing a Federal Officer! A Deputy TOWN Marshal - no problem.
Taos, New Mexico still has a Town Marshal and a few Deputies to this day.
Now it makes sense - and I am a Slow learner...
And the protagonist in Steven Spielberg's directorial debut..."Duel " what a film!!
McCloud is my hero. Maybe best tv show 70s.
Excelente serie de los años ,80, la veía cuando era niño.
It's actually from the 70's dude
Themes at top
Talking about Cowboy Cop in NYC?
Yeah, how about the Southern Country '70s NYC version of Law and Order. Now that l like it.
Because even he's from New Mexico; Marshall Sam McCloud knows how to get the job done here in New York City. I wished they should bring it back. I really do. Because that's my theme song of all times. Don't forget Baretta, Kojak, Columbo, Mc Millan and Wife,Delvecchio, and others.🗻🐎🦅🇺🇸🍔🍺. Thanks for playing.
Good times!
I'm trying to identify a tv show from the early 1970s that I thought might have been McCloud but apparently was some other show. During the opening credits there is this far away rider on a horse who comes towards the camera and he is silhouetted against an orange sunset sky so you can't see his face you just see this horse and rider coming towards you in silhouette while the theme music of the show plays. I don't remember anything else about the show except I thought it was some sort of cowboy detecctive show.
Chief?
McCLOUD?
MSTies will get that one.
Lol yep
Can someone show me a part of this show where they actually say that?
Kyle Stubbs pod People I believe
The Sunday Mystery Movie theme brought me here.
thanks kevin
Beastmaster? Ringo? Axel? Sinead? Chief?
Mccloud
Así como estás series de television deberían las compañías televisivas como la ABC hacer en el 2018
I just finished watching an episode on metv they rotate with Macmillan and columbo just like on the mystery movie
Lo veia cuando era pequeño en blanco y negro......
oh those americans , i can't believe i watched these series!
Love this show whatttt 🎵🎵🎵🎵😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍🤠
They weren't shy on the "Cool As" ROUGHIE TOUGHIE stunts back in the Day !! :)
Wow McCloud definitely a major change in role from him being Chester the lady's man from gunsmoke.
This show is better than The Love Boat (1977-1987).
0:45 that horse said: "these fools are fighting - i'm outta here before i get shot!!"
It here is a remix version on myYT
Here in Brazil I like it
It's hard to judge the first season of "McCloud," given that the episodes were re-edited to expand the running time to about 90 minutes. Most confusing and annoying. The pilot episode is a bit poor but the second season is ok. Dennis Weaver was well cast.
Damn, those stunts.
Dennis galloping his horse down the busy streets of modern New York City in his cowboy hat. How out of place! The Old West meets the modern American East.
I love the buns on Dennis!😍
The first Urban Cowboy Long before John Travolta
