This western hasn't been on TV for more than 20 years. ME-TV is a broadcast network that is available in many cities and on some cable systems. "The Rebel" is shown at 11AM EST on Saturday mornings. The ME-TV website shows where it is available, along with other old TV programs... Enjoy

Not long ago I was speculating with a buddy about how long would it be before we’d see the TV Western return?

“The Rebel” is one western that hasn’t yet made it to dvd. I recall the Encore Westerns channel running it back in the mid-to-late-90s, but I haven’t seen it since. A good one, though.
Lots of old western shows have become available on dvd in recent years. One outfit, Timeless, has released a slew of them, including some of the lesser-seen ones, like “Tales of Wells Fargo,” “Laramie,” “Cimarron City,” “The Deputy,” “The Tall Man,” “Whispering Smith,” “Destry,” “Restless Gun,” “Laredo,” “The Texan,” and probably a few others. They also recently released the modern-day western/rodeo series “The Wide Country.” I’d rather watch this stuff anyday over the current garbage the networks are airing.

I always thought the name of that show was "Johnny Yuma" because of the title song.
Was "Yuma" his nickname or was he a very ethnic guy for a Confederate?

Somebody said that network will also be running classic Christmas specials like Dean Martin's. Keep an eye out for it.
