A science fiction-Western and comedy-drama with echoes of The Wild Wild West and Raiders of the Lost Ark, The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.: The Complete Series is uniquely entertaining. Anchored by the comically heroic style of likable B-movie actor Bruce Campbell, Adventures lasted one television season in 1993-94. But it left behind a full 27 episodes (including two two-part stories) full of classic TV Western production values and a running storyline that resembles The X-Files after awhile.
Campbell plays Brisco County Jr., a bounty hunter and son of a legendary U.S. marshal (R. Lee Ermey) gunned down by the villainous John Bly (Billy Drago) and his band of misfits. The younger Brisco is hired by a consortium of businessmen to protect their interests from the likes of Bly, and while he's dedicated to that cause, Brisco is also determined to avenge his father's murder. Helping him do a little of both is a fussy attorney, Socrates Poole (Christian Clemenson); a rival bounty hunter, Lord Bowler (Julius Carry); a wacky inventor, Professor Wickwire (John Astin); and a sultry saloon singer, Dixie (Kelly Rutherford). Rockets, mysterious orbs, and superhuman strength are some of the delightfully out-of-their-element phenomena that find themselves alongside more conventional cowpoke ingredients, including a horse so smart he can chew the ropes binding Brisco's hands. For the most part, the stories stand alone. But as the season progresses, a lot of things get weirder, albeit in a good way: the truth about Bly and his connection to a golden orb everyone wants, for example, are certainly unexpected. But the show is always dazzling, often satiric ("Oy!" Dixie exclaims when Brisco outlines the steps involved in stopping a runaway wagon they're trapped within), yet heartening in an old-fashioned way. Special features include Campbell's reading of a chapter about the series in his autobiography. --Tom Keogh

If you love Bruce Campbell and liked the old Wild Wild West shows then you will like this series.

This was one of the best TV shows of all time. The writing was so far ahead of its time. Must watch more than once because so much dialogue gets missed while you're laughing. So very tongue in cheek. Just plain awesome.

Love the show and the box set is great - but just a warning buy this DvD elsewhere. I saw it at BJs Club for $13.99 today and on ebay for under $30.00 for the same product. Amazon is ripping you off here.

Brisco County isn't really much like Firefly, apart from the offbeat humor. However when it first aired it had a similarly devoted fan following and for much the same reason: it was absolutely different from every other program out there. The pacing is a little off for modern expectations, but the dry wit delivered superbly by Bruce Campbell, Kelly Rutherford, and John Astin is more than worth the investment in this DVD collection.

I really like Bruce in the few things I have seen him in. Maybe I am not getting all the humor, though there is some, but there is a whole lot of "try and be serious", that role just does not suit Bruce... in my opinion.
But that is only because he does the clown so well! (sorry for typecasting)
However, having said that, it is still very watchable and I am glad I bought it. Just because things are not as you were expecting, does not make them bad, you just have to appreciate them for ... Read More
