Brisco County is wonderful! They should have never ended the series. This series had a unique way of introducing Sci-fi, westerns and the next coming thing all in one show. John Astin who played Gomez in the Adams Family is a great character addition. No one but Bruce Campbell could have ever played the part of Brisco. And his horse Comet is a hoot.

Brisco is a great show, brings back memories. It's really too bad it didn't get picked up for a second season, though it's really the writer's fault on that. They set up that great Orb storyline, then proceeded to botch it beyond anything a first year soap writer could have come up with. It never recovered from that point. If you listen to the writer's commentary it's self-congratulatory tripe, but you can glean that they were working on such a tight time table, that's why continuity was sometimes lacking. This set is a nice walk down memory lane, but you'll find that the memories were sweeter than the reality.

I can remember when this show first came out - long before I had any conception of who Bruce Campbell was - and really liking it. It's a good, clean (mostly) action-adventure show with some great comedy and great characters. And it's for most ages - like an old-time cowboy serial.
The story follows Brisco County Jr. (Campbell), a lawyer who turns bounty hunter when his father, a famed lawman, is gunned down in cold blood by the criminal gang of the infamous John Bly. Aided by his friends, the grumpy scout and tracker Lord Bowler (Julius Carry), cowardly Socrates Poole (Christian Celmenson), and Prof. Wiskwire (John Astin, who you may remember as Gomez Addams from the original Addams Family), Brisco is hired by a group of tycoons to bring Bly ot justice. In the process, Brisco becomes embroiled in the search for the mysterious and mystical Orb, an object of enormous occult power coveted by Bly. Along they way, Brisco has run-ins with the seductive chanteuse Dixie Cousins (Kelly Rutherford) and Bly's wacky henchmen.
What marks this show is its sense of fun. There are crazy inventions, weird villains (including a prairie pirate named - I kid you not - Blackbeard LeCut), cliffhangers, and everything else that makes adventure shows a great time. The jokes and puns come hard and fast, and the characters are nothing if not lovable - even Comet, Brisco's "talking" horse. Now, the whole science fiction element that is woven throughout the show is a little off-putting - it just doesn't seem to quite fit - but it doesn't detract too much from the program over all. A great time, and a great show.

As a Bruce Campbell fan from way back, this is an absolute must have set of DVD's. The character of Brisco County Jr. shows Bruce Campbell as a youthful and handsome fellow. Then add the rest of the characters who are also perfect for their roles and some horses and a Western theme and you pretty much have the perfect show. Originally I bought this set as a birthday present for my adult daughter but we all watch it and love it.
