The show aired in 1993 with a pilot that introduced us to the Bruce's character, Brisco County, Jr, a Harvard-educated lawyer turned bounty hunter who was searching for the infamous John Bly and his cutthroat gang who murdered his father, Marshal Brisco County, Sr. and stole an ancient artefact known as The Orb. Along the way we have a tendency to met his rival and later partner Lord Bowler (played by the late Julius Carry), a former Civil War Union soldier, his employer Socrates Poole (the wonderful Christian Clemenson who gained later fame in 'Boston Legal') and also the inevitable mad scientist Professor Wickwire (the celebrated John Astin) who acted because the 'Q' to Bruce's frontier 'Bond'. Throughout the series, which willfully subverted and played with accepted genres, strange steampunk science shattered the quaintness of 19th century Midwest America, as Brisco underwent all sorts of bizarre adventures. Funny, surreal, and from time to time downright perplexing the show was all these things and additional, never falling into any straightforward-work niche for TV schedulers, critics or audiences. Soon eclipsed by the behemoth that was to become the 'X-Files' (1993-2002) it had been cancelled when one open-ended season.
Fondly remembered mutually of the few attempts to bring the steampunk genre to mainstream television (and that arguably influenced the Can Smith led 1999 steampunk action-comedy film, the 'Wild Wild West') it retains a little but loyal cult following who appreciate its continued wry charms and knowing ways. 'The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr.' are only accessible in a fairly previous hefty Region 1 edition, with few extras, however it remains a good selection for a quiet night in. Not as great maybe as some fans would have, and actually as unhealthy because the critics claimed, it is fun, it's straightforward and it is steampunk. And like Bruce Campbell himself, a bit of a legend.
