The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr. was a mid-nineties TV show which provided a unique mix of the classic western and science fiction genres similar to The Wild Wild West TV series of the '60s. Created by Jeffrey Boam (screenwriter of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade and Inner Space) and Carlton Cuse (before Nash Bridges and Lost), the series starred B movie and television icon Bruce Campbell as the title character who, after the murder of his father (Marshall Brisco County, Sr, played by R. Lee Ermey) at the hands of the infamous John Bly gang, is hired by the wealthy members of the Westerfield Club to recapture John Bly (played by Billy Drago) and his gang of 12.Brisco is a graduate of Harvard Law School (with a theater minor) who is an implausibly accurate gunman, One-Liner King and ladies man with killer jawline and an almost permanent 5-o'clock shadow (Hey, it's Bruce Campbell, you expected something else?). He is smooth, quick-witted, durable, extremely creative and annoyingly hard to kill (he was even brought back from the dead once). After being hired by the "Robber Barons" of the Westerfield Club, Brisco (along with his horse, Comet) is immediately paired with the club's personal lawyer Socrates Poole (Christian Clemenson), who will be the middle man between them and their employee, Brisco. While searching for the escaped members of John Bly's gang Brisco obtains a reluctant partner in fellow bounty hunter Lord Bowler (Julius Carry), comes to know (quite well) a woman by the name of Dixie Cousins (Kelly Rutherford), slightly crazed scientist Prof. Albert Wickwire (John Astin) and a large number of guest characters. The secondary plot of the show revolves around a mysterious golden "Orb" which was uncovered by Chinese railroad workers and contains possibly mystical powers. Its true origin and purpose is something Brisco must discover.The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr. ran on the Fox network for a total of 27 episodes from August 27, 1993 to May 20, 1994 and was then cancelled. And that despite the network having much faith in it, feeling it would raise their audience at the Friday Night Death Slot and even give some residual viewers to the sci-fi show that followed - The X-Files, which became the runaway hit Brisco County, Jr. was expected to be! The theme music is composed by Randy Edelman and was later used by NBC during their Major League Baseball and Olympics coverage. | |

Tempting Fate: When Brisco is framed for murder and captured by another bounty hunter, he easily escapes the ropes she ties him up with and advises her to invest in chains instead as he escapes. Not long afterward she catches him again, and it turns out she took his advice. | |

| The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr. / int_165c3951 | comment |
Prochronic Product: One of the running themes in the series is Brisco fascinated by "the coming thing," various advanced inventions from side characters, villains, and his friend Professor Wickwire. The inventions are common to our time, but astounding in the Old West setting. Examples include an "inner space suit" (a diving suit) "motorized steel horses" (motorcycles), and Wickwire rigging up a rocket sled on a train track. | |

Genre Shift | |

Genre Shift: Starting with "Bye Bly" where John Bly is killed and the Orbs returned to the future, so the genre shifts slightly out of fantastical Sci-Fi and into less fantastic western espionage for the rest of the series. | |

Parents as People: Brisco Sr. was often away as part of his job, leaving a young son often feeling neglected and ignored (though it's pointed out he was never checked out during their conversations). "Senior Spirit" has Brisco come to terms with the fact that, while not perfect, the old man was doing the best he could as a widower with a full-time job. | |

Conveyor Belt o' Doom: Examples include Brisco being tied to a log in a sawmill, tied to railroad tracks, tied up with wet rawhidenote that would slowly contract as it dries, squeezing him to death, stuck in a soon-to-be exploding boiler room, tossed into quicksand, dumped down a well, stuck in a burning barn, the ax-throwing trick, tied to a metal pole in a thunderstorm, acid bath (actually intended for the victim in the room above Brisco but nearly gets him when it falls through the ceiling) and much more. | |

Anachronism Stew | |
| The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr. / int_259d5879 | comment |
Anachronism Stew: The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr. included such things as rockets, a mobile battle wagon (it's a freakin' tank, people!), steel horses (motorcycles), "machinery" guns, an inner-space suit (diving suit), a zeppelin and other items as well as modern popular culture references in the show dialog. Though these were supposedly early prototypes, their functionality and most people's understanding of them really strains suspension of belief. Some of the "anachronism" were more carelessness than playing with history - several of the "new-fangled" devices featured were already around by 1890, some for decades. The Gatling gun was patented in 1861, diving suits were a major area of research during the decade and would be manufactured before the end of the decade, and steam-powered airships had been flying since 1852. First motorcycle has been built in 1885 while similar vehicle powered by steam engine was constructed in 1868. Another episode featured denim being presented as the "next big thing" in textiles, despite having been used in American clothing for over a century. Although Ned Zed's "machinery gun" was more like a Thompson sub-machine gun than a gatling gun, which makes it still fit into this trope. The writers may well have been aware that these devices were around, albeit in primitive form, and that was the point. It could be taken as Steampunk. | |

A Pirate 400 Years Too Late | |
| The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr. / int_33e78383 | comment |
A Pirate 400 Years Too Late: One member of John Bly's gang and his lackeys were a group of actual pirates. Somehow or another they'd gotten driven off the high seas, so they took to pirating on the American plains. It's also a literal example of this trope, as they're very much classical pirates (maybe 17th century-ish), but the show is supposed to take place right around the turn of the 20th century. | |

Actor Allusions and Casting Gags: Hippie drug guru Timothy Leary's expertise in botany and pharmacology as Dr. Milo in "Stagecoach"...not to mention his Fauxlosophical Hand Contemplation scene. John "Gomez Addams" Astin mentioning how the [John & John Q.] Adams family was "weird". The series finale features a group of villains who are all played by football players, and discuss their plan to capture Brisco in the same style as a football play, including shouting "Break!" at the end. While running down a street, they encounter props which conveniently resemble a football training camp obstacle course, including tires. The traveling scenes are denoted by a very Indiana Jones -style red line on a map overlaid with video footage, which falls more within Author Allusion. | |

Noodle Incident An example from the episode "Hard Rock" where there's a buckboard wagon stuck in the side of the second floor of a building: A more serious example in another episode when Brisco calls Bowler on being distrustful of others, asking if he even has any friends. Bowler responds that he did once, but "It didn't work out." As Bowler explains his New Old Flame to Brisco, he has to reveal his last name was originally "Lonefeather." When Brisco asks why he changed it, Bowler simply asks him which story he'd rather hear at this point. | |

Big Fancy House: Bowler, much to Socrates and Brisco's surprise; apparently they thought he was stuffing his mattress with those big bucks he was making as a bounty hunter. He even has a cabinet full of top-of-the-line crystal, which he asserts he will make Socrates pay for in full if there's so much as a chip in it. So it's unfortunate that the reason they're even having the conversation is because Socrates has managed to acquire a Psycho Ex-Girlfriend in record time, and needs a place to hide out. | |

Of course, no Chinese emperor was born in 1894. The actual emperor of the time had reigned since 1875. The next (and last) Chinese emperor was born in 1906. | |

Being Good Sucks: In "Hard Rock," Sheriff Viva recognizes Hondo as a criminal, but can't arrest him since no one can prove he's broken any laws that are "on the books." | |

Superstition Episode: In a Halloween Episode Briso & Bowler have to deal with Bad Luck Betty, a superstitious deputy, while on a case. Where she goes bad luck follows, although she always says it's an accident - while also following various superstitions. For example, she managed to put the sheriff in a full body cast: she tossed salt over her shoulder just as he came in, which made him lose his footing and a grandfather clock fell on him. | |

Reckless Gun Usage | |
| The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr. / int_7d34f23a | comment |
Reckless Gun Usage While Brisco is tussling with a bad guy. The Girl of the Week wants to help, and grabs a nearby pistol by the barrel and is about to hit the bad guy before Brisco stops her. He beats up the bad guy himself, then demonstrates that fact that if the woman had struck someone with the butt of the loaded, flintlock pistol, it would've gone off. Directly into her. Also lampshaded in the pilot, when Big Smith's gang is going to shoot Brisco. Taken to a ridiculous extreme in "Bad Luck Betty" when Betty walks up to a man who was just shooting at them and tries to yank his shotgun from his hands by the barrel while it's still pointed right at her! | |

Establishing Character Moment | |
| The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr. / int_7febc23b | comment |
Establishing Character Moment: Pete Hutter is introduced giving a rant about his appreciation for classical art over the newer Impressionist movement as he observes a painter painting a mound as part of a Train Job, and then tells the painter that his landscape should have a sunset to complete the look. The painter remarks that it's in the middle of the day, so a sunset would ruin the illusion they're going for, whereupon Pete gets cranky over how he won't accept "constructive criticism." This tells us that Pete is nothing but your typical Western outlaw that think's he's smarter than he really is. We're introduced to Lord Bowler trying to pick a fight with Brisco Jr unprovoked after a lifetime of losing to Brisco Sr. After failing to intimidate Brisco with a lit pack of dynamite, he get both of them landed in jail. While Brisco manages to get out of a jail-sentence with his knowledge of the law, Bowler fails to do the same. This tells you everything you need to know about Bowler; he's manly, but as dumb as a rock and lives his life to try and inconvenience Brisco, only to be made to look like an idiot because he isn't as clever as his Foil. | |

What Happened to the Mouse? | |
| The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr. / int_863fa679 | comment |
What Happened to the Mouse?: Brisco's father is killed by Bly and the 12 members of his gang. By the time of "Bye Bly," Brisco and Bowler corner the "last one" before going on to defeating Bly himself. However, we'd only seen eight members defeated prior to this (plus a tenth member in the Whole Episode Flashback that aired right after "Bye Bly"). The 12 number is repeated in a later episode, so the three remaining members were apparently dealt with off-screen, but some fans nonetheless found the development curious. | |

Card Sharp: Played to the hilt in one episode where Brisco is in a poker game and both he and his opponent are cheating extensively. At one point Brisco even reaches down to pet a dog and pulls an ace from its collar. Even the cigarette girl is in on it. Even more fun is that despite Brisco's obsession with the "coming thing," he's relying on classic low-tech cheating while the other guy has all kinds of steampunk gadgets to help him. Though Brisco's opponent has a hand of five kings, he concedes defeat to Brisco's five aces: | |

The father in "Pirates!" feels this sting, as Brisco's the ass-kicking cowboy that impresses his son, whereas he's just a simple farmer. | |

Revenge Before Reason: Generally averted with Brisco himself. He's hunting the men that murdered his father, but as personal as the loss was, he is content to bring them to justice. Played straight, however, when Brisco encounters the man responsible for his mother's death. Brisco takes two beatings when he tries fighting head-on as opposed to using his wits. | |

Sentenced Without Trial | |
| The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr. / int_a593db6a | comment |
Sentenced Without Trial: In the pilot episode, Brisco and Lord Bowler find themselves in jail when the latter picked a fight with him in a cafe. The Judge tries to convict them to two months of community service, only for Brisco to invoke his law degree and demand his constitutional right to a trial by a jury of his peers. Not accustomed to such rights being invoked (and already having a workload too big to do so), the Judge throws his case out and lets Brisco go free while Lord Bowler is saddled with community service. In "Brisco for the Defense", Brisco's old Harvard friend Dr. Matt Carter is framed for a murder, and the entire town is convinced that he did the dirty deed and are intent on seeing him hanged as quickly as possible. The fact that the Sheriff tries to be as obstructive and unhelpful as possible certainly doesn't help. | |

We're introduced to Lord Bowler trying to pick a fight with Brisco Jr unprovoked after a lifetime of losing to Brisco Sr. After failing to intimidate Brisco with a lit pack of dynamite, he get both of them landed in jail. While Brisco manages to get out of a jail-sentence with his knowledge of the law, Bowler fails to do the same. This tells you everything you need to know about Bowler; he's manly, but as dumb as a rock and lives his life to try and inconvenience Brisco, only to be made to look like an idiot because he isn't as clever as his Foil. | |

Impressionism | |

Pete Hutter is introduced giving a rant about his appreciation for classical art over the newer Impressionist movement as he observes a painter painting a mound as part of a Train Job, and then tells the painter that his landscape should have a sunset to complete the look. The painter remarks that it's in the middle of the day, so a sunset would ruin the illusion they're going for, whereupon Pete gets cranky over how he won't accept "constructive criticism." This tells us that Pete is nothing but your typical Western outlaw that think's he's smarter than he really is. | |

In "Steel Horses," Wickwire unveils his one-way glass for an interrogation. Bowler muses that he'd want something like that at home that he could turn on and watch anytime he wants. | |

He is black, but Bowler's hair, clothing, earrings, and aspects of his character come from his Native American heritage. Also falls under Truth in Television, as Julius Carry does have Native American ancestry. | |

He beats up the bad guy himself, then demonstrates that fact that if the woman had struck someone with the butt of the loaded, flintlock pistol, it would've gone off. Directly into her. | |

In practice, every time someone does (even if it's a repeat offender like Brisco), he's so shocked that he'll stand there, gibbering that they "touched his piece", for several minutes, giving the would-be victim plenty of time to get rid of it, compelling Pete to waste his time finding it. | |

One episode has John Astin's character remark that the John (John Quincy Adams') family was said to be weird. In "Stagecoach", the captured agent is named Emma Steed. One of the residents of "No Man's Land" is Dr. Quintano, Medicine Woman. | |

Reasonable Authority Figure | |
| The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr. / int_dca70c44 | comment |
Reasonable Authority Figure: Judge Gatt is a grouchy and impatient old man, but is also extremely fair, willing to delay a trial so that Brisco can do his research, and firmly wants to further justice. Mr. Emmerson. When the other robber barons weren't interested in having Brisco work for them due to his unorthodox behavior, Mr. Emmerson immediately stands up and hires Brisco. And through the rest of the series he proves to be the most wise and moral of Brisco's employers. | |

Piano Drop: John Bly arranges this as Brisco is chasing him, used as a Commercial Break Cliffhanger. Brisco shoots the pully clamp to stop it just before it hits him and his Girl of the Week. | |

Historical In-Joke | |
| The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr. / int_dfe57573 | comment |
Historical In-Joke Mexico has a county named Brisco out of gratitude for his actions in "Brisco in Jalisco." Sheriff Viva invented sunglasses (though he called them "dayglasses"). | |

Hippie drug guru Timothy Leary's expertise in botany and pharmacology as Dr. Milo in "Stagecoach"...not to mention his Fauxlosophical Hand Contemplation scene. | |

Twilight of the Old West | |
| The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr. / int_ead5a011 | comment |
Twilight of the Old West: Given the prominent themes of science and technology in the series this is inevitably referenced. Brisco interestingly is actually hoping this happens, not too perturbed over the age of cowboys ending thinking it will signal in a bright new age of law enforcement. | |

A Hero to His Hometown | |
| The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr. / int_ebdb0292 | comment |
A Hero to His Hometown: Though Brisco has some notice for his career (which is how he got the job hunting Bly's gang), he's still considered a small fry compared to his more illustrious father. However, he returns to the old homestead in "Showdown" and gets a warm welcome from the lawful citizens. He further improves his reputation with them by taking down the Brackmans for their crimes. | |
