"One part Bond, one part Indiana Jones and 100% cool."
Eräs tv-historian parhaimmista sarjoista ja tunnareista! Näin tämän itse aikoinaan, kun tuli ekan kerran televisiosta 1990-luvun puolessavälissä, ja olen rakastanut siitä asti. Tämä oli myös ensikosketukseni Bruce Campbelliin (aivan kuten ensikosketukseni Tim Curryyn oli Earth 2 -sarja!!!).
”The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr., often referred to as just Brisco or Brisco County,[1] is an American weird western television series created by Jeffrey Boam and Carlton Cuse. It ran for 27 episodes on the Fox network starting in the 1993–94 season. Set in the American West of 1893, the series follows its title character, a Harvard-educated lawyer-turned-bounty hunter hired by a group of wealthy industrialists to track and capture outlaw John Bly and his gang. Bruce Campbell plays Brisco, who is joined by a colorful group of supporting characters, including Julius Carry as fellow bounty hunter Lord Bowler and Christian Clemenson as stick-in-the-mud lawyer Socrates Poole.
While ostensibly a Western, the series routinely includes elements of the science fiction and steampunk genres.[2] Humor is a large part of the show; the writers attempted to keep the jokes and situations "just under over-the-top".[3] A large number of episodes involve the Orb, a powerful device from the future. John Astin plays Professor Wickwire, an inventor who assists Brisco with anachronistic technology including diving suits, motorcycles, rockets, and airships. The search for new technology and progressive ideas, what the writers of the show called "The Coming Thing",[4] is a central theme throughout the series.[5]”

Kiva muuten tietää: Brisco on saatavilla (tosin melko harvinainen löytö tänä päivänä!) DVD-julkaisuna, joka on merkitty USA:n Region 1 -koodauksella tehdyksi, mutta tosiasiassa tämä boksi on aluekoodivapaa. Eli jos tämä sattuu vastaasi tulemaan, niin voit ihan huoletta sen ostaa ja katsoa tavallisella Suomesta ostetulla DVD- tai Blu-ray -soittimella.
