Description:
The world's favorite western/sci-fi/comedy/action cult hit rides again! Here on 8 discs is the complete series about Brisco (Bruce Campbell), a tough-as-rawhide cowpoke, debonair ladies' man and Harvard-educated smarty-britches who roams from Frisco to Jalisco in pursuit of outlaws who killed his father...and in search of a mysterious orb possessing out-of-this world powers. Hot lead and cool anachronisms await Brisco as he and his sidekicks - including Comet, the intellectual equine who doesn't know he's a horse - fight for justice in the way, way, way-out West. Put your boots in your stirrups, your tongue in your cheek and join the fun. Let's play cowboys and aliens.

Amazon.com:
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

Rating: - Don't You Own This Yet?
Are you a Bruce Campbell fan? IF so, there's nothing more to say about the box set. Either you remember the show and you should own it or take it from other Bruce fans and just watch it for the first time. It's classic Bruce so you can't go wrong.
Rating: - The Adventures of Brisco
It has been years since I seen this show. This show is packed full of action and cutie Bruce Campbell is hilarious. This has everything in it comedy, action, a little romance. A completely fun show to watch.
Rating: - The Adventures of Briscoe County Jr.
These episodes aired on Saturday morning, I loved 'em then as now. Bruce Campbell made the show but the cast along with Kelly Rutherford topped it all off.
Rating:  - Really like this show but...
I really liked this show when it originally aired and eagerly watched and enjoyed all (well most) episodes once gotten on DVD. This show has great characters, wonderfully weird story lines, an overall storyarch is followed, and is ALMOST family friendly.
This is what frustrates me the most, that it is ALMOST family friendly. It is not overly violent and the heroes are all likeable. The problem is in the number of showgirl scenes (including the German blacksmiths, the belly dancers, the ... Read More
Rating: - ``Brisco County'' - What a great show!
I missed this lengthy one-season series when it aired on Fox, and frankly I was sorry I had once I finished watching this. This was really my first opportunity to really see actor Bruce Campbell, whose hamminess is readily evident in other bodies of work such as ``Jack of All Trades'' (another one-season wonder of a show he starred in) and the more recent ``Burn Notice''. In this show, he plays the main character, a lawyer turned bounty hunter who comes west to avenge his fathers death at the hands ... Read More
