Futuristic "Old West" Western
This was a good TV series; not great but rather original. Some commentators stated that it copied a great deal from the 60's western TV series "The Wild, Wild West" and though there definitely was some influence there I do not believe it was as much as some would think. A "true" Old West TV series; in an authentic Old West setting would probably not last very long nowadays as it would be perceived as too dull. Hence, the futuristic (for that time period) fixtures.The most descriptive comment concerning this series came from a Radio DJ on a morning show during the time this series was on it's original run. Some group or society had labeled "The Adventures of Brisco County Jr." as the most violent show on TV. Which, to anybody who ever saw it, was patently absurd. The DJ put it properly, after he stopped laughing about the violence statement, as he doubted the show could be too violent as "it doesn't even have a plot!" And, it really never did. Still nice to see an episode after all these years, though.
