Movie Reviews of The Adventures of Brisco County Jr. - The Complete Series
Movie Review: Really like this show but...
Summary: 3 Stars
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 Vegas girls, and every single episode with Dixie Cousins (who was a great character overall) had her starting out or finishing off in a scantily clad custume) and the few roles in the hay (some literal). I find these scenes (short though they may be) embarassing to watch myself, and are what keep me from allowing my kids to watch.
It's a shame, as the rest of the show is great and something I would have liked to be able to watch as a family.
Movie Review: ``Brisco County'' - What a great show!
Summary: 5 Stars
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 of a gang. Along the way, the just ever so slightly over-the-top humor keeps fans laughing and entertained as they wait to see what Brisco, Lord Bowler, the professor, the Schwenge sisters and Swill brothers and those strange golden orbs that give those who touch them powers. I highly recommend to anyone who loves comedy that they check out this show that is actually a Sci-Fi Western comedy.The Adventures of Brisco County Jr. - The Complete SeriesMovie Review: OLDIES LOVER

WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS DVD. ARRIVED IN EXCELLENT CONDITION & I THOROUGHLY ENJOYED WATCHING BRUCE & HIS COHORTS CATCH THE BAD GUYS & SAVE THE WORLD.Movie Review: A show better than other series out at the time - deserved better success
Summary: 5 Stars
I enjoy satire, tongue-in-cheek sendups of various genres, and this series seemed poised to do just that when it first aired. Sadly, it may have missed the mark for other viewers, but I feel that it was in the same vein as the classic "Wild, Wild West" series. Good actor rapport and ensemble acting, just plain fun to watch. I also thought the stories were well-written on the whole. I am a fan of much of Bruce Campbell's work - he has the dry quips and retorts down pat. The sci-fi, almost H.G. Wells-like scenarios mixed with the Old West seemed to work for me. I wish it had been given more of a chance.Movie Review: Classic Bruce Campbell
Summary: 5 Stars
I think this series is a must-have for the Bruce Campbell fan. I wish it would have run longer. I thought it was way too expensive to buy when it first came out on DVD, though. I'm glad to see that the price has finally come down.
