Bruce Campbell stars in the sci-fi western _The Adventures of Brisco County Jr._, the “coming thing” from television producer Carlton Cuse. A throwback to old movie serials, the series follows bounty hunter Brisco County Jr., who’s hired by a group of robber barons to hunt down the notorious outlaw John Bly and his gang; which murdered Brisco’s father during their escape from custody. Set in the 1890s, a lot of the comedy is based on anachronistic humor (with Brisco coming across things like a tank, motorcycles, a machine gun, and a Zeppelin airship), but after a while the gimmicks get a little ridiculous and lose some of their charm. Also, the show’s inclusion of strong minority characters (in the Old West) sets a rather odd tone. Yet overall the eccentricities and campiness end up making for a fun and wildly entertaining ride. But sadly the ride didn’t last long, as _The Adventures of Brisco County Jr._ was abruptly cancelled after one season, however it quickly gained a cult status and continues to find audiences.
