This was a tough call, do I include Brisco County Junior, or just throw Bruce Campbell under the Thor's Day Hero bus as a catch-all. In the end, as you may have guessed, I went with the dashing Harvard graduate turned bounty hunter.
The Adventures of Brisco County Junior was a great show, and in rare cross-genre genius it was two equal parts science fiction and western, with a pinch of steampunk thrown in for good measure. With Campbell at the helm, the jokes were fluid and plentiful. The action was pretty good, the sci-fi elements neat, and the whole affair was rolled up into a burrito well worth dining on. So welcome aboard Brisco, sorry we couldn't make room for Comet.
You know what my favorite Bruce Campbell movie was? No it was not the Army of Darkness ones, it was Bubba Hotep. Bruce Campbell plays the best Elvis.
ReplyDeleteHeh, that's a great one and if it wasn't for his, err, unsightly growth in the movie it would be a lot higher in my own rankings. There was a rumor about a Bubba Nosferatu in the works.
DeleteI swear I just saw the complete series on DVD at Costco. Even thought about getting it for a second.
ReplyDeleteI've got it and it's certainly worth picking up but I'm a tad biased.
DeleteI miss this show and his other Jack of All Trades. Costco, here I come!
ReplyDeleteJack of All Trades was great too! Though he's a supporting character Campbell is good in Burn Notice too. Now, off to Costco with ya!
