The Coming Thing: Brisco County, Jr.

[valoise]

Back in the early 1990s Bruce Campbell gave the perfect campy western hero in the sci-fi, steampunk classic, The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr. Earlier this year I picked up the dvd box set and watched them one after another, loving it all over again.

One of the vid themes I wanted to pursue was Brisco's search the the 'coming thing'. Ideally, I was looking for something that had both sf and western undertones. This lead me to Bob Liddiard's TV Cowboy Game Theme, combining a cowboy tune with zippy video game noises.

franzeska and vchrusch were kind enough to give the first draft a quick beta for me.

So, here's a tribute to the show that made me love Bruce Campbell.

So awesome!!! You have no idea how happy I was to see a Brisco vid. Yay! You captured that coming thing, feeling the future on the horizon, and the light-hearted, quirky, fun feel of the show wonderfully. Love it!

Yippy Ki Ya, that was great! And now I want to watch the whole series from the beginning, too. Because I missed way too many episodes!

Like all series there's the great eps and the boring ones. But the dialog's usually good even when the plot is weak. Wish this streamed on Netflix or Hulu.
