I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Lack of good storyline.

Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

Not a surprise this came out around the huge biker craze started but this one stands on its own. For me it was just too cut and paste and not enough substance.This story seemed to have a lot of promise but what you end up with is not a lot of talking and a lot scenes of Michael Parks riding around on a bike with Bonnie Bediala. Obviously this guy is tired of his life. He loses a friend to suicide then buys his friends bike from his wife, quits his job and decides to ride the bike to...wherever. This is nice and all and most guys wanna do this in real life but in between all this....there has to be substance. In this, there isn't much.We never really learn anything about who he is except he's searching for something. Nothing in depth about his past life or his experiences in life. Just the "loner" bike guy traveling the roads to...wherever. Bonnie Bediala injects some life into this but not enough to cover for both her and Michael Parks. Going from town to town with each a new experience gets old. They never get into each others lives as to why they are...where they are.There are some nice scenes of the roadways traveling and the theme song is fantastic but it doesn't make up for a lack of detail this film needed. I can see why the TV series lasted only one season. There's just no depth.Nice idea/effort but a little dry and flat....like a Coke that's been sittin' out on the counter over night.

Like the other reviewers, I saw the series at a seminal time, when I'd just graduated from college, and was very influenced by it. However, having just watched the European release of the pilot on DVD, what struck me was the similarity to Easy Rider (SPOILER ALERT!) Remember the early scene in which Fonda and Hopper stop at a rural adobe farm house occupied by an old friend and his poor, but happy Hispanic family? There's an extremely similar family in Bronson. One character in Bronson is also philosophical artist, very similar to a few of the zen hippies encountered in East Rider. Also, the ultimate destination of both traveling teams is New Orleans. That's a minor similarity, but still, I think, shows much of Easy Rider was inspired by Then Came Bronson.I rated the pilot an 8, but I give it a 10 if Bonnie's character had a reunion with Michael Parks' on PARENTHOOD and they rode off together on a Harley. (full-dresser trike at their age, of course)

Then Came Bronson along with Kung Fu, Wanted Dead or Alive and Have Gun, Will Travel are of the ages old hero adventure story that are void on TV today. The very same heroes adventure as in Luke Skywalker and unwitting Hans Solo in STAR WARS The hero never begins the adventure along a path broken by another. The hero always enters the unknown woods by breaking a new path. On that adventure he must be honest and honorable without desire or fear of death. The hero has compassion for his fellow man. Many times he acts in the way of the Bodhisattva. Mahayana Buddhism regards the Bodhisattva as a person who already has a considerable degree of enlightenment and seeks to use their wisdom to help other human beings to become liberated themselves. In this understanding of the word the Bodhisattva is an already wise person who uses skillful means to lead others to see the benefits of virtue and the cultivation of wisdom.I believe we need some TV shows of this type. We all need to live this way. All these mentioned TV shows have etched lasting memories into my mind. I have always and still try to live up to high standards of compassion, agape, and try to lessen the misery in the world. It all started with a few TV shows.

"Then Came Bronson" was the baby boomer's introduction to buy and ride motorcycles. After being discharged from the Marine Corp and wanting to just enjoy my life and freedom in this country and this show came on a few years after my adjusting to civilian life I was hooked from the first show. I bought 3 motorcycle within 5 yrs the 3rd was a Harley Davidson Sportster very much like the one used on this show. I am also surprised this show hasn't been on the cable channels. It would be a nice change from the shows that most cable channels run over and over until the viewers know the lines of the characters like they are reading the scripts. The show was very peaceful, just a guy that wanted to see this great country and meet some of the people that live here. Most people you mention this show to from that era remember it and seem to feel it would be enjoyed by a whole new and much younger audience now and I certainly agree with that.
