To me, this movie is perfection.

Tied for the best movie I have ever seen

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

Brisco County was truly *different*, something television so seldom does and when it does, so seldom gets right. They got it right in spades with this goofy, off-beat series. If you like clever humor and good writing with a little weirdness thrown into the mix, this series may be for you. It's a western, but don't let that fool you. The anachronisms alone are worth watching it for - the blimp episode with comments about "Stairway to Heaven". Brisco yelling, "pull over, pull over!" to someone speeding through town - on horseback! The episodes with Terry Bradshaw. It was a breath of fresh air with a fabulous cast. Special kudos to Bruce Campbell and Julius Carry and an honorable mention to Billy Drago. Buy it on DVD.

A fun series that was just too good to last, with a great assemblage of wonderful character actors including the King, Bruce Campbell (Praise Him)! Includes several guest starring appearance by the original Gomez Addams, John Astin. A lot like the original "Wild Wild West" and just as inventive. Although it's set in the Wild West, it's no more a 'western' than that series was. Speaking of inventions, many that would rival anything Q came up with for Bond were featured, although of course they were rustic in keeping with the time frame of the series. It was interesting to see how the creators/writers worked anachronistic inventions, mostly by Astin as a "mad scientist" type, into the plots. From one of the creators of "Lost" and just as inventive! This was a fun series that I recall fondly.

I totally agree with the shape23's comments. I first saw TAoBCJ back in about 94/95 when it was first aired in the UK and really liked it. I have recently downloaded the series and watched it again 10 years later. I now see far more than I did then, the chemistry of the cast is superb between Brisco, Bowler, Socrates and Dixie. You can see how the relationships have formed due to the 'adventures' they have shared. If I had to give this series a liking, it would be an Indiana Jones cowboy series, where the violence is enough to set the scene but not graphic, the humour is enough but not distracting from the story, the stories & plots enough to ensure you forget the historical inaccuracies and see a really good family programme. Unfortunately only released on video shortly after its TV release, its gonna be released on DVD supposedly in the summer of 2006 ( follow this link for more details http://www.tvshowsondvd.com/newsitem.cfm?NewsID=4615 ). I suspect this release will be on R1 only. A great pity unless you have a multiregion player, but then this series is worth the cost of investing in one.I am now sitting down to watch it again, this time with my stepson who is curious to see "whats it all about". After all who doesn't enjoy a good cowboy.

Fox did a lot of build-up before the series premiere, I remember the interviews and ads. Their Friday night line-up of Briscoe, followed by the X-Files gave us a reason to enjoy staying home Friday nights by the TV.The Briscoe series went for 3 seasons I thought??? I remember two cliff-hangers for the next seasons. But what kept us watching was how beautiful the coloring was - brilliant and bold, well lit - and the excellent sense of humor as the show was loaded with puns. The series was ageless in that there wasn't the profanity (but adult inuendo did exist, albeit funny) and blood and gore. The casting was excellent, and included guest stars. You have to see the Elvis impersonation... in 1893!I can't say enough for the series. If it were on DVD today I would buy it tomorrow. I would not be uncomfortable if my young daughter would watch it, and I would still be looking for the puns. If you haven't seen it, might take 2 or 3 episodes to understand the character dynamics between Briscoe, his horse, Doc, Lord Bowler and Dixie - but it is well worth it!
