Media filled weekend

So we spent part of last evening watching the pilot of The Adventures of Brisco County, Junior. ...who knew? Go Netflix! I gather this was one of shows that lasted about three weeks sometime in the 90s. Sigh for the what-could-have-been!

Meanwhile, for those following along with the Sharon Lee and Steve Miller StellarCon interview by link:

Brisco ROCKS!!! I was watching my friend's set until we moved, now I lust and covet my own DVD cool-ection.

The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr. actually went for a season and a half (27 episodes). There's a box-set available if you want to see the whole thing -- I recommend it.

Yep, I loved Brisco County Jr. Friends told me I had to watch it, back when it was still on the air in reruns.

It was sort of the opposite of Firefly, in that Brisco County was a Science Fiction show done in a Western setting, whereas Firefly was more of a Western done in a SF setting.

This may not be accurate, but I remember watching the first season --which dealt with a complete story of The Hero's Revenge type-- and another season which wasn't as interesting. I always regarded the first season as an example of where to stop before the series jumps the shark.
