This
1990's show was a mix of classic western
adventure and scifi fantasy in that in 1893
Brisco County Jr is a lawyer turned bounty
hunter. Brisco spent much of his time attempting
to track down the evil John Bly and his gang who
had been behind the murder of Brisco's father
(who would often appear to Brisco in ghostly
form). On his bounty hunting missions Brisco was
most often teamed with (or really at loggerheads
with) the burly black Lord Bowler. Other
regulars included Brisco's sometime girlfriend
Dixie Cousins, lawyer Socrates Poole and nutty
inventor Professor Albert Wickwire.
The scifi theme came into play when Brisco
discovered a strange golden orb that John Bly
was deadly keen to get his hands on, midway
through the one season show Brisco discovered
that Bly was actually from the future (2506 in
fact) and needed the orb as part of his plan to
rule the world back in his own time. Brisco put
a stop to his plans by joining forces with
Carina, another time traveler, this time from
the year 5502.
At the series conclusion Brisco and Lord Bowler
had teamed up to become special agents working
exclusively for President Cleveland.
