Hired by local robber barons, Harvard Law Graduate Brisco County, Jr. searches for the members of the infamous John Bly gang, the same men who killed his father, a famous marshal and western legend. Accompanied by his one-time rival and fellow bounty hunter Lord Bowler, Brisco rides through the West trying to bring his father's killers to justice. Along the way, he encounters mysterious golden orbs with strange abilities and colorful characters who help or hinder his mission as he hunts down the Bly gang one by one.

| Billy Drago | .... | John Bly |

beluga and I had our 'Evil Dead' marathon this summer I started talking about the series, and she actually went out and found it for me. :DLord Bowler: Uh oh. You hit the sheriff
Brisco County Jr.: Yeah, but I did not hit the deputy.
And there are great quotes, which I always enjoy! :D ( More Quotes )
Long story short, I'm easily amused. We're about halfway through the second disc at the moment (out of four), am thinking it won't take to long to get through the rest. Having fun while doing it too.

Brisco's horse was billed in the credits as "Comet the Wonder Horse", and named Comet in the show, with the implication that he was the smartest character on the show.
Am very happy to have my own copy of this show, as it brings back some good memories, and it's actually quite a bit of fun. :D
Any of you familiar with the series, come and reminisce with me.

Stop a hundred horror junkies in the street and ask them for the best horror film of all time and you can be sure at least half will pipe up with one of Sam Raimi's glorious Evil Dead films. While we at the Empire office may wrangle (and occasionally strangle) over which of the three is the better film, there's no denying that this gory triumvirate proved definitively that a) Raimi is a god among men b) Bruce Campbell is the most underrated actor alive and c) plasticine is a LOT scarier than we were led to believe as children.
Bearing all this in mind, you will perhaps be both overjoyed and mortified to learn that the iconic Evil Dead has been added to the remake roster. Before you panic, it's worth mentioning that Raimi, Campbell and original producing partner Rob Tapert will be overseeing the project so it's certainly in safe hands. The downside though, is that Raimi won't be directing.
On the one hand, updating a classic with modern technology seems like a good idea but, with Evil Dead, the low tech approach was one of its charms. You wouldn't go into the Louvre and start redoing Monet's work as Magic Eye drawings now would you? No you wouldn't, because the French would have your eyes. The same holds true here. Oh we're fascinated to see what they come up with but, even with Raimi at the wheel, this would be a risky proposition and without him? Well, things do not bode well.
Its unclear whether Campbell will return to play Ashly 'Ash' Williams, but the thought of anyone else taking up the boomstick is almost too terrible to contemplate.
( How I feel, in case you haven't guessed... )
