    The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr (TV series)

    Well worked my way through all 27 episodes... Of course it's cheesy and hammy. In fact it's almost pantomime at times. But generally good fun and with Bruce Campbell it really can't fail!

    Now onto Jack of All Trades...
    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    I've been meaning to see this, but have thus far never got around to it. Is it available on R2 DVD?

    It was good fun all around (I do remember, as I'd only watched it during its original run)and the show's theme is still played for Olympic highlights and other sports venues.

    I've watched "Jack Of All Trades" recently (made about 6yrs after Brisco), and although watchable, it didn't have as much charm as Brisco IMHO.

    I don't remember Jack of All Trade all that well, and besides Brisco had Kelly Rutherford as Dixie Cousins; whom I had a major-uh- crush on. And that theme, of course.

    The theme tune to Jack Of All Trades was great!
