*Spoiler/plot- The Adventures of Brisco County Jr, The Brooklynn Dodgers. Brisco and Bowler get involved with a pair of kids going to San Francisco to claim their inheritance of millions in a gold mine. A group of Brooklyn gang thugs follow them and try to get the money for themselves along the way.
*Special Stars-Bruce Campbell, Julius Carry, Christain Clemenson, Mercedes McNab, Michael Cade, Clyde Kusatsu, Devon O'Brien.
*Theme- Logical thinking and deduction can help criminal investigations.
*Trivia/location/goofs- A pair of gangsters kill a victim with Mauser c/96 "Broomhandle" automatic pistols. The show is set in 1893, but these pistols weren't manufactured until 1896. During the climactic scene, Brisco and Bowler pursue the lead gangster who is armed with a Mauser c/96 "Broomhandle" pistol. This weapon carries ten shots. During the chase, he fires twelve shots and never has a moment to reload. All of this must have been the start of Janet Reno's clampdown on TV violence in the early to mid 1990's, when suddenly cops and detectives were making miraculous shots from their guns shooting the pistols from their adversaries hands instead of wounding them or killing them like what they used to do, and what happens in real life. She may have wanted to cut down on the violence kids were exposed to, but all she did was make the world seem as imitation to real life as the Saturday Morning cartoons do when every character who does careens off a 2-mile high cliff comes back the next scene only slightly the worse for wear.
*Emotion- An exceptional episode with clever sci-fi or fantasy plot elements, and as such the plot seemed very engaging and exciting. plenty enough surprise, action, comedy or drama. Unique and clever western fare.
*Based On- The producers and writers wanted to recreate the entertainment of the 30s-50s theatrical cliff-hanger film serials. Most were westerns or sci-fi. They succeeded.
