Y'all apparently wanted geekery about The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr, so here I will provide. Now you have no excuse not to write me fic.

(But first, a note: Many (but not all) of the screencaps and (all) of the promo photos in this pimp post are from gypsyjr, who is pretty much the only person I found online who had taken Brisco screencaps, which saved me a lot of bother. Three cheers!)

The Adventures of Brisco County, Junior

One part Indiana Jones, one part Looney Tunes, one part John Wayne, one part...er, whatever else the writers were smoking on any given week. (One of the special features on the DVD set is basically all the writers sitting around and gossiping about what writing the show was like. For instance, one of the writers did Elvis impersonations when ordering takeout at three in the morning in the middle of writing marathons. This eventually resulted in Sheriff Aaron Viva.) But anyway! ...on to the cast.


( 'Uh-oh. You hit the sheriff.' 'Yeah, but I didn't hit the deputy.'Collapse )

I've seen this movie. It hits Paris.
Every plot they could fit into a Western, oh, they fit it in. They do And Then There Were None. They do Psycho. They do Stagecoach. They do "every Errol Flynn pirate movie ever." Watergate. Elvis impersonators. "The Ransom of Red Chief." And if they can't get a whole episode plot out of it, it'll be a running joke. And when they pick up a joke, they do run with it. (DUELING AIR BANJOS, GO!)

...dammit, guys, I had managed to ignore how much I love this show because I had finished watching it and hadn't squeezed the DVDs into my budget yet. And now I'm all filled with happy love again. <3 <3 <3

Last one, I swear. (Until I do the comparison picspam where Robin and Darien have a hair war.)

( A few more things I forgot to mention.Collapse )

( And that best part I promised, eyecandy.Collapse )

So there you have it: Robin of Sherwood, in very few words but many, many pictures. Any further lack of inclination to watch this show on your part is entirely your fault, and cannot be blamed on my lack of trying.

But how can you forget the villains?

( What's a Robin Hood without a good villain?Collapse )

But wait! The best is yet to come.

The Merries do a lot of unnecessary touching. A lot.

( Like always.Collapse )

( But even without the unnecessary touching they are awesome.Collapse )

You thought we were finished? Think again.

It has come to my attention that the vast majority of my flist does not know the awesome that is Robin of Sherwood. But you really, really ought to. So why should you watch Robin of Sherwood, you ask? But why shouldn't you? It's got everything!

( Everything, I tell you!Collapse )

( What, that's not enough for you?Collapse )

( How about the ridiculously adorable camraderie?Collapse )

Awesome, you say? Why yes, yes it is. But I am not done.

and it is all nostalgia_lj's fault. (But when is it not?)

notshep. Not anti-Sheppard, just...for SGA stuff without him, since he seems to have taken over fandom and there are at least a few of us who dislike that. Nos is doing a Borg/Wraith comparison meta, and I'll write up my neo-colonialism wank sometime today.

Go! Join! Meta! Fic! Anything!
