Trivia
On the special DVD featurette, Bruce Campbell commented "it was the most exhausting, physically demanding year of my life. It was also the best." The other cast members all shared similar sentiments.

Goofs
Brisco's Chinese friends often talk to him about "fortune cookies." These confections were called fortune tea cakes before the 1940s and were not connected with California's Chinese culture until that same time period.

Quotes
Brisco County Jr.: Correct me if I'm wrong, Pete - weren't you killed in a gunfight?
Pete Hutter: I was only gut shot. I'm stronger now with less appetite.

A Reinvented Western

Adventures took the TV Western in a direction that hadn't been seen since Maverick and The Wild Wild West: light-hearted comedy. As an additional twist, they tossed in the TV-parodying elements of Maverick (we see 'Dr. Quintano, Medicine Woman' and Terry Bradshaw leading a team of football players/bounty hunters), and the futuristic (by 1890's standards) gizmos of the West (motorcycles, dirigibles). Throw in the story arc of John Bly, master villain of the future, and you've got a story that is a very weird blend of so many elements its hard to describe. Bruce Campbell show she has the stuff to be a series regular, but another strength of Adventures... is the continuity and the supporting cast - many of which are given a chance to show up often and get some character development. Catch it on TNT.
