A bit of a long shot here but does anybody know the correct viewing order for The Adventures of Brisco County Jr?

Submitted by KneeHighMischief t3_11m26rs in television

Like a lot of shows of this era the show aired slightly out of order. It's not the most egregious example of it by any means. There's a character who "dies" & comes back but his shocking return is shown after a later episode featuring him. There's a couple other story beats that don't play out smoothly as well.
The order on the DVD release doesn't really improve on this. Going off the production order also seems to have similar issues. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Maybe? I don't think so though. The example above about the character They refer to events in an episode that hasn't been shown yet. It airs eventually. There's a few other things that happened like that during the run of the show.

Last I checked the series was available on tubi, but I'm not sure if the episodes are in proper order. Hope this helps.

Yeah, after several rewatches I put together the best chronological order to watch the show in. After running into the same problems you had... the DVDs had them wrong, and the show was originally aired way out of order (thanks to FOX).

Very cool. Fox is probably the worst culprit all these years later. I remember watching Almost Human when it aired & not really caring for it too much. I watched it a couple years later in the right order & it made a huge difference. Events in the pilot were followed up on in the second episode which they ran as the eighth episode.

> Brisco County is a person, not a location. He's a Harvard-educated lawyer who decides he doesn't like practicing law and changes his career to -- what else? -- bounty hunting. Complete with sidekick Lord Bowler and trusty horse Comet, Brisco also hunts his father's murderer in this tongue-in-cheek series, set in 1893.
