jsteven117 This series was closer to Route 66 on a motorcycle then it was to Easyrider. Also the motorcycle used in it was a Harley Davidson Sportster not a Norton. I agree that the series was cancelled to soon and would also like to see reruns of it. Michael Parks has always been an excellent actor, good at performing roles that are a little quirky. Many people probably do not recall that Martin Sheen played the friend that committed suicide in the first episode and that it was his motorcycle that Bronson toured the country with. I saw this show when I was young but later watched the reruns, I have not seen it recently though.

lockwood-10 I saw the movie back in 1975 and remember the television series. This had to do with the 60's freedom and yearning to just step back from life and enjoy. I enjoyed both the show and the movie and have not seen them in over 30 years. I would like to see them again for the value of that time period. I saw Michael Parks in From Dust till Dawn and was surprised to see him again. I recommend this movie for the young at heart. I want both of my kids, Nathan and Ryann to catch this also. It is a clean movie and catch Martin Sheen in a very early role. They just don't make movies like this anymore. Sit back one night and enjoy this one. It is a winner...

dbking-2 I must have been in the summer of 1969 when a friend of mine said that he had heard that they were filming an episode of Then Came Bronson near by. We were born and raised in Pueblo, Colorado. So the 4 of us jumped in the car, I was to young to drive but my friend wasn't, along with my cousin who was visiting from Utah away we went to find Bronson. In the mountains of Colorado during the summer they film a lot of movies so we had to go from Hotel to Hotel in Canon City to find him, finally some one knew where he was in a rented house in some neighborhood that I couldn't find again if I had to. We pulled up in the driveway and out he came, he was friendly beyond what any of us could imagine. We sat with him and watched the Johnny Cash Show and ate carrot sticks. He was such a great guy to be so kind to a bunch of kids, none of us has ever forgotten the day or the guy. I think that the show was so popular with young men because this guy was free, just going from town to town helping people, meeting people, but it was all so simple then our generation thought we could save the world. You live on Michael, live on brother.

tightspotkilo In the fall of 1969 I was in the US Navy going to a technical school that had begun several months before, and would go on for a few more months. School was 8 hours a day. At night we huddled in the TV room in our WWII vintage barracks, around an old 21" black and white, 25 guys trying to agree on one station, one show. Football, Star Trek reruns, and the World Series were no-brainers.Bronson had to grow on us, and it quickly did. It was definitely a product of the era. Route 66 for the Vietnam generation. A precursor to Easy Rider. The great wide open. There was something to the show that grabbed you, if you were of a certain age. And 19, which was my age, was the right age. Everybody I knew who was of that age and who watched this show loved it. Not many others did.But the creators of this show were a day late and a dollar short. I can't fault them too much though, because in those days many ideas were hatched on TV in an effort to glom onto the supposed youth market, but failing. It was a demographic that was on the move, and not sitting in front of a TV set night in and night out, week in and week out.Our group finished school in December, 1969, and off we went, most of us to the fleet. Some to Vietnam. Others to other places, anywhere and everywhere around the world. We watched Bronson religiously for the first 2-1/2 months of its run. We never saw it again. At least I know I haven't. But strangely it is nevertheless remembered by those who had the good fortune to catch it while they could.I don't know why it doesn't pop up in reruns, somewhere on cable once in a while.
