hedwards: It's a really tough call because some series do get canceled too early. Firefly could have gone on for a few more seasons easily, had they done it at the time. Brisco County Jr., could have easily gone at least another season of two.
OTOH, sometimes the people making the shows don't really understand why people are watching them or try to keep them going when it would be better to just let them die.
gooberking: Brisco County Jr.? That was a while ago. I didn't think anybody saw that one but me. I've been seeing it on DVD at Walmart for next to nothing, and I keep wondering if it's a good or bad idea to pick it up.
It's actually quite good. I think the main reason it got canceled was that it was an extremely expensive show to film. But, the writing and the production values were quite good.
IIRC, that one was originally on Fox, which is probably why it got canceled. Fox is quite good at canceling shows too early due to executive incompetence and greed.

Breja: I loved that show. I'm a huge Bruce Campbell fan, and that was some of his best work. Seeing how good he's doing with the Evil Dead revival I'd love to see more of Brisco County.
I doubt we'll get another Brisco County Jr. as a TV show. I just don't think that he's up to the physical demands of the show. If you watch the commentary on the DVD set, he was working basically 7 days a week through the entire thing between the actual work on the show and the work promoting the show.
But yeah, the Evil Dead and Brisco County Jr. are pretty much what made his reputation. He's done other stuff and been quite good at it, but I think if you bring up his name one off those two roles are probably the first things most people are going to think of.

RWarehall: It's Bruce Campbell. It's good if just for him! For next to nothing, well worth picking up.
I see Bruce Campbell attached to a project and I reflexively watch it. He's been rather impressive over the years.
