then came bronson openning

[sleazyweaz]

After an hour on a Sportster the guy in the station wagon is going to wish he had his station wagon back. Better yet he should trade in the wagon for a Softail or an Ultra. Then he'll wish he was Bronson.

This show along with Easy Riders and Hunter Thompsons "Hells Angels" opened the road for my life...Thanks for all the great rides and adventures, its been a Hell of a ride so far and yes a long strange trip!!

[woof359]

we were just at the Bixby Bridge, took me 40 some years but worht it.

[Mrmikemike46]

REALLY LOVED THIS SHOW!



[IVIIIVV]

Used to love this show but had totally forgotten about it. Even though the building I worked in was on the corner of Hollywood and Bronson, it didn't even trigger a memory then.

[rrdross69]

Once again, Great memories.

Thank You:):):)

I am from Russia. Many American online retailers refuse to ship goods program in Russia since Russia is a very bad running mail and parcel may be lost or arrive in two months.

[maskedman72]

[SLACKER614]

i loved this show when growing up..wathced every episode...still do..i guess i will have to buy the DVD series..if available

[creolelady182]

Still after 40 years-I still get the chills when I see this opening. When it first came on I was 14

[PERIZ99]

This was a great show...

[johnny01031955]

I loved this show, looking at the intro, I can't help but think of the intro of the "Mad Magazine" satire! "taking a trip?" "No, this is a regular cigarette I'm smoking!" I loved the show and had the LP and the "eyes". A girl at school's dad had something to do with the show and she brought the "anuit coeptis" Mason's symbol stickers to school and I still have mine somewhere. I'm thinking the best episode was the one which guest-starred Keenan Wynn.Thanks for the memories this post engendered.

[profpopsicle]

I lived for that show when I was a kid, would chase everyone out of the room and study every word. Michael Parks is sooo cool.

[Selaretus]

I have a Sporty today because of that show when I was a kid.

[musicandmovieguy55]

The few episodes that made up this wonderful series are TV treasures to me.....Nice to know people have not forgotten the show. As I feel about many TV shows of the 50's and 60's - the really beautiful and sensitive music that was written for the show and its theme - does alot to establish the sensitivity of the series and its very well written and directed eps. Music that is memorable. The wonderful west coast scenery was a real treat for a viewer, too!

[ff85258]

ahh those were the days

[Riffster68]

I used to re-enact the 'opening scene' w/my friends on my Honda 150 and sleeping bag when I was 16. (extremely cheesed out) Great teen memories.

[shepboy62]

There's a Michael Parks fan site: michaelparks4u with clips of "Then Came Bronson" along with his other movies and TV appearances. There's still quite a following of TCB fans out there - was a great how! (oh and add dot com after the above URL site).

[DesiluTrek]

Another series brought to TV by studio executive Herbert Solow, who sold Star Trek, Mission: Impossible and Mannix. This was his first series after leaving Desilu/Paramount.

[ftsjr]

A very good show. It was kind of like "Route 66" on two wheels.

[mengle2004]

I have a 68 Ironhead like this one...would not want to take a long trip on it. LOL

[Carballoca]

I had such a crush ( hell still do ) lol on him I wanted to run away and go find him and the tender age of 14....LOL!!!

[isortparcels]

Takin' a trip ? Yea Fuck You !!

[AlphonseZukor]

Isn't that the guy that played the Mexican pimp in "Kill Bill Vol. 2"?

[ndogg20]

@AlphonseZukor .Yes thats the mexican pimp in KIll Bill 2 ,AND the sheriff in KIll Bill 1 !

[Sundancetr4]

I never missed this show, BUT it did stretch things when he would enter hill climbs and motocrosses, All using the 'same ' Harley. But did change to an off road bike and a stretched wheelbased hill climber, BUT still had the same emblem on the tank. Still it was a great show.

[bigbadredsox]

OMG, I haven't the likes of this for 35+ years, great show!

[tc88sufi]

Ha! I think of this show every time I'm on the road ('04 Harley RKC). Rode across the bridge seen here on the most recent trek, 12,550 miles from August 19 to November 5. Ride safe, ride far!

[thekondrat]

'll show where I can download this series?

[ToeIn2194]

I LOVE THIS! Total,late 60's nostalgia.Romance with American landscape and dreaming of possibilities.Oh,I hate these times.Thank you for this beautiful music,scenery and memory of my great late 60's generation.

[BY1NO1]

This was one of my favorites shows. I still have two record albums that Michael Parks recorded.

[TralfazConstruction]

Have always remembered that exchange between Bronson and the Driver. Late '60s icon. The fevered restlessness of the 'War' on TV, the ongoing deciphering of what Woodstock meant and Neil Armstrong's "One Small Step". Forty years. Where did they go?

[giles422]

very cool

[FTWEVERYONE]

Great Show. "Like I said,you don't WORK...you don't eat".

[thekondrat]

perhaps someone knows where you can download all the episodes from this series?

[RyeGrog]

I was 7 when this tv series came out. I liked it a lot. 1969 was a the best year of that decade. Apollo 11 and Then Came Bronson.

[terryjohn]

@RyeGrog 1969 i was 8 yep. but just think look today it seems no differnt respect wise maybe gone.but we can still ride motorcycles and dont break down.

[jdbaes]

The fall of `69............hard to believe it`s 40 years..............I still feel this is one of the most imaginative and creative openings to a TV show in memory, and the music is very peaceful. Thanks for posting.

[terryjohn]

terry

[terryjohn]

@jdbaes I Agree from somebody who might not think who he was in the UK
