The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr. is an American
Western/
science fiction television series created by
Jeffrey Boam and
Carlton Cuse. It ran for 27 episodes on the
Fox network starting in the 1993–94 season. Set in the
American West of 1893, the series follows its
title character, a Harvard-educated lawyer-turned-
bounty hunter hired by a group of wealthy industrialists to track and capture outlaw John Bly and his gang.
Bruce Campbell plays Brisco, who is joined by a colorful group of supporting characters, including
Julius Carry as fellow bounty hunter Lord Bowler and
Christian Clemenson as stick-in-the-mud lawyer Socrates Poole. While ostensibly a Western, the series routinely includes elements of the science fiction and
steampunk genres. The series earned high ratings at the beginning of its season, but later episodes failed to attract a substantial number of viewers. Fox canceled the show at the end of its first and only season. In 2006, Warner Home Video released a DVD set containing all 27 episodes, which was anticipated by fans and critics. The series has been remembered fondly by critics, who praise its humor and unique blend of genres. (more...)
The record for the most wins of the Football Association Challenge Cup, commonly known as the FA Cup, is held by
Manchester United with eleven victories, followed by
Arsenal with ten and
Tottenham Hotspur(1921 win pictured) with eight. The winners of
the first tournament were
Wanderers, a team of former
public schoolboys based in
London, who went on to win the competition five times in its first seven seasons. The early winners of the competition were all teams of wealthy amateurs from the south of England, but in the
1883 final,
Blackburn Olympic became the first team from the north to win the cup, defeating
Old Etonians. The cup has been won by the same team in two or more consecutive years on eight occasions, and three teams have won consecutive finals more than once: Wanderers,
Blackburn Rovers and Tottenham Hotspur. The cup is held by
Chelsea, who defeated
Liverpool in the
2012 final. (more...)
