But that's not what you're talking about here anyway. <br /><br /><i>I think I'm the only person who liked it. </i><br /><br />Nah, I liked it too. Your analysis is spot on: it had its flaws, but it also had some good points, and lots of potential. And it definitely seemed like a show that could grow into its potential. Some of those later episodes were especially good, and I even started to like the relationship between the daughter and her "loser" boyfriend. <br /><br />I too think I was turned off by the odd cross genre elements of <i>Briscoe County Jr.</i>, but even moreso than you: I don't think I ever watched anything more than commercials for it. I'd be interested in going back and watching it now sometime. <br /><br /><i>What I do remember is that this was one of the first super hero shows I remember taking a more realistic, serious approach. (Which, of course, blew my mind at the time.) </i><br /><br />Ditto. Though it has been many, many years since I last watched this too, I remember just being so thrilled with having a superhero show on TV, and to see it presented so realistically. Definitely one of those shows that added to my then-budding appreciation for superheroes and comic books.Austin Gortonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14281239771248780430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7266470995513648978.post-74155307542053578532012-01-27T09:05:14.989-06:002012-01-27T09:05:14.989-06:00Sarah said what i was gonna say.
