The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr. is a short-lived western television series with science fiction elements set in the 1890s, starring Bruce Campbell as Brisco County, Jr. It combined elements of the science fiction Western and steampunk genre. It was one of the few Western shows aired in the 1990s.

Brisco County, Jr. is hunting down the John Bly Gang, who murdered his father. By the end of the series, only ten members of the 13-member gang were seen to be captured by Brisco on screen. In episode 20, "Bye Bly," Brisco and Bowler mention several times that they caught all of Bly's gang. Those seen captured are:

Throughout the series, a recurring theme is the large golden "orb" that Bly is searching for. By the end of the series, it is revealed that Bly is from the 25th century and the orb is from the 56th century, and that Bly wants the orb so he can use its power to return to his time "and rule the world".

Two Mare's Leg pistol props from the show were later reused in the science fiction television series Firefly as a rifle by the character Zoe Washburne.
