Sounds like a good summer to watch all the episodes again.....Nevr missed this when I was a kid.
 
First Bronson dies and now the guy who played him does. Time is passing us all by.

It is a good time to watch the series again this summer.

Thanks Donson, I would have missed this.
 
He was one of my favorite actors and quite possibly the single best actor I've ever seen. His role as the old pimp in Kill Bill 2 was fascinating.
 
Netflix doesn't have it. Where do you catch it?

Warner Bros remastered and re-released the Pilot movie. You can order on Amazon, among other places.
The best place to find the 26 episodes is on E-Bay. Only Bootleg copies are available, and quality varies .
WE (the Bronson Garage) have noticed that the price gouging has already begun.

You're welcome!
 
On the way to a RTE last weekend I remembered that if I sing in my helmet, nobody can hear me... I was rocking that theme song.
"... I've got some friends I'd like to see again."
 
I saw a very young Michael Parks on a Perry Mason rerun a couple of nights ago. He was appearing with Betty Davis and it was a contrast between a legendary queen of Hollywood and and young star who we know went on to great things. I love picking out all the old stars and cars in 1950s B&W reruns.
 
He was in a couple of the Quintin Tarantino movies in the past few years, Quintin must have been a fan.

Bummer. I made it a point to watch Then Came Bronson every week, when I wore a younger mans clothes.
 
My friend Josh granted permission to share this video about Michael.

Sidewinder clips show some great 70's motocross and bikes. I remember the series a little. Will watch them all to check out the dusty tracks, short suspension, and open face helmets, just like I remember. Wasn't much polish on budget racing in the 70's. Parks is cool like always.
