This show only last 11 episodes, in 1986-87, but they're episodes I remember fondly.
In 1886 Texas, Sheriff John Grail tracks down four outlaw cowboys. Before anything can happen, a weird force comes out of the sky and zaps them to 1986! When they get there, they form a detective agency and solve crimes (OK, not right away, but they find it's the only thing they can do), all the while trying to adjust to all the new inventions and culture of the modern world.

At some point Hollywood is going to run out of TV shows to remake into movies, but until that happens, you can look forward to a big screen adaptation of the popular 1970s series
Kung Fu, which featured David Carradine as a monk living in the Wild West. Now, usually these adaptations aren't really worth seeing, but the
Kung Fu movie has at least one good thing going for, which is that the screenplay was written by Ed Spielman (the creator of the original series) and another writer from the original series,
Howard Friedlander. Apparently, the movie will explore the origins of the characters from the TV show.Posted May 12th 2006 2:59PM by Bob Sassone

In news that might be kind of a shock for fans, it looks like the upcoming third season of
Deadwood might be the last.
HBO is letting the cast "explore their options," which bascially means that they are free to consider other options. In fact, creator/writer David Milch is exploring his own option, concentrating on a new surfer drama for HBO titled
John From Cincinnati.
More on this as it develops ...

I think I'm going to cry.
One of my favorite
TV shows,
The Adventures of Brisco Country, Jr., is
finally coming to DVD! And this isn't some quickly put
together first season, with little or no extras, this is a release of the entire series on one day! With tons of
extras, including commentaries from Bruce Campbell and Carlton Cuse, documentaries, featurettes, a writers reunion, and
special interactive features hosted by Campbell himself.
Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go put away
$100.00.
