I used love that show. Never missed an episode 👍
Michael Parks was one of my favorite actors. . Bronson is the role he will always be known for, though he played a great variety of roles, but always seemed to be the calm centered type, even when playing the bad guy. Then Came Bronson was probably the inspiration for a whole generation of motorcycle riders. Mad Magazine even did a parody of the show -

I was just a kid when that show came on. I thought it was the coolest show ever!
Same here! Hard to believe it only ran for one season. RIP (Ride In Peace) Michael!
Back then I thought that show was so cool that it would be on forever!
I was one of the generation inspired by "Then Came Bronson". I was nine years old in 1969 when it came out. During the opening credits, he rode out of the fog on a bridge. My dad told me it was somewhere around Big Sur, California. I later learned it was the Bixby Bridge.
Many years later I rode from Illinois to California. I spent a long weekend in Central CA and then took off north on the Pacific Coast Highway. I came upon the Bixby Bridge and crossed it, turned around and crossed it again, and then crossed it once more...I was really remembering Bronson on that day!
Well done parrotHD, would have been nice to have had someone taken your picture. Oh well sometimes the memories we have in are mind are just as good or even better than a photograph.
When the show was running on TV I owned my first motorcycle and I really connected with the character Jim Bronson. My family didn't care for the show but knew how much I enjoyed it so it was a regular.
