As a kid growing up in rural Missouri and later Arkansas, I loved watching the short-lived TV series, "Then Came Bronson." Then Came Bronson began with a TV pilot that aired on NBC on March 24, 1969; and was also released in Europe as a theatrical feature film. This was followed by a single season of 26 episodes airing between September 17, 1969, and April 1, 1970. There was a lot to fascinate a young boy at the time in the TV show. There was a sense of adventure in every episode. The central figure was James "Jim\\u201d Bronson, played by the actor Michael Parks, a newspaperman who seemed to have a keen sense of fixing practically every situation and circumstance he encountered along the road. Then there was, of course, the motorcycle he rode on his adventures \\u2014 1969 XLH 900cc Harley-Davidson Sportster. Join me today as we discuss the TV show and how it was a 1960s version of what we are witnessing today in the nomad movement.
