1960s TV show 'Then Came Bronson' fuels America's passion for adventure and travel

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” 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 — 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. Show notes (website)
