Hit the open road with Jim Bronson in this deep dive into the cult classic 1969–1970 NBC adventure-drama series Then Came Bronson. Starring Michael Parks as a disillusioned newspaper reporter who quits his job, buys a Harley-Davidson Sportster, and sets out across America searching for meaning after the suicide of his best friend (played by Martin Sheen), Then Came Bronson remains one of the most poetic and free-spirited shows of its era.On this episode of The Tom Gulley Show, we explore the pilot film, the single 26-episode season, the iconic “Long Lonesome Highway” theme sung by Michael Parks, the counterculture spirit of the late 1960s, guest stars, stunt work, why the series was canceled, and why it still resonates with motorcycle riders and classic TV fans today. Hang in there — the long lonesome highway is calling.
