Bravestarr
Eyes of the Hawk. Ears of the Wolf. Strength of the Bear. Speed of the Puma.
Despite its genius, Joss Whedon’s Firefly wasn’t the first TV space western; Bravestarr had got their first (actually Star Trek got their first but I’d rather not get into that right now).
This was probably the last of these sort of cartoons that I watched with any regularity. By the time this hit the TV screen I’d just about outgrown the genre.
The show centered around Native American Marshall Bravestarr and his friend 30/30 (a cybernetic talking horse with a gun fetish) who were Galactic Marshalls in charge of enforcing law on the rough tough planet of New Texas. Their arch enemy was Tex Hex and the Carrion Bunch. It conformed to all the standard formulas: one dimensional characters, inept comedy sidekicks (Deputy Fuzz, Outlaw Skuzz), and of course the obligatory moral message at the end. Ah, happy days.
