BraveStarr
There was a time when westerns dominated TV, but that time came to a close after Star Wars arrived. To make an animated western series like BraveStarr interesting to ‘80s kids now obsessed with spaceships and robots, the distant planet of New Texas (I kid you not) was a retro-futuristic world where cowboys and poachers rode around on flying robotic hover horses and cattle. Absolutely absurd, but for some reason, flying horses felt more plausible and attainable to me than Star Wars’ Speeder bikes ever did.
