My guess, from working in TV twenty years ago, is that there are legal issues with the music that keeps them from distributing it.

This show is not readily available to stream, or even via Amazon, but at least five episodes are out there (links at the bottom) and the TV movie can be purchased on DVD. It didn't hurt that Bud actually looks a lot like the lead actor, too. They were able to make desert sleds fly in race situations, so getting a Sportster off the ground, or up a hill, for production was no big deal. Bud and Dave Ekins traveled with the production, with Bud coordinating the action and riding many of the stunts. Michael Parks, the star, did ride it in a lot of shots, but they called out the big guns for stunt work. It also had knobbies, as improbable as that seems. The motorcycle was a 1969 Harley Sportster (and some 1968 backups), fitted with a small sissy bar, over-under mufflers, and an all seeing eye decal on the bright red gas tank. There is a reason for this show's popularity and cult classic status, because out there on the road, on his own, Jim Bronson might not figure it all out, but he does manage to find some answers and live a good life. The show also took on issues like cults, drug and alcohol addiction, faith, man's relationship with nature, aging, and mortality. Though it wasn't heavy drama, there were occasionally life and death situations involved. The production would spend several weeks in one location, very rarely near L.A., and shoot 2-3 episodes at a time. But there is also plenty of time for various forms of motorcycle racing and riding, a surprising amount of it off road. She is only the first of many lost and lonely souls he helps in the course of the next 26 episodes. One of the first people he meets is a runaway Bonnie Bedelia, running into the ocean in her wedding dress. Just before killing himself, he gives Jim his motorcycle, which is enough of a push to get an already shaky Bronson to quit his job and hit the road.

But it was a case of writing what you know, and he already had a lifetime of stories from his first 40 years on earth, plus he knew another reporter who had done exactly that years earlier. Denne Petitclerc the creator, was by a former reporter himself, an orphan, and one of Earnest Hemingway's protege, who had only a handful of TV writing credits to his name. Into this zeitgeist, NBC greenlit a TV movie about a big city newspaper reporter who drops out of the rat race and rides off on his motorcycle looking for adventure. On the big screen were long shots like Midnight Cowboy, The Wild Bunch, and Alice's Restaurant (which made more money than Easy Rider, or those other two),while on TV it was Hugh Hefner hosting Playboy After Dark, while The Courtship of Eddie's Father was tackling single parenthood, Love, American Style was examining the new romantic landscape, and H.R.Pufnstuf was teaching America's youth about psychedelic drugs. and Harry.Like much of pop culture in the late 60s, the big shots in charge were getting desperate and experimental because they were having a hard time attracting the hip young crowd. The Bronsonites belonging to Jim's Garage will be there for their 2nd Annual Reunion gathering with their Sportster replica bikes, it will be fun! They have contact with many of the locals who were there, and remember the filming many of these folks were in the episode as the real town�s people. Olathe, Colorado is the proposed site for the 42nd Anniversary celebration for the filming of Then Came Bronson. More of the end of town railroad track area. You can see the building across the street from the bus arriving at the railroad tracks is still there. Here you can see that the Sheriff�s office was just across the street from the landmark buildings opposite. The outlines are the same now as they were then. Look closely at the buildings on the left side of the street. The two big trees have since been cut down. You can see the house at the curve in the road, the house is different now, but retains the basic features of the architecture. As he rounds the corner they are very noticeable in the opening sequence of the show. The first pictures are on the road into Olathe, Colorado, the church and house at the curve of the road. I have provided some pictures I took in Olathe, Colorado the location for episode 7, "The 3:13 Arrives at Noon". Jim, I noticed on your website that you have some current photos of TCB locations.
