🎄 Filmation’s space western gets a dickens of a backstory.
🎙 Joey O. and Sammy Hain saddle up for a Scrooge Sunday edition of the Advent Calendar House looking back at a 1987 Christmas episode of “BraveStarr.”
📺 You can watch “Tex’s Terrible Night” on YouTube.
****
💬 Topics & Tangents:
The Fisher-Price Western Town I used as a backdrop for the much larger Bravestarr action figure.
Joey’s interview with Pat Fraley (Marshal BraveStarr).
This episode uses flashback scenes from the movie “BraveStarr: The Legend,” which explains why the animation quality isn’t consistent.
Young Tex Hex looks like a purple Faker from “He-Man.”
Stampede, the show’s even bigger bad, grants Tex Hex the power of transformation, because Filmation really wanted to teach kids that things that transform are evil.
The “present-day” husband of Tex’s former love, Ursula, looks like Fred Ward.
The time BraveStarr found a kid dead of a drug overdose.
