!Tropes for the series:
* AdventureTowns: The show does this every week.
* CharacterTitle: ''Then Came Bronson''.
* CoolBike: Bronson does his wandering on a 1969 XLH 900cc Harley-Davidson Sportster.
* TheDrifter: James "Jim" Bronson, a newspaperman who becomes disillusioned after the suicide of his best friend Nick (Martin Sheen) after a heated argument with his editor. In order to renew his soul, Bronson becomes a vagabond searching for meaning of life and seeking experiences that life has to offer.
* MotorcycleOnTheCoastRoad: Show is about the titular character deciding to "take to the road" and have adventures on his motorcycle. The show spent a lot of time doing the exact thing described above, long shots across what is probably the California Coastline showing the highway.
