Close enough. It was "The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr."
I briefly skimmed If Chins Could Kill. Bruce Campbell pointed out that he's made a career of major roles in minor movies (e.g. "Army of Darkness") and minor roles in major movies (e.g. "Congo"). I like him in USA Network's "Burn Notice," although he's more subdued than usual.
I presume that that means it's not a cartoon. It must be a comedy of some sort. This isn't the one where Richard Benjamin and gorgeous twins were space garbagemen, is it?

Wrong genre again.
And if you mean the 70s SF comedy "Quark", then you're FAR, FAR too far back...
"I just had one of those "what the hell are we doing" moments!"
"If I had any dignity, that would have been humiliating."
"Come, Silent Walrus, let us storm the castle! I will don my safety gear."
"Frank, why are you standing so far away?"
"Because I wanna continue to live."
"So then the next question is, why am I standing so close?"
"How hard can it be to blow up a room full of gasoline?"
"We made something blow up!"
"Any day we create that much shrapnel is a good day."
"It just goes to show, do not grab the third rail with both hands and p1$$ on it from 3 inches away!"
"The police officer said you need to drink more."
"You know, my Doctor was also telling me that I'm not getting enough tar…so, I need to start smoking again!"
"Quack, damn you!"
"Don't mess with me, duck."
"I can't help but notice that IT'S NOT ON FIRE YET!"
"Our death ray doesn't seem to be working right. I'm standing right in it, and I'm not dead yet."
"This is the show. It's like four minutes of science and then ten minutes of me hurting myself."
"I just did the math. I need him to weigh 25 pounds."
"So you're saying that he needs to be built out of depleted uranium."
"Do you have some? Is it under 'D' or 'U' over here?"
"That means the first stop is a hay store."
"Uh, otherwise known as a farm."
"Ah, the hay store."
"I reject your reality, and substitute my own!"
"Hi, we're here to buy a trombone."
"Sure, for a student?"
"Well no, actually we want to blow it up."
"You want to blow it up?
We have some used ones."
"And then suddenly...nothing happened."
"Let's get on our knees and pray. I don't know to whom. Is there a patron saint of ballistics gel?"
"In Monterey Bay, Ping-Pong ball plus sea otter equals jail time for at least some member of the crew, I think we'll have to draw straws to figure out who."

Wow. This one's been dormant for a while... "Uh I've just been handed a news flash. The word "Canada" is unrhymeable. It's easier to - I don't know - get drunk and try to climb a bull

No. Not that recent (but not really old, either).

The star of this show has an autobiography entitled If Chins Could Kill.

No, though it would be an interesting duel!
The actor in question is featured (though not the star) of a new series on cable.
In the TV show which is the subject of the clues, his character's name was more like a place.

The actor starred in "Jack of All Trades" and was a regular on "Hercules."

Looking at the pic, I'm getting a vague recollection of something with
"Brisco" or "Briscoe" in the name.
"Adventures of Brisco County" or something.
That's as close as I'm probably going to get.

Explains why I thought he looked like Bruce Campbell....
Personally, I don't think "Jack of Swords" was given a decent shot. If it had been put out now, it
definitely would have survived on a cable channel. Then again, I felt the same about "Wolf Lake".

I'm sure we haven't done this one before.

Ballistics gel? the only one I can think of is MythBusters

Correct.
I was counting on that often-quoted line to do it.

Here's where a few of the quotes were from....
"It just goes to show, do not grab the third rail with both hands and p1$$ on it from 3 inches away!"
Myth tested- can you get electrocuted by whizzing on the third rail?
Well, yes, but the conditions have to be extremely specific.....
"The police officer said you need to drink more."
"You know, my Doctor was also telling me that I'm not getting enough tar…so, I need to start smoking again!"
Myth tested- can you do something to fool a breath-alyzer test?
Step 1 had to be, obviously, get drunk first...
"Quack, damn you!"
"Don't mess with me, duck."
Myth tested- do ducks' quacks actually not echo?
Step 1-record ducks quacking- if you can GET them to quack....
"I can't help but notice that IT'S NOT ON FIRE YET!"
"Our death ray doesn't seem to be working right. I'm standing right in it, and I'm not dead yet."
Myth tested- did ancient Greeks set ships on fire with a solar-reflecting death ray?
No- even modern mirrors couldn't light a raft wet with gasoline...
"That means the first stop is a hay store."
"Uh, otherwise known as a farm."
"Ah, the hay store."
Myth: can you find a needle in a haystack?
Step 1: get haystacks...
"I reject your reality, and substitute my own!"
Show's catchphrase.
"Hi, we're here to buy a trombone."
"Sure, for a student?"
"Well no, actually we want to blow it up."
"You want to blow it up?
We have some used ones."
Semi-typical response when these guys are shopping for necessary tools.
"And then suddenly...nothing happened."
Often the result when using Plan A. They've said usually Plan D works, and A-C didn't.
"Let's get on our knees and pray. I don't know to whom. Is there a patron saint of ballistics gel?"
Ballistics gel is used in a LOT of tests, where they fill a dummy with it to simulate a human body.
"Breaking big things for science, every day."
Another typical line for the show.
Your turn, moose!
