Another Good Classic Show!

Always enjoyed this series growing up. It's "James Bond of the West". Really liked the addition of the commentary by Robert Conrad. Be sure to add to your collection! June 1, 2008

The days of my youth

I started watching this show when it first came on television. I was 12 at the time, probably a perfect age to enjoy it most. I watched it through the entire four year run and it was a great show to look forward to on Friday nights after a week of school. The plots were simplistic and the acting was a bit stilted but it was simply a fun show to watch. Throwing James Bond, which I was into as well, into the old west with the suave, debonair personae of Robert Conrad along with Ross Martin playing the intellectual sidekick was great fun. And for a 12 year old male the attractive women were enjoyable as well. I've picked up the first season so far and fondly am repeating those long gone years. It was great seeing Suzanne Pleshette in the first episode, she was always gorgeous, and then seeing other actors and actresses that are much older or passed away in other episodes. Of course watching the fight scenes, the passe secret weapons of the era, and the obligatory death traps that West always escapes is simply good fun. I plan on picking up the remaining season sets as I finish each one. I think they would be fun for someone new to the series as well. April 27, 2008

The Wild Wild West Season 1

Glad to see this on DVD. The intro's by Robert Conrad are a good background to each episode. Was one of my favorite series and never understood why it was not in the rerun lineup. Looking forward to getting the remaining seasons. April 20, 2008

Finally the True Wild Wild West!

The Wild Wild West - The Complete First Season

I waited a long time for the original "Wild Wild West" TV series to come to DVD. The Editorial review pretty much covers what the DVD set is about but let me add that I think this was one of the very best TV shows to come out in the 60's. I think it holds its own today though the sets and special effects seem rather primitive with today's 21st Century technology. What makes this show great though was the imaginative story lines and the performances of its main characters: Robert Conrad as James West, Ross Martin as Artemis Gordon, and especially Michael Dunn in his recurring role of the evil genius, Dr. Miguelito Loveless. Anyone who knows of the Wild Wild West only from that disastrous movie really needs to see the original TV series to understand why this became a TV cult classic. My only criticism is that some of the included commentaries were rather boring. Still, this is pure action-adventure accented with some great fight scenes (a tip of the hat to the stunt crew). This was TV at its best. PS Wait until you see the following seasons in color! February 29, 2008
