Whether you grew up with it on the tube, want to erase the memory of 1999's disappointing feature-film adaptation, or are simply discovering it now, The Wild Wild West rocks. This late-'60s TV show has a bit of everything: laughs, drama, action, elements of magic, sci-fi, ghost stories, high- and low-tech gadgets that would do James Bond and MacGyver proud, great music, pretty ladies, outrageous villains, cool clothes... and even Sammy Davis Jr. and Richard Pryor, among other unexpected guests. Droll ladies man and government agent James West (played by tough guy Robert Conrad, wearing pants so tight they reveal his... well, they're really tight) and his sidekick, master of disguises Artemus Gordon (Ross Martin), are back at it for this second season (1966-67), with 28 episodes packaged on seven discs, bringing with them the same delightfully arch tone as before. Headquartered in their well-appointed train car, they embark on a variety of oddball adventures, all of them entitled "The Night of" something (like "...the Flying Pie Plate," "...the Returning Dead," "...the Surreal McCoy," "...the Tottering Tontine," and many more). It's all very tongue-in-cheek; the villains, both familiar (Doctor Miguelito Loveless, colorfully portrayed by "little person" Michael Dunn) and new, are deluded, silver-tongued maniacs camping it up like there's no tomorrow, while the stories, ranging from Loveless' schemes to take over the world and various plots to eliminate President Ulysses S. Grant and other important personages to time travel and green-skinned women from Venus, are smart, whimsical, and clever.
The show's overall vibe, from the opening credits on, is obviously reminiscent of cartoons and comic books; the fact that it doesn't take itself at all seriously is arguably its most appealing feature, along with better-than-average sets, cinematography, and other technical elements (not to mention a great title tune by Morton Stevens, the same guy responsible for Hawaii Five-0's immortal theme). Inevitably, some of it seems a bit dated now, such as the stereotypical depictions of Indians, but overall, The Wild Wild West has held up well. If there's a principal drawback, it's the lack of any bonus features; even though creator Michael Garrison died before this second season hit the airwaves, it would have been nice to hear from some of the others who participated in the making of this terrific show. --Sam Graham

The second season is great! You never know who is going to show up in one of these series (Richard Pryor being the most notable example) or what kind ofplot you're going to deal with in these shows. I watched these when they were originally in syndication and they haven't lost their lustre. Daring fights, challenging mysteries, eccentric villains... this has got it all!

I got all 4 seasons from Amazon in late November...
Season 1 was okay, Season 2, Season 3, and Season 4 all have corrupted DVD's and They are TRASH!
Would give a ZERO stars if I could!

I got this DVD set as a gift for a relative who is a big fan of Robert Conrad and the Wild Wild West. He was very happy with its quality, after having purchased some other Robert Conrad DVDs with horrible picture and sound (of course, they were rarer, and hard to come by). I would highly recommend this product as a gift for anyone who is already a fan of the show.

A classic TV series from the 1960's that is part western, adventure, & mystery all rolled into one. The second season is in some ways better than the first in that it's in color, the plots are more outlandish, & the over-acting by the guest villains is more outrageous. It's great fun for all ages to watch. The only problem with this DVD is that there is no commentary, but that's a minor fault. Just enjoy the shows.

I read the Editorial Review in the second season (which I am planning to buy next month) and I want to make a correction. I just bought the first season. In the Special Features, there is an interview with Richard Markowitz. He explains how the Opening Theme music came about. I have listened to the episodes and also listened to the full explanation, and they even include a Music Rehearsal in which you hear the musicians and Markowitz talking.
The whole series is wonderful. I remember ... Read More
