At one uncharacteristically poignant point during Wild Wild West's final season, secret service agent James West raises a glass to toast "absent friends." That would be Artemis Gordon, West's resourceful sidekick and a master of disguise and the odd "diversion." Ross Martin, who portrayed Gordon, had suffered a heart attack and was missing in action for several episodes, so missed that it took several actors to fill his shoes: Charles Aidman as Jeremy Pike, William Scharlett (who early in the season portrays a villain in the episode, "The Night of the Gruesome Games") as Frank Harper, Pat Paulson, the hangdog mock-Presidential candidate on The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour, as the seemingly milquetoast Bosley Cranston in "The Night of the Camera," and Alan "The Skipper" Hale, Jr. as chemist Ned Brown in "The Night of the Sabatini Death," (which also features Jim Backus and contains a cute Gilligan's Island in-joke at episode's end). With or without Martin, this was a wild, wild season that offers genre-bending kicks in episodes that evoke James Bondian espionage, Jules Verne fantasy, bizarre Avengers-style villainy, and even The Phantom of the Opera. James and company are up against some entertainingly over-the-top megalomaniacs bent on world domination. Of course, the sun couldn't set on the West without one last encounter with the series' most popular villain, the "dictatorial, vain, short-tempered, and occasionally unreasonable" Dr. Loveless (Michael Dunn), who re-emerges yet again to pass judgment over those he professes to have wronged him in "The Night of Marguerite's Revenge." Two of TV's comedy icons, Harvey Koran and a pre-Mary Tyler Moore Show Ted Knight, play it straight as formidable foes in "The Night of the Big Blackmail" and "The Night of the Kraken," respectively. "The Night of the Winged Terror," the series' only two-parter, is an effective creep show featuring a hypnotizing bulging-brained adversary. Conrad, as one character compliments him, is "better than ever," whether dispatching goons (he performed all his own stunts) or romancing the ladies ("He said something about showing the big dipper to the daughter of the Lithuanian ambassador," Artemis explains West's absence in "Big Blackmail"). While there are signs that the series was poised to jump the shark, it is too bad it ended before further encounters with Professor Montague, who is introduced in "The Night of the Janis" as the Q-like creator of such nifty gadgets as a harmonica gun. --Donald Liebenson

I personally liked the last season. It seemed that a lot of the elements which made the series a pleasure to watch are here. With that being said, there are a few improvements (such as the music) and one or two things which kind of make the plots a little less believable (yes, I DO know it's the Wild Wild West) but there are a few stretches too many in some of these episodes. All in all though, I have to recommend this as some good TV.

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!

"The Wild Wild West - Season Four" was the final season of a fun TV program that was equal parts western drama and modern spoof. Robert Conrad and Ross Martin return as US Secret Service agents James West and Artemus Gordon, out to save the American West of the 1870's from a variety of exotic and diabolical villains. Actor Ross Martin suffered from health problems during the season. His temporary replacements included William Schallart, Charles Aidman, Alan Hale Jr, and Pat Paulsen, each of whom ... Read More

I love the show and the packaging is nice, but all of my CBS TV dvd titles are getting bad cases of DVD rot.(an oily looking stain on the playing side. This release is no exception.Your prized and expensive DVD set may not be playable in a few years even without a single scratch. And I thought Universal's double sided disks were bad. At least they come unscathed when new.
