It took me a while to get used to this being in color, as I had gotten used to the stark but lovely b/w of the first season. But I quickly got caught up in the stories and devilish villains, beautiful ladies and odd settings, as Jim and Artie continue their various missions all over the country with their tricked-out train, hidden devices, and general humor.
Looking forward to the 3rd and 4th seasons.

One of the all-time TV greats, "The Wild Wild West" was a truly unique series that incorporated many genres within its action-adventure format. The vivid transition to color gave the CBS show a tremendous boost in the 1966-67 season. Stunningly remastered, the DVD set includes classic Robert Conrad-Ross Martin episodes such as "The Night of the Returning Dead," "The Night of the Big Blast," "The Night of the Man-Eating House" and "The Night of the Lord of Limbo." An affectionate nod to 007 is evident in "The Night of the Deadly Blossom" - highlighted by a "Dr. No"-inspired climax. The guest-star roster rivaled ABC's "Batman," with memorable appearances by Boris Karloff, Sammy Davis Jr., Ricardo Montalban, Ida Lupino and Emmy winner Agnes Moorehead. Happily, Michael Dunn returns in four of the best Dr. Loveless encounters - reaching its imaginative apex in "The Night of the Surreal McCoy." Another recurring villain is Victor Buono's magical Count Manzeppi, who regrettably vanished after the second season. Devoted viewers can only fathom the increasingly bizarre trails James West and Artemus Gordon might have taken if creator Michael Garrison had not died so early during the show's four-year run.

One of my favourite TV stars was Ross Martin. So it was a singularly enjoyable delight to be able to access some of his most memorable performances in "The Wild Wild West". I cannot believe the film-makers even considered the idea of "updating" this series with the mediocrity of Will Smith in the leading role! Thank the Lord for those who invented the Archival Section of the film genre!
My deepest thanks to those who have made it possible to again view some of the best in television entertainment.

I remember this show when I was a teenager. It was a great show, not your typical western though. It was great to find it on dvd to add to my movie collections. There are about 28 movies all in clear picture with beautiful colors.

This great 60's TV show rolls on...in color!
However, I'm mildly disappointed because unlike season one there are no more pre-show opening narrations by Robert Conrad! Otherwise, it's a great collection!
