DVD Review: The Wild Wild West - The Complete TV Series - Page 4

Primarily all of the extras come from the season one set of disks. These include audiotaped interviews with producer Fred Frieberger, writer (and "Dr. Loveless" creator) John Kneubuhl, music composer Richard Markowitz, and special effects technician Tim Smyth. Other extras include a network series promo clip (from a later season, after TWWW switched to color), a sketch by Ross Martin, a photo gallery, and even one of Conrad's notorious Eveready battery commercials from the late '70s.

There is also a disk that contains the two reunion movies. The Wild Wild West Revisited aired May 9, 1979, and More Wild Wild West aired October 7-8, 1980. The first had Paul Williams as Miguelito Loveless Jr., the son of the agents' arch-nemesis. And the second had Jonathon Winters as Albert Paradine II, who planned world conquest using a formula for invisibility.

Overall The Wild Wild West: The Complete TV Series remains remarkably fresh to this day and while many say that it remains the only series in television history to be canceled for "excessive violence," perhaps it was for the best. There was only so much that could be pulled from the series without overstaying its welcome. I very highly recommend The Wild Wild West: The Complete TV Series.

    This is my all time favorite show. Never missed an episode when it originally aired. Wrote to both Robert Conrad and Ross Martin and got fantastic pics from both...this show has stood the test of time. This is one complete box set that will be on my shelf
