Editorial Reviews:
|
James West and Artemus Gordon are two agents of President Grant who take their splendidly appointed private train through the west to fight evil. Half science fiction and half western, the Artemus designs a series of interesting gadgets for James that would make Inspector Gadget proud. A light hearted adventure series.

Summary: Fantastic Series
Comment: The Wild Wild West (or W3), was one of the most inovative TV series to ever see the small screen. This unique concept blended the popular "James Bond" style spy with the classic western (both were very popular on TV and film at the time). It hit the mark so well that it was to inspire a number of other shows decades later including the popular The Adventures of Brisco County Jr. - The Complete Series
The fourth and final season of W3 is every bit as entertaining as the other three.
Personally, I was most impressed with the very well thought out action scenes and clever ideas for the "secret gadgets" that were used in the show. Fight scenes are well coordinated and entertaining with the actors actually doing all of their own stunts.
The whole series,(including this season), has a guest star list that reads as "whos who" of actors from television at that time. For example: Season four included Alan Hale jr. and a small nod to his role as The Skipper in the beloved Gilligan's Island TV series.
The only drawback with the fourth season was that the producers had wanted to make the series more "hip" for the younger crowd by adding a sort of surf music sound to the score. It does not always work and the music is not as good as the scoring of the first two seasons.
That said, the Fourth season of The Wild Wild West is a piece of entertainment worthy of watching. So grab some popcorn and sit down with a series that never "Jumped the Shark". It's a Wild, Wild ride.

Summary: Back in the saddle
Comment: The first and second seasons were great fun to watch. The third season was a bit weak. The fourth season brought back some of the magic of the first 2. I enjoyed the fourth season a lot. It was sad not seeing Artie in them all due to illness at time of filming. But overall, good season. You can tell that something was going on due to repeated scenes in different episodes. For example, there was a scene where Jim climbed down a mountain and I knew they had cut that from an earlier episode. It's also amusing watching his hair style change because they use scenes from earlier episodes to save money probobly. It adds to the feeling of 60's TV though and I'm not expecting this to be Citizen Kane. It is what it is which is a lot of fun for someone who enjoyed the series in a more innocent time.

Comment: For those who enjoy the "Good Old Days" of TV. This set (1-4) is a complete enjoyment. From the first black and white shows to the color ones. Great for the real fans!

Summary: Wild Wild West season 4
Comment: I have purchased all 4 seasons that have been released of the tv series The Wild, Wild West. I love the show and the stars. They are neatly packaged and easy to view.
I am however extremely disappointed in the lack of special features after the first season was released. Mr. Martin and Mr. Conrad deserve better. As someone who has put about 120$ into the DVD's, I deserve better. Shame on the company that is putting these DVD's together. You owe me a special DVD of extras in my opinion.
I think the price is too much for what you receive. Drop the price or increase the extra's.

Summary: Wild Wild 60's music influence
Comment: One thing to note about this seasons episodes is the occasional stylish late 60's background music blended in with the never old Wild Wild West theme music. Racial integration of more black actors in episodes can also be found during this season as well in contrast to previous seasons. The women's movement had not yet taken root at this time and only small traces in attitude changes toward women can be detected in the episodes. The difference in the episodes produced in the first season versus this forth season reminds those of us who lived it the pronounced changes that took place in our society during those four short years.
