a5c7b9f00b 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, Artemus designs a series of interesting gadgets for James that would make Inspector Gadget proud. A lighthearted adventure series. Two Secret Service Agents, equipped with a wide array of gizmos, work for the government in the Old West. I&#39;ve watched The Wild Wild West, and I enjoy the chemistry between Robert Conrad and Ross Martin. It&#39;s funny and I like all the different disguises Artemus Gordon comes up with. In my opinion after Ross Martin left the show because of illness, it just never was the same. The actors who took his place just never seem to have the same chemistry. I was a TV kid in the sixties, and that&#39;s when all the really fun shows came out, with Wild Wild West high on the favorite list. Westerns were fading in the sunset of viewer interest and spies and sci fi was coming on the scene. Why not combine all of them into one amazingly creative and entertaining program? Of course the show will only go so far if there is no chemistry with the cast. All is present in those regards. Robert Conrad and Ross Martin had such engaging rapport that they remained friends off the setwell. Even with the fifteen year difference between them they were a team, and the regard they had for one another truly showed.<br/><br/>WWW blended parody with western style 007 tricks and action packed conflict. On top of well-written, engaging scripts big name guest stars like Boris Karloff, Richard Pryor, and Sammy Davis Jr added to the fun. It seems ironic that the show ended because the network felt it was too violent. Compared to what is available today, WWW was Romper Room. Even when the bad guys were shot there wasn&#39;t any blood! I&#39;m now introducing WWW to my own kids and with the series out on DVD it makes for a great family hour (and hours) of viewing. Just like the good old day, and no commercials!
