When I was a kid (during the show's 1st run), I never EVER missed an episode!! I was totally enthralled by the entire thing!
The show is on Amazon Prime video now.
Me too....loved this show ❤
Growing up my brother and I loved this show! It was on Friday night. My mom would be frying fish in the kitchen and we would be mesmerized by this show. Such action. It was the A-Team of its day. We both loved the animated intro of the show too. What fun times.
The A-Team was 80's campy but I still liked it a lot. I loved this show and it wasn't campy at all. Both Ross Martin and Robert Conrad put their hearts and souls into their characters. The full DVD set is available. I own it.
Correction: "Monochrome" refers to an image with a single color. Black and white TV shows were just several shades of gray.
Every kid in those days, including me, wanted to be James West. We loved the action in every episode and we didn't take the violence seriously. We knew it was all staged. What do the studios and the NAB know? Besides, the violence on TV nowadays is way over the top.
Great show! Loved the recurring villains of Dr. Loveless and Voltaire.
Thanks 🤣
Excellent show. Watched every episode as a kid. Outstanding talent in every character in the series.
Agreed.
I loved this series. It was pure Steampunk. Very creative. However, I have no recollection of the degree of violence.
I don't recall the violence either. Compared to today...this show was puff. lol.
I loved this show! It was pure anachronistic fun! However, my mom didn't like it due to the violence. "The Wild Wild West" is a cult classic in its own right.
As a youngster in the early ‘70s, I watched this show with my father every week. It was one of our favorites. Thank you for the trip down memory lane.
For those interested in seeing the railroad equipment in person, it's now all the property of the Nevada State Railroad Museum in Carson City, Nevada.
I did not know...thanks.
I'll Take It Over The 1990's Film Adaptation the one starring Will Smith and Selma Hayek bad bad bad bad movie
I watched this show a lot as a kid in the late 70s. Even as a young kid I could tell that the technology was obviously too advanced for the time.
The entire show wasn’t very realistic. It made the violence in it not really that noticeable. Closer to Batman tv type violence than realistic looking violence 😂
As a kid I LOVED this show! Thanks for bringing up the memories.
Loved that show from the 60s. A Great Shootem up Western…..
Uh, hardly ever any shooting on this show.
I watched this as a child, it was so funny even then to watch the embarrassing the low budget special effects and fighting. It was like watching spoofs of westerns, but I didn't miss an episode.
Too violent, lol.
I loved this show back when I was about eight.
I never thought this was violent at all.
It was quite clever and fun though.
I remember watching this with my father, when I was a very little boy.
The pairing of Robert Conrad and Ross Martin was legendary
W3, Garrisons Guerrillas, The Rat Patrol, The Man from Uncle….those were the days to be a young boy!
My paternal grandmother loved her some westerns! High Chaparral, Bonanza, Gunsmoke and The Big Valley were her jam 😅
Robert Conrad later made a tv movie called “Hard Knox “ about a retired military officer who took over a military academy in Mount Carroll Illinois (in reality the former Shimer College campus).
Too violent? Lol, it was as choreographed as Batman TV series fight scenes. So... was Batman too violent for television? 😆👌🏼yeah right.
exaCTLY
@@BRUTUSPLAC
Batman was so Campy , it was More of a Comedy than a Drama.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Used to watch this show when I was a kid. It was reruns at that time, but I thought it was awesome.
I loved this show! The highlight of my week was when my mother would call me inside to watch it. Was she an abusive mother…🤣😂. I think not.
The Wild Wild West is great. 😀👍
If you think this show was too violent, then you should check out episodes of the 1957 TV series O.S.S. starring Ron Randell. I remember (probably not accurately, tho) that almost every show that I watched had a graphic torture scene with the Nazis!
Stalin was worse.
I read an article once that stated they had to hire actresses that were as shorter than Robert Conrad for whatever reason, they messed up once and hired one taller and caused a conflict.
I loved that show! I still watch it sometimes.
This was one of THE best series on tv. The will smith movie was a bad joke, and a slap in the face to the series.
The most violent show back then was the Untouchables.
Its a great show, loved it. Ya bugs bunny was too violent also, but the real world is not at all.!😢
Excellent show and not nearly as violent as the things on TV now. I can't watch NCIS/SVU. Now that's much too violence. Rape and child abuse seem common on this series. Never saw any of that on WWW.
NO, it was not too violent! I grew up on this show [and even met Robert Conrad when he appeared at a country festival when I was still a little kid!], and I can assure you, I have hardly killed anyone as a result.
LOL - Wild Wild West was nowhere near as violent as Combat! or The Untouchables.
Umm... I would disagree about this show "not being your granddad's western". It was broadcast in the mid-sixties, for Pete's sake!. I watched it when I was a kid; I am now 67! Admittedly, I have no grandchildren... but plenty of my peers do.
Last couple of episodes I had to stew on this, but I can make a few calls on this. One, no it wasn't too violent, it was revolutionary. Shows like Mission: Impossible, Wild Wild West and The Man From UNCLE just to name a few just showed it CAN go there, so long as it was given the opportunity. Hell, let's compare seasons. Two: if any show lasted for more than a season, it has piqued general interest. See various game shows as an example. I feel the problem that most vintage shows suffered was within was having the wrong type of people overlooking control of the performance. From the network execs to say, general consensus. Like you made a steampunk western, how cool is that? It wasn't post-apocalyptical, nor dystopian but just simple advanced tech to a world that wasn't ready for it. Three. It's just like with cartoons back then, during a time that parody WAS needed, same can be said for here. Society NEEDS a break from reality, hell even to a point where you need a good laugh or a way to relax and enjoy a good series that hit all the right spots. That's probably more reason why I watch older series, movies and anime more than now. It was more vibrant, better story telling and knew how to keep your interest. It didn't dumb you down, nor trigger you into a snowflake. Even some shows went OOC for a moment to give viewers awareness on some of the real issues happening and went so far as telling us how we should combat it. That's the true definition looking out for your best interest right there.
Great Show 🤎
I didn't have time to watch the video but the Wild West was cancelled because of the "influence" of ONE democRAT Senator.
It wasn't too violent, I used to watch it when I was a child. This was one of my most favourite shows.
This was my favorite Friday night show, absolutely loved it
Great Show
i love that tv series,james bond meets the west,the violence had no effect on me whatsoever,it is,by all definition just a tv show,NOT REALLITY,the yought of today cant grasp the difference anymore,sad
No it wasn't too violent....creative highcamp entertainment & no tech to create the illusion
My parents never complained about us kids watching the show. They did, however, forbid us from watching the James Bond movie when it first came out - because they thought Ursula Andress's bikini was indecent. Plus ca change, plus ca meme chose...
I loved this show and Dr. Miguelito Loveless, played by Michael Dunn, was the best villain. The biggest question I always had was how did Robert Conrad get into those tight pants?
Thank you
One, perhaps minor but not to me, feature of Robert Conrad as a well groomed, finely tailored and form fitting dressed secret agent was that the premiere of this series just happened to coincide with my onset of puberty. And as many budding gay men in America back then I later learned, I'm certain that many of us back then were adamant fans mainly because we could feast our eyes and are nascent libidos on the remarkably athletically fit Robert Conrad's oh-so-sexy physique in motion - all while Mom, Dad, and our siblings were watching this action packed weekly program! The then closeted yearning for open acceptance was finally fed on broadcast TV! The subsequent revelations that actor Conrad was a gay-tease, vain toxically "macho man" of an egotist prepared many of us for the same sort of disappointment when Mel Gibson betrayed his most loyal fanbase in his self-serving religiously based seething homophobic rants. But hey, those Wild Wild West reruns on retro TV channels are still as close to soft-core porn as TV ever got! Thankfully!!!
fantastic show!!!
No it was not too violent, I grew up on wild wild west and I'm O.K.
Great show 🤎
Too violent?! It was too revealing. Jim West in them tight ass pants....
😂😂😂😂
It was Not too violent! And shame on that Senator whom caused it to be canceled!
Hey, I watched every episode of this show as a kid and I turned out fine. Just ask my shrink!! 🤪
😂😂😂😂
the best there was !
it wasn't that violent as it had many bits of humor and most TV shows from the 50's 60's and very early 70's were all fairly violent it's was just the way that TV was = have gun will travel , combat man from uncle , mannex , garrison's guerrillas , honey west code name jerricho before the mid 80's and 90's came along
Wild Wild West was not as violent ( or as good) as Mannix. Speaking of Mannix one of the best episodes had Robert Conrad ( James T. West), playing a nasty version of himself.
I loved WW West show. It was cancelled like Smothers Bros and Gilligan’s Island by CBS dummies.
Is Rich OK?
The Will Smith version should be banned. It was an assault on our minds. The original Wild Wild West rules.
🎉❤!
Hahahaha
Was it ? It is now for sure. But we were privileged enough to have shows with good, clean content.
