The third season of "The Wild Wild West" rode into town with some changes--the look of the show was spruced up a bit with new wardrobe designs for Robert Conrad's character. Although this season has less of the fantasy/science fiction elements that were a highlight of seasons one, two and we only get one episode with Dr. Loveless, it was still a stellar season with top notch writing and direction. We had some memorable guest stars including Michael Dunn (Dr. Loveless), Robert Duvall and Nick Adams.
Season four is tentatively set for March 18, 2008.
The episodes include:
Disc 1 & 2
The Night of the Bubbling Death
The Night of the Firebrand
The Night of the Assassin
The Night Dr. Loveless Died
The Night of Jack O' Diamonds
The Night of the Samurai
The Night of the Hangman
The Night of Montezuma's Hordes
Disc 3 & 4
The Night of the Circus of Death
The Night of the Falcon (featuring Robert Duvall)
The Night of the Cut-Throats
The Night of the Legion of Death
The Night of the Turn Coat
The Night of the Iron Fist
The Night of the Running Death
The Night of the Arrow
Disc 5 & 6
The Night of the Headless Woman
The Night of the Vipers (with guest star Nick Adams)
The Night of the Underground Terror
The Night of the Death Masks (one of my favs)
The Night of the Amnesiac
The Night of the Undead (involving voodoo)
The Night of the Simian Terror (with a witty reference to Edgar Allen Poe)
The Night of the Death MakerThe third season had less episodes as well 24 compared to the 28 for seasons one and two. The show's level of action sequences--which had always been high--reached a peak during season three which put the show on the radar for a group that protested the level of violence in the show. The result was that with middling ratings and conflict over the high level of action in the show, "The Wild Wild West" was not renewed after the fourth season.
This set comes without extras although the show looks terrific. It would have been nice to have a featurette on the show's production. At least we get a terrific looking presentation for the show.

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
