WILD WILD WEST-SEASON 3 TV DVD REVIEW



A blurb from Paramount about The Wild, Wild West Season 3: The explosive Third season contains all 24 action-packed episodes on 6 discs-digitally re-mastered in FULL COLOR. Take another ride into THE WILD WILD WEST.

The third season of Wild, Wild West now on DVD! The digitally remastered episodes are just as sharp and clear as the first and second seasons and this season went back to more of a western storyline and started going away from the wild “Batman” type stories. Michael Dunn’s health was deteriorating and was only in 1 episode that season. Robert Conrad as James West and Ross Martin as Artemus Gordon return for the third season. This season also has 24 episodes that are uncut. There are quite a few guest stars such as Robert Duvall, Susan Oliver, Ray Walston, Jack Elam, Khigh Dhiegh, Paul Fix, Beverly Garland, Mark Lenard and Nick Adams to name more than a few. An on-the-set mishap from a fall from a chandelier caused a concussion to Robert Conrad’s head and halted production to the point that the last three episodes from the season had to be pushed to the fourth season. I did enjoy the stories this season. Again, there are no extras to this set as the previous season set.

The video quality is fantastic! Episodes are also uncut. Each episode runs approx 51 mins each.
