A blurb from Paramount about The Wild, Wild West Season 2: THE WILD WILD WEST takes you on death-defying, top-secret assignments alongside the country’s best Secret Agents, under direct orders to protect the security of President Grant and the U.S. from all manner of threats.
The second season is here for Wild, Wild West now in Blazing Color! The production designers went all out to put as much color into each episode. The digitally remastered episodes are just as sharp and clear as the first season and the villains are as wild as ever! Four episodes throughout the season sees the return of the duo’s evil archenemy Dr. Migilito Loveless played brilliantly by the late Michael Dunn and the late Victor Buono shows up in 2 episodes as the evil Count Manzeppi, unfortunately not to be used again. The actor does return in the reunion film, “More Wild, Wild West”. Robert Conrad as James West and Ross Martin as Artemus Gordon return in the second season. This season also has 28 episodes that are uncut. There are quite a few guest stars such as Richard Pryor, Boris Karloff, Ida Lupino, Sammy Davis Jr and Peter Lawford, William Windom, Carroll O’Connor, Ricardo Montalban and Agnes Moorehead to name more than a few. The only disappointing part to this box set is that there is absolutely no Special Features or Extras at all! Hopefully they will have more extras in the final 2 sets.
