This review is from: The Wild Wild West - The Complete Second Season (DVD)

The second season of "The Wild Wild West" looks terrific in its DVD presentation with nice, bold colors. We get all 28 episodes of the second season included in this set. With guest stars such as Victor Buno, Richard Pryor (both in the first episode "Night of the Eccentrics"), Peter Lawford, Sammy Davis, Jr. and William Windom among many others. As with the previous set the season in housed in a cardboard box with discs 1-6 facing each other in slimline DVD holders. The 7th disc is in its own holder.

This season features many episodes for which the series became famous. In "The Night of the Flying Pie Plate" Jim and Artie face lovely green skinned Venusians but quickly discover that these aliens aren't what they appear to be on the surface. "The Night of the Rave" features Dr. Loveless in a plan to shrink the entire human race--except Loveless who will now be a giant and rule humanity. "The Night of the Big Blast" features a doctor who has resurrected the dead and changed them into duplicate of Jim and Artie to kill the President. In "The Night of the Lord of Limbo" Jim must track a kidnapped Artie who appears to have been sent back in time aspart of a plan to change the outcome of the Civil War.

Sadly, it appears that Paramount put all the extras they're going to put out on the first set ofThe Wild Wild West - The Complete First Season This set comes without extras. We get some fantasy themed episodes as usual with "The Night of the Lord of Limbo" in which Jim must find Artie and is taken on a strange journey through time. "The Night of the Surreal McCoy" features Dr. Loveless' evil plan to transport murderers into his faked masterpieces and then use them to kill important people and "The Night of the Big Blast" in which duplicates are created of Artie and Jim from two dead people and sent on a mission to assassinate President Grant.

There are also plenty of episodes that focus much more on more traditional spy western adventure plots but always with an unusual twist. That's what made "The Wild Wild West" so unique; the willingness of the producers/writers to introduce a mix of different genres within the show. As usual Robert Conrad and Ross Martin are both superb in their roles. Conrad did many stunts on the show later earning special recognition from the stuntman's guild.

As with the first season the plots are vary from more conventional James Bond-like episodes to the surreal ones I've mentioned. A pity that no one was asked to provide commentary for any of these episodes. While most of the cast are deceased, we could have used a commentary by someone who studies TV and the impact of the show or, at the very least, someone who knows trivia about the show. I have no complaints for the most part however because Paramount has done a terrific job making sure these transfers look top notch and clean in their presentation here. I didn't find many of the episodes quite as dark here as some of the early black and white episodes of the first set. The Wild Wild West - The Complete First Season

This review is from: The Wild Wild West - The Complete Second Season (DVD)

Finally the long awaited "Wild Wild West" is here and now we are graced with the second season in full color. What a God send! I have been waiting to see this series again for about 20 years since it last appeared on TV in my area. Now slowly one by one they are releasing the seasons for all to enjoy.

The show was always packed with excitement and adventure and the second season stands out as one of the best of the series. We meet all new villians starring some of the best known TV stars at the time. The second season also includes four more episodes, out of the ten total starring the infamous Dr. Lovless. There were 4 episodes in season one and there are one episode each of Dr. Loveless in the upcoming third and fourth seasons.

The 28 shows are as follows:
1) "The night of the Eccentrics" starring Victor Buono
2) "The night of the Golden Cobra" starring Boris Karloff
3) "The night of the Raven" starring Michael Dunn
4) "The night of the Big Blast" starring Ida Lupino
5) "The night of the Returning Dead" starring Peter Lawford
6) "The night of the Flying Pie Plate" starring William Windom
7) "The night of the Poisonous Posey" starring Delphi Lawrence
8) "The night of the Bottomless Pit" starring Theodore Marcuse
9) "The night of the Watery Death" starring John Van Drreelen
10) "The night of the Green Terror" starring Michael Dunn
11) "The night of the Ready Made Corpse" starring Carrol O'Connor
12) "The night of the Man-Eating House" Starring Hurd Hatfield
13) "The night of the Skulls" starring Donald Woods
14) "The night of the Infernal Machines" starring Ed Begley
15) "The night of the Lord of Limbo" starring Ricardo Montalban
16) "The night of the Tottering Tontine" starring Robert Emhardt
17) "The night of the Feathered Fury" starring Victor Buono
18) "The night of the Gypsy Peril" starring Ruta Lee
19) "The night of the Tartar" starring John Astin
20) "The night of the Vicious Valentine" starring Agnes Moorehead
21) "The night of the Brain" starring edward Andrews
22) "The night of the Deadly Bubble" starring Alfred Ryder
23) "The night of the Surreal McCoy" starring Michael Dunn
24) "The night of the Colonel's Ghost" starring Kathie Browne
25) "The night of the Deadly Blossom" starring Nehemiah Persoff
26) "The night of the Cadre" starring Richard Jaeckel
27) "The night of the Wolf" starring Joseph Campanella
28) "The night of the Bogus Bandits" starring Michael Dunn

Some of my favorite episodes in this season are:
"The night of the Flying Pie Plate where we are introduced to flying saucers that run on melnum or "gold" as we earthlings call it. They of course need all the gold the town holds to get back to the planet they came from in exchange for jewels that seem to be in over abundant supply on thier planet, and on their costumes.

"The night of the Green Terror" where Dr. Lovless tries to hoodwink the local indian tribe into believing he is some kind of god, until West and Gordon show up to battle with the evil genius in his giant sized suit of armour, specialy rigged to make it look like he is taller than we all know he is.

"The night of the Tottering Tontine" Jim and Artey are assigned to protect a member of a tontine which is an investment group where the last survivor gets all the money. Well we all know that spells trouble and it sure does as all the members are trapped in the meeting room of a mansion owned by one of the members. They are forced to spend the night against their wishes and one by one the members are being killed off and West and Gordon must find the culprit behind these mysterious deaths before it's too late.

"The night of the Vicious Valentine" In this episode, the villainous played by Agnes Moorehead is running an antiquated computer dating service where some prominent heads of state are joined in unholy matrimony. These new brides are actually an accomplice in a plot to murdering them. West and Gordon get tangled up in this mess and must come to the rescue once again.

All in all the second season has some great episodes that are sure to please all the fans of this series and will definitely entice newbies to the show into obtaining all four season when they are finally released.

5.0 out of 5 stars West's Best Season..., February 7, 2007

This review is from: The Wild Wild West - The Complete Second Season (DVD)

THE WILD WILD WEST's second year is the essential and definitive season of this awesome, super-cool show. The series at this stage achieved a colorfully artistic peak and gave us the most fondly remembered and most often syndicated episodes of the entire four season run. Although some first year shows benefited from the gothic atmosphere created in part by the black & white photography, the second season's abundance of colorful circuses, carnivals, toy factories, magic shows, Victorian interiors, jewel-bedecked "aliens", harem dancers, and many other things too numerous to list, gave us a phantasmagorically mod and pshycedelic wild west universe to romp in. The stories are also the best in the series and the episodes as produced are each a virtual masterpiece of 1960's TV. This is the season that most fans think of when they remember THE WILD WILD WEST as one of the most awesome and cool shows of all time. Each season contained great episodes and all are must-haves for anyone who likes the show. But if you only buy and/or watch one season of the WILD WILD WEST, this second year is it. Discover for yourself exactly what I mean and you'll have a blast doing it. The fantastic plots are too numerous to list, as are the superb guest stars(OK, a few: Boris Karloff as an east Indian Maharajah, Ricardo Montalban as a paraplegic with an impossibly mind-blowing secret, and Richard Pryor as a mute magician's assistant). You'll experience how time travel is believably worked into a very well-done episode. Once again, I must stress that this set is pretty much IT when it comes to action-adventure television. Have fun seeing how fast you can pick out "Arty" in disguise...and...Enjoy...'Nuff said.
