THE WILD, WILD WEST SEASON 3(1965)

Adams, Jackie Coogan, Sherry Jackson, Leslie Neilson,

Reviewer From IMDb.com:
I guess I was 7 to 10 years of age when TWWW aired.
What a cool show! Gadgets, girls, the music...and
those knife-edge escapes.
I've only just now bought the first season DVD and
now my son is watching with me, so I have some catching
up to do.
Enjoy it while keeping in mind that this came out 40
years ago. Imagine if it had been in color!
Crisp, fun, entertaining. In a time when shows were few
and good ones fewer, TWWW rose way above the others. It
should also be said it was very believable in a Mel
Gibson in Lethal Weapon kind of way. I think the actors
deserve a lot of credit also -- they all took their roles
very seriously, and the commitment shows. - floyd-52
