Wild Wild West coming to dvd!

According to www.tvshowsondvd.com The first season of Wild Wild West will be coming to dvd next year. Including commentaries and other cool extras.

Yes! 2 down (Mission:Impossible & WWW)...1 to go (Untouchables).


Bring back John Doe! Or at least resolve the cliff-hanger with a 2hr movie or as an extra on a dvd release.

YESSSSS!!!!

Finally! I've been wanting this since the laserdisc era (and never wanted to spring for Columbia House subscription DVDs). And there will be extras! Woo-hoo!

A good number of my favorite episodes are in season 1:

* NIGHT OF THE INFERNO (a superior series pilot, with Suzanne Pleshette, Victor Buono, Neremiah Pershoff and James Gregory)

* THE NIGHT THE WIZARD SHOOK THE EARTH (1st Dr. Loveless episode, with Richard "Jaws" Kiel as his giant henchman)

* NIGHT OF THE PUPPETEER (possibly the coolest, and weirdest episode in the entire series)

* NIGHT OF THE STEEL ASSASSIN (John Denher as a civil war veteran/master hypnotist/self-made cyborg)

* NIGHT OF THE BURNING DIAMOND (a super-speedy FLASH-like villain)

* NIGHT OF THE DRUID'S BLOOD (five living super-brains in jars, plus Don Rickles as a devil!)

* THE NIGHT TERROR STALKED THE TOWN (Dr. Loveless, Take 2)

* NIGHT OF THE WHIRRING DEATH (Dr. Loveless, Take 3)

* NIGHT OF THE MURDEROUS SPRING (Dr. Loveless, Take 4)

* NIGHT OF A THOUSAND EYES (Jeff Corey as a blind mastermind)

* NIGHT OF THE DOUBLE-EDGED KNIFE (a pretty brutal opening sequence for a mid-1960s show)...

Thanks, Paramount! Consider this set bought.

I do think the first season was great and is a definite buy.
However I don't think the show hit its stride until the second season. The first season was experimental. Night of the Burning Diamond was the precursor but there were too many standard western episodes. Even the network was complaining about the fact that there was no Wild in (WWW).

I hope that the two tv movies--from a decade later--WILD, WILD WEST REVISITED and MORE WILD, WILD WEST see the light of dvd-day. They are terrific self-parodies of the stars--Conrad and Martin--as well as the series. Fox released them on VHS, but I don't know if they still own them. They'd make great catalog titles.

Greatest DVD news EVER!

WWW was (IMHO) the most brilliantly entertaining, fun, imaginative TV show of all time. Some of my fondest TV memories of my childhood were of watching syndicated re-runs of this show. I predict it will be hugely successful on DVD. Hopefully, Paramount will follow the quick release trend of some of its other shows and get all four seasons out pronto.

Oh yeah, and Dr. Miguelito Loveless is the greatest TV show villain of all time - no contest!

Hopefully, this release will be enought to make me forget the horror that was the WWW movie.

IT'S ABOUT TIME! I hope this gives Robert Conrad a boost as he has had a bit of difficulty in his private life as of late.

wow that is such good news! Living in the los angeles area and not having cable I have not seen wild wild west re runs for over seven years . When I read awhile ago back columbia house was closing it TV series operation I was happy to hear the news because that would free some series Like WWW from their grip for normal dvd season set distribution. Personal I would be willing (but hopefully it wont) pay up to 100.00 a season for wild wild west. Lets hope its a nice package, with some nice transfers, some fun extras and decent packaging. This is such kool news LOL Hmmm Im already impatiently waiting it release, anyone with more firmer estimate when it WWW dvd set will be release?


Q: Why do you care?

A: You'll never know.

Nice. This was my favorite "old" show when I was in high school.

If the WWW DVDs are half as good as The Twilight Zone or The Dick Van Dyke Show DVDs, the fans are in for a treat.

For the record, I haven't seen The Lucy Show so maybe those are good too.
