Re: Wild Wild West special features?

This appears to be selling like hotcakes. It was sold out at 4 Best Buys I stopped at earlier this week. I finally ordered it from Amazon and it's been in their top 100 since release! Not bad for a 40 year old TV series.

The marketing department a Paramount certainly thinks this is going to be a bestseller. They don't usually put much effort into extras for their older series (unless it's Star Trek). So for them to outsource the extras package to renowned DVD producer Paul Brownstein shows the faith and expectations they have in sales.

I grew up with this series via early morning showings on cable station TBS. The over-the-top and fantastic energy on display immediately caught my attention, and I've been a fan since. Having this set is a real treat because I've never seen any of the B&W episodes. Hopefully other season won't be far behind.

The Wild Wild West was rerun on TNT, not TBS (but you were close).

So WWW has made the Best Buy Top 100 list? WW!

I just picked S1 up (along with F Troop S1) and I highly recommend WWW Season 1!
I'm not big on westerns especially these days, but I am a big 60's Spy tv/movies buff!
It was neat to see the "EverReady" commerical on this set.

Re: Wild Wild West special features?

It sounds like Paramount really wants more than just the one season on dvd LOL. You know how it is with these things nowadays---one season comes out and that's the end of it.

For guest stars, I know Charles Davis did a few minor roles in season one. He's still around...he just turned 80 and he just directed and starred in a play. I don't know who he played in WWW though. Lana Wood is still around...she was a casting director not too long ago. Met them both!

Charles Davis played West's butler Tennyson, but only in about 5 of the earliest episodes including the pilot. I guess his contract wasn't renewed beyond that and he became a casualty of the first season WWW turmoil (several changes in producers).
