Yeah, you're absolutely right, "Wild Wild West" is really a unique 'show' which is just set in a Western atmosphere, it uses the 'Wild West' scenery for depicting stories that could have happened (almost) anywhere, at any time - and it was very good, too!

Thanks for your comment. I would like to add that unfortunately there are far too few unique TV shows out there. Wild Wild West was definitely one of them. Ross Martin was superb playing all those different characters. I read here that he spoke multiple languages so that was definitely an advantage in playing his character on the show. Additionally Robert Conrad IS James West. He was great in that part.

Oh yes, you're absolutely right, there are VERY little TV shows with have got their very own, unmistakable 'character' - and unfortunately, in recent years the number has gone down to about zero
Robert Conrad is a REALLY great actor, yes; I also liked him a lot as 'Pappy Boyington' in "Black Sheep Squadron", where he was like a real 'father' for his 'black sheep' during the difficult days of War in the Pacific And Ross Martin was immensely versatile - like a kind of latter-day Chester Morris, who'd surprised us all so many times in his so many different 'roles' in the "Boston Blackie" movie series!

My parents seem to love that "MeTV" channel, when I visit them they're constantly watching
Gunsmoke, Rawhide, Bonanza,
and
The Virginian
. But, I can only get into Rawhide.

I loved the Big Valley but loved it more later as Lee Majors and Linda Evans became bigger stars.
