This was by far the best season in WWW and unfortunately, the last thanks to CBS. This set has my favorite episodes: The Night of Fire and Brimstone, The Night of the Sedgewick Curse, The Night of the Sabatini Death among several others. Some of these were quite intimidating for a 10 year old at the time. Definitely a must have for WWW fans.

The final season of the Wild Wild West. The reason was not due to ratings. In fact, the show which was shown on CBS on Friday evenings was consistently high in the Nielsens. In a reflection of the times, worried about war and questioning whether kids should have toy guns to play with the show fell to a very biased axe.
The Fourth season features a few differences. In the first few episodes there is a distinct change in the background music that suggests the late sixties nightclub instead of the 1870 bar. The plots tend to revolve around eccentrics or eccentric countries trying to cause a national disaster or solve something at the expense of everyone else.
The sets are incredibly more colorful than the previous season and the plot lines tend to pick up in mid performance of action, as opposed to the old days when some explosion would occur and we get to see the reasons unravel. There is also a significant change in the supporting actors. Although the series always featured a good amount of roles for minorities, there are more in this years twenty four episodes than in any prior series.
Many reviewers mention the fact that Ross Martin had a heart attack that caused him to miss many episodes in this particular season, but I remember that the general replacements of a steady Agent Pike and a host of guest stars adequately filled in while Mr. Martin was recovering. Pat Paulson, a well known comedian who became a star of the moment after his "Laugh In" roles was brought in as a "special" government agent and is among the many who perhaps are now forgotten, yet there presence here brings a moment to remember.
In the end, as with many television shows of the era, the series is left hanging and just like "Lost in Space" with the Robinson family, we are left to wonder what happened to our heroes. Oh well, but it was an exciting ride wasn't it!?

The hijinx continues. [...] Mildly disappointed in the video transfer, which is quite grainy in some episodes,especially considering what a superior job is done with the other 3 seasons- (started by watching TNOT fugitives). Some trivia. Check out how some scenes from this episode are actually stolen form TNOT Jack O'diamonds (Jim going into the mountains and pulling out his telescope) Must have cut the budget this season. Also funny how JTW's hair is parted on both sides sometimes in the same episode. All in all great fun.

Another great season of a unique, entertaining show that is like no other. Each show offers interesting plot lines, great music(love that theme song), great locations, and a sense of humor mixed in the dangerous antics of our favorite secret service agents. And at the end of each show, you always feel happy that Jim and Arte completed their mission and get to relax on the train. We're lucky to have this series on DVD so we can watch any of their adventures whenever we want.

The 4th and final season of TWWW. Affected by the anti-violence kick at the time -- drastically toning down the action in the later episodes and missing, for much of the season, Ross Martin due to a heart attack, nonetheless, still much to cheer about. The spy craze that began with the theatrical release of FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE IN 1963 winding down. THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E. AND I SPY had both been cancelled the previous season. MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE & GET SMART would last a couple of more seasons. Robert Conrad would go on the next season to work for Jack Webb on THE DA (a series inspired by Vincent Buliousi(?), the man who prosecuted Charles Manson) -- to be followed by ASSIGNMENT VIENNA (the late Roy Schieder starred in the pilot), the pilot (which aired as a tv movie but never made it to a series) THE ADVENTURES OF NICK CARTER, BLACK SHEEP SQUADRON, A MAN CALLED SLOANE, HIGH MOUNTAIN RANGERS and probably a few inbetween I can't recall. For Ross Martin, there would be a lot of guest shots on various tv shows but never another series. The heart attack had left to expensive to insure for a weekly show. (Though Martin would do a never sold pilot for a Charlie Chan series that raised the ire of the Asian American community at the time). It was fun to see the both of them again in the early 80's reunion films but it was all tongue-in-cheek and not at all the same. A moment in tv history never to be repeated.
