Back in the mid-1960s the spy craze was at its height of popularity.
The James Bond films ushered in a new spy craze and with the threat of nuclear war, The Cold War and the menace of The Red Threat (Communism) the United States and the world were caught up in all things concerning espionage.
TV networks, never ones to pass up a profitable trend, began churning out Spy TV shows. Most were relegated to the current times-all-except one.
The Wild Wild West on CBS TV combined the Western, Fantasy and the Spy genres into a unique show that showcased the best of all three.
Robert Conrad starred as James West and Ross Martin costarred as Artemus Gordon as two U.S. agents that confronted and fought both domestic and foreign threats.
The show successfully merged all three genres into a fantastic blend that kept viewers glued to their seats every week.
Unfortunately both Conrad and Martin have passed away but their adventures in The Wild Wild West lives on through syndication.
