Short description
The Wild Wild West is an American television series. Developed at a time when the television western was losing ground to the spy genre, this show was conceived by its creator, Michael Garrison, as "James Bond on horseback." Set during the administration of President Ulysses Grant, the series followed Secret Service agents James West and Artemus Gordon as they solved crimes, protected the President, and foiled the plans of megalomaniacal villains to take over all or part of the United States.
The show also featured a number of fantasy elements, such as the technologically advanced devices used by the agents and their adversaries. The combination of the Victorian era time-frame and the use of Verne-esque style technology have inspired some to give the show credit for the origins of the steam punk subculture.

What's left behind the scenes
- Scenes inside the train were filmed on a set in a specially constructed carriage with removable walls. They were made removable to allow for camera movement. This is noticeable when someone enters or leaves the carriage—a bush is always present outside, placed there to hide the equipment. Even in wide shots showing a desert along the railway tracks where nothing grows at all, the bush still appears whenever characters enter or exit the carriage.
- Robert Conrad later stated that his trousers were so tight that they invariably ripped during every action scene. Indeed, shorts are visible on the actor in some episodes.
- Ross Martin (1920-1981), who played the role of Artemus Gordon, missed filming for 9 episodes due to a broken leg and a near-fatal heart attack.
