Wendy go me the complete series of The Wild Wild West television show for Christmas. It’s one of those shows, like Hogan’s Heroes, that I really liked growing up. They had a spy / steampunk thing going and I love it…always have. There’s something programmed into little boys to love secret agent gadgets, etc. Little boys don’t outgrow that, at least I didn’t.
This weekend me and the boys watched a lot of The Wild Wild West and we haven’t gotten through the first season. Unlike the 30-minute episodes of Hogan’s Heroes, The Wild Wild West has 1-hour episodes. The complete collection is (62) 1-hour episodes. Needless to say, they’ll be entertainment for us for quite a while. It’s fun to see the boys enjoy the series like I did (and still do).
The acting and some of the stunts are corny but it’s all forgivable for some unexplainable reason. It’s just good “old-fashioned” TV fun. I don’t have to flinch while watching the shows with the family. Another series I just got was the entire series of The Angry Beavers. These shows are Three Stooges type funny. Not so much intellectual, just funny.
I’ve always wanted to buy the series but it wasn’t available for a long time. Finally, Amazon.com made it possible. We really enjoy these for simple comic relief. I think all the kids, from the oldest (in law school now), the twins (in college), to the youngest enjoy these shows. Just goofy funny; I make no apologies…
