Whatever else is competing for your attention this week, The Wild Wild West is worth clearing space for. The Wild Wild West does what great comedies rarely manage — it is actually funny, consistently, across the whole run. 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. Between them, Robert Conrad and Ross Martin carry the comedy without ever forcing it. 4 seasons (1965–1969) gave the story room most shows never get. The timing in The Wild Wild West is precise enough that even the throwaway lines land on a second watch. The consistency throughout is what elevates it — not every moment is the best, but none of them are a reason to stop watching.
