"Elaborate little subterfuges" and "intricate dramas" await the suave and dashing frontier 007, James West (Robert Conrad) and his partner, master of disguise Artemus Gordon (Ross Martin), courtesy of a gallery of rogues and flamboyant villains with grandiose schemes of world domination. Among them: Victor Freemantle ("The Night of Bubbling Death"), bent on establishing his own Texas Panhandle domain; the Falcon ("The Night of the Falcon"), who aims his behemoth cannon at Denver and conspires with a European syndicate to put the rest of the world under the gun; Emmett Stark ("The Night of the Death Masks"), who breaks out of prison to stage an elaborate and bizarre revenge against his captors, West and Gordon; and, of course, West's ultimate nemesis, the diminutive Dr. Miguelito Loveless ("The Night Dr. Loveless Died"), whose demise could just be "another typical Loveless prank."

Great fun!

We have the first two series and the third series lives up to the reputation of the show itself. I would have loved to see more episodes with Migelito Loveless, however. Lots of fun and thrills - Definite thumbs up! (Plus, I happen to be a big fan of Robert Conrad...his classic great looks add much to the series.)

Another Must Own DVD, but again, why no extras?

The third season definitely has a more western theme. There aren't any bad episodes at all. Most impressive is the transfers to the DVD format. Some of those outside shots are incredible. The episodes look like they were filmed yesterday, not 40yrs ago! However, the same old question remains, why isn't there any commentary from Robert Conrad? The way he introduced each episode in the first season, and gave some history about them was absolutely enjoyable. That is what makes DVD's treasured and worth buying. The fourth and last season will be out soon. Couldn't the studio pack it full of special features, extras, and more commentary from Robert Conrad? It would be a great way to wrap up all four seasons for sure.

The BEST television show of all time (third season)...maybe the BEST season, too?

Quite simply, this is the most amazing, entertaining, and colorful television show ever produced (and, yes, that goes for even the first season in black and white)! Robert Conrad is mesmerizing as Agent James West, while Ross Martin is magical and witty as Agent Artemus Gordon. What can I add to all the other 5-star reviews at this juncture? Only this: they are correct. Get this asap (and the other seasons, too). While all FOUR seasons are terrific in their own way, this may be perhaps the best of them all for consistency and entertainment value. Many of my favorite episodes come from this season. Some of my favorites: "TNOT Firebrand", "TN Dr. Loveless Died", "TNOT Death Masks", "TNOT Vipers", and "TNOT Arrow".
