Before the Horrible Movie, There Was a TV Show

Making a strong and surprising showing on Amazon's top sellers list (#5), the original Wild Wild West comes out on DVD today.

It seems that people have forgiven/forgotten the movie version with Will Smith and that annoying theme song (ugh, now its in my head).

I mostly remember the star, Robert Conrad, from Battle of the Network Stars. Remember the race off between him and Mr. Kotter? Those shows were the best!

Read an interview with Robert Conrad in The Seattle Times


Wikipedia has a great summary of Battle of the Network Stars. Note how Gabe Kaplan became "Gabriel" in 1978. Oooh oooh Mr. Kotter, stick with Gabe.
