Season One: 1965–1966
2> Michael Dunn portrayed the brilliant but evil Dr. Loveless in ten episodes of The Wild Wild West. The Wild Wild West was created by Michael Garrison, a movie producer (Peyton Place, The Long, Hot Summer, An Affair to Remember) who had, at one time, co-owned the rights Ian Fleming's first James Bond novel, Casino Royale.[10] Garrison produced the series pilot episode himself[10] but, once the series was approved by the CBS network, it became necessary to find a more experienced producer to handle the subsequent episodes. Garrison, in the meantime, was moved into the position of Executive Producer.[11] Collier Young, who hitherto had produced a series entitled The Rogues, was assigned to The Wild Wild West but, after overseeing only three episodes, was replaced due to "a difference in concept between the network and [him]."[12] Fred Freiberger, his replacement, brought the series back on track with adventures featuring beautiful women, strong adversaries, and "something very bizarre."[13] Also under Freiberger the character of Dr. Loveless was created. Loveless became an immediate hit, resulting in actor Michael Dunn being contracted to do four episodes per season.[14] However, after producing ten episodes, Fred Freiberger was replaced by John Mantley, reputedly due to a behind-the-scenes power struggle.[15] Mantley, who had been associate producer on Gunsmoke, produced seven episodes before he too was replaced. Mantley returned to his former position on Gunsmoke while Gene Coon took over the production reins for of The Wild Wild West. However, Coon left after five episodes to take a screenwriting assignment at Warner Bros., leaving Michael Garrison to take on double-duty as producer and executive producer for the remainder of the season.[16] The 28 first season episodes of The Wild Wild West, all of which were photographed in black and white, were not broadcast in the order that they were filmed. Notably, the early ones produced by Collier Young were moved back in the broadcast schedule in favor of the Fred Freiberger- and John Mantley-produced episodes. The breakdown in broadcast order is thus: Michael Garrison — Episodes 1, 27, and 28 Collier Young — Episodes 5, 9, and 15 Fred Freiberger — Episodes 2-4, 6-8, and 10-13 John Mantley — Episodes 14 and 16-21 Gene Coon — Episodes 23-26 During this season, The Wild Wild West placed at #23 in the ratings for the 1965-1966 season.[17] One episode of this season, "The Night of the Howling Light", received an Emmy nomination for Best Cinematography.[18] Series # Season # Title Director(s) Writer(s) Airdate Artie's disguises 1 1 "The Night of the Inferno" Richard C.

It is the only episode that features the opening credits before the teaser, the only first season episode that features the commercial art break in a cartoon fashion (the remainder of the first season episodes featured them as a textured photograph), and the only episode to place a commercial art break in the bottom center picture. This is also the only episode to feature James Gregory as President Grant.  2 2 "The Night of the Deadly Bed" William Witney George V.

Jim and Artie find that things are not what they seem to be. ■ The second appearance of Tennyson, this was the second episode to be produced (and therefore the first to be made after the pilot) but the ninth to be aired.

Season Two: 1966–1967
2> "Classics of literature, film, and contemporary science were shamelessly commandered as their elements were submurged and made over into a style that was, and still is, unique to television. We sought words and images to convey that style … baroque, outre, tiffany hues, rich crimsons and forest green, all in the mystery of chiaroscuro." — Bruce Lansbury[19] The second season of The Wild Wild West continued the basic format of first season, but also made some changes. The most notable of these was that the series was now shot in color, which enhanced the Victorian ambiance of the 1870s setting.[20] Both Robert Conrad and Ross Martin where given modified wardrobes, with Conrad wearing short bolero jackets and tight-fitting pants.[21] There was also a shift in the choreography of the fight scenes, changing the emphasis from karate (largely used in the first season) to boxing.[22] As in the first season, Dr. Loveless was featured in four episodes. Meanwhile, an attempt was made to establish another recurring villain with the character of Count Manzeppi (played by Victor Buono, who had appeared in the pilot episode). However, the Count was dropped after only two episodes. Again, as in the first season, 28 episodes were produced for the season. Initially, Michael Garrison continued in the dual capacity as producer and executive producer. However, after seven episodes, the producing chores were handed to Bruce Lansbury, the younger brother of actress Angela Lansbury, and Garrison returned to working solely as the series' executive producer. Garrison died on August 17, 1966, when he fell down a flight of stairs at his home in Bel Aire.[23][24][25] The breakdown between the two producers, as broadcast, is:[26] Michael Garrison – Season episodes 1–5, 12, and 14 Bruce Lansbury – Season episodes 6–11, 13, and 15–28 However, the series continued to be listed as "A Michael Garrison Production in association with the CBS Television Network" in the end credits for the rest of the run. The Wild Wild West slipped in the ratings during the second season and failed to be among the 25 most popular shows during the 1966–1967 season.[17] However, guest star Agnes Moorehead won an Emmy as Best Supporting Actress in a Drama Series for her performance in the episode "The Night of the Vicious Valentine."

The only episodes after this point to have stills are "The Night of the Bottomless Pit", "The Night of the Ready-Made Corpse" (the final such episode produced), "The Night of the Man-Eating House" and "The Night of the Infernal Machine".
