I think this is the 3rd greatest western tv series ever
behind Bonanza and Gunsmoke of course
shareThe main reason I liked it was BECAUSE it wasn't the typical western. Those kind of bored me.
sharegood to hear that
shareThe thing is about this show, and Robert Conrad said it himself in an interview, is that it was actually a science fiction show disguised as a western.
shareI haven't seen enough of Bonanza or Gunsmoke. I enjoyed the first season of Wild Wild West a lot. In fact, I would say it's one of the best seasons I've seen, certainly one of the most entertaining. But I haven't watched beyond that. I need to rewatch S1 and then go into the rest of the series.
The Adventures of Brisco County Jr is probably my favorite western so far. Great blend of action, humor, western and even some SF.
A few others I am curious about are Rawhide, Maverick, Have Gun Will Travel, High Chaparral, Alias Smith and Jones, Deadwood.
No Kung fu on your list.I don't watch many westerns.Kung fu, Wild wild west and Brisco County jr are favorites.

...plus of course, a spy show (James Bond = James West.)
Indeed, The Wild Wild West was the Number ONE Science Fiction Western Spy series.
