[edit] Citation needed

The article states that CBS bowed to pressure from watchdog groups and cancelled the series. I dispute this- I've never heard anything other than the show was cancelled due to low ratings as the secret agent boom came to an end (only Mission Impossible survived into the 1970s). I have flagged this as a fact that needs to be sourced, or removed. 23skidoo 03:24, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

As no one has added a citation to back this up, I have deleted the statement. 23skidoo 19:18, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

I have restored the statement because it was made by the series producer, Bruce Lansbury, in Susan Kesler's book, "The Wild Wild West: The Series."

Looks good - thanks! 23skidoo 16:13, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Are reviewer comments NPOV?

Question regarding NPOV of this sentence in the article: A review at the Mile High Comics site praises it thusly: “This mini-series perfectly captures the fun mixture of western and spy action that marked the ground-breaking 1960s TV series.” Just in case, I went to the Mile High Comics website, found the synopsis with the above sentence and went ahead and added the link to the article as the source of the comment.

[edit] Similar naming conventions

Is the section about other television programmes with 'similar episode naming conventions' really particularly relevant to this show? --90.240.102.48 17:42, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] First two agents

I know the Will Smith movie ended with West and Gordon being named as the first two Secret Service agents, but I don't recall the series ever gave the characters that distinction. Sir Rhosis 22:03, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
