The Wild Wild West TV Show Goofs

Explore goofs from the TV show the Wild Wild West from the 1960's which starred Robert Conrad as Jim West or James West and Ross Martin as Artemus Gordon, also known as Artie. The show was an action packed western with a little bit of sci-fi and James Bond spy drama throw into the mix. It involved a lot of dangerous stunts that Robert Conrad the actor did himself, for the most part, until he had a serious injury toward the end of the series.

Ross Martin as Artemus Gordon was the master of disguise. The pace of the show was fast and so must have been the shooting schedule as a few puzzling goofs managed to creep into the series over time. Some of these goofs or bloopers may not have been worthy of reshoots like a small airplane, jet, car, or truck in the background, but a couple really affected the continuity.

As we look for goofs see stunts go wrong, modern vehicles in a western, and weird continuity issues that affected the story and even one that should have changed the outcome. This television series ran from 1965 to 1969 and provided a unique look at the old west. It stands even with a few goofs, mistakes, and bloopers as a part of classic television history.
