The final season (1968-69) of this beloved sci-fi/western/mystery series finds James T. West (Robert Conrad) and Artemus Gordon (Ross Martin) up to their heroic necks in evil geniuses and steadfastly devoted to keeping post-Civil War America safe. Chugging across the country in their custom rail car, the Wanderer 1, West and Gordon battle all manner of criminal masterminds bent on imperiling the nation or just plain making a tidy illicit profit. Fans of vintage TV will find many familiar faces here, such as: future Mary Tyler Moore anchor dork Ted Knight as a raving preacher in "The Night of the Kraken"; singer-songwriter Jackie DeShannon in "The Night of the Janus"; Jackie "Uncle Fester" Coogan in the midseason two-parter "The Night of the Winged Terror"; and Gilligan's Island denizens Jim Backus and Alan Hale Jr., who figure prominently in "The Night of the Sabatini Death." Michael Dunn returns for his final series turn as Dr. Miguelito Loveless in "The Night of Miguelito's Revenge." Fans will especially appreciate "The Night of the Fugitives," and not just because of the guest turns by veteran heavy Simon Oakland and muscleman Mickey Hargitay (Mariska's dad). This episode, the season's seventh, was actually the last episode shot during the third season, as Conrad suffered a concussion when a jump-and-swing-from-a-chandelier shot turned into a fall-from-the-balcony shot, and production shut down while he recovered. This six-disc set collects all 24 episodes of the final season, an action-packed throwback to the glory days of tough-guy TV. Barnes & Noble
