#3 ...Kind of a sad story re WWW - the show was actually in the Nielsen Top 10 when it was cancelled. The problem was that in the wake of the assassinations of Martin Luther King and Robert Kennedy, TV violence was blamed as one of the underlying causes, and WWW was unfortunately one of - if not the most - violent shows on at the time. So CBS chairman Robert Paley offered it up as a sacrifice.

#4 Wild Wild West was one of my favorite shows growing up. While the character West was in two or three athletic "fistfights" per episode, he hardly ever just drew his gun and started blasting. Plus the show had a whimsical, tongue-in-cheek aspect. Ross Martin (Gordon) getting into disguise and hamming it up was a big part of the fun. The movie with Will Smith was OK but mostly missed the spirit of the original show.

#5 The movie is worth it for Kenneth Branagh's Loveless alone. The definition of over the top by a world class actor.

#6 Conrad also did a fine turn as G. Gordon Liddy in a TV movie.
