The Wild Wild West (TV series): Difference between revisions

Line 21:

* [[Bond Villain Stupidity]]: Almost every villain in the series puts Jim and/or Artemus into a death trap... and leaves the room.

* [[Brain In a Jar]]: The villains in "The Night of the Druid's Blood" have several of them.

* [[Breakout Villain]]: Dr. Miguelito Loveless debuted in the third episode, where he was caught (as he was in his second episode - from his third episode onward he was never captured again). But he was so popular (and was a good friend of Robert Conrad's in [[Real Life]]), that he returned several times a year for the first two seasons and once a year after that for the rest of the series.

* [[Captain Ersatz]]: James West to [[James Bond]].

* [[The Cast Showoff]]: Tough call. On the one hand, Ross Martin actually called his role "a showoff's showcase"; on the other hand, Robert Conrad really (and often literally) threw himself into the fight scenes, so much so that he was prone to splitting his pants (something not always fixed in the editing room - see "The Night of the Pistoleros").
