Debonair cowboy James West and master of disguise Artemus Gordon are actually Secret Service agents who face Dr. Miguelito Loveless in the never-ending battle for world peace or world domination. It was James Bond in a cowboy setting. Onboard their steam powered train, the duo would save the United States from pending disaster every week, and I was glued to the television set in the late sixties just to enjoy the show. Who can forget the opening cartoon sequence? The theme music was very catchy and we used to hum the melody every time we'd strike a pose that would seemingly anticipate danger... Ah, the fire of our youth... I just love it!
