The amazing thing about this show, unlike so many others, is that everything came together and they got it right straight out of the gates. The concept was highly original, and while there was a nod to James Bond, the show really was its own entity. Setting the show during the Cival War, yet giving West advanced gadgets and a very non-traditional costume (who else wore Toreodor pants and jacket?), along with memorable villains who also had Cival War inspired devices of mass destruction only enhanced the originality of TWWW. The acting was top notch both by Conrad and Martin, who consistently gave it their all. The guest stars, and the bevy of beauties, must have relished the parts they were given. Who wouldn't want to appear on that show, yet it stayed clear of being Camp, unlike many other 60's shows. It's still great fun today, a true sign of being ahead of its time.
