I watched this show when I was about 14 or 15 and still loved William Shatner from the original Star Trek. The premise was good and the chemistry between Shatner (Jeff Cable) and original partner Dennis Cole (Cash Conover) in the pilot was great. When the show went to series, it was heavily slashed in terms of support characters. Doug McClure was now Conover, with little or no explanation, and the show lost the chemistry of the pilot. It seems they were trying too hard to be "The Wild Wild West" and lost their voice in the process. Looking back at some episodes now (some 35 years later) I still like the show, but they gave too much away to get it on the air.
