The Wild Wild West is a TV show. Michael Garrison created this show as "James Bond on horseback" as the television western was losing ground to the spy genre. The series followed Secret Service agents James West and Artemus Gordon as they solved crimes, defended the President, and stopped megalomaniacal villains' schemes to take over the U.S. The show contained fantasy aspects like the agents' and enemies' superior technology. Some attribute the steam punk subculture to the show's Victorian era setting and Verne-esque technologies.
