Trivia:

Goofs:
Miscellaneous: The style of the detective agency's name changes from episode to episode. Sometimes it is "H. West & Company, Private Investigators" and other times it is "Honey West & Co., Private Investigators." In the novels on which the series is based, it was sometimes "H. West, Private Investigators" and other times "H. West, Private Investigations." The reason it was "H. West" in the novels and not "Honey West" was twofold: Honey did not want potential clients to know she was a woman before they met her, and the business, which she had inherited from her father, Hank West, had always been called "H. West." more

It's Time for the Entire First Season on DVD!, 4 March 2005
Author: randwolfray from Fort Scott, Kansas

Why not? Everybody else is doing it. I was 8 years old when this show aired, and all I remember is seeing the honeycomb cells with Honey West's face during the title sequence. Then it was off to another channel to watch good old Gomer Pyle. And therein lies the secret to the mystery of why Honey West disappeared into the mists.

Most people don't know that the enormously popular Make Room For Daddy/Danny Thomas Show spun off the enormously popular Andy Griffith Show, which in turn spun off the enormously popular Gomer Pyle Show. With Honey West in the same time slot as Gomer Pyle, how could she buck a tradition like that?

I sure wish she could have, because when one of the nostalgia networks aired Honey West during the late 1990's, a friend of mine taped several of the episodes for me. Yowsa! Honey West knew the secret of being a great entertainer, because she left me wanting more! And not just because of her sex appeal; she was strong, she was smart, and the stories brought back that wonderful world of thirty-minute dramas and mysteries which we just don't see anymore. With a little bit of suspension of disbelief, Honey West is quite credible, as far as I am concerned. So let's get those DVD's on the market now!
