RIP Robert Conrad
Forums:
Spent many a Friday night in my youth watching "The Wild, Wid, West."
Robert Conrad, star of ‘Hawaiian Eye’ and ‘The Wild, Wild West,’ dies at 84
Actor Robert Conrad, the star of television series including “Hawaiian Eye,” “The Wild Wild West” and “Baa Baa Black Sheep” during an almost five-decade career that also included the occasional feature film, has died in Malibu, Calif. He was 84.
Conrad toplined at least one series in the 1950s, '60s, '70s, '80s and '90s, a rare feat of longevity for a TV star.

RIP.
But to be honest, I kind of dug the Blacksheep television show yet to me came across as sort of a dickhead in the manor of the guy that played Baretta.

^Where?!
^Where?!
That was my favorite show when I was a kid.
My Dad took me to a small airshow in Watsonville (with biplane wing walkers) and I had a chance to meet Pappy Boington in person. My first thought was, "He doesn't look as cool as the guy on TV." He signed his autograph on a really cool poster of a painting of his Corsair shooting down a Zero. For the life of me, I can't find that poster anywhere. I think my Dad gave it to one of his students when I was away in college.
Thank you, Mr. Conrad.

"he always came off as an overly competitive jerk on that show."
To be fair, he admits that he knew he came off this way, seemed like a conscious marketing strategy.
