Sorry to hear this - RIP Mr. Conrad
I was also a big fan of Black Sheep Squadron and the Wild Wild West - FETV is showing the Wild Wild West episodes again

That makes three this week; Kirk Douglas, Orson Bean, and Robert Conrad.

Knew the day was coming but was hoping it would be a while. I was a huge fan of Robert Conrad, watching most of his shows (including the failed ones like "A Man Called Sloane") starting with "The Wild, Wild West."
R.I.P., Mr. Conrad.

Honestly I thought he was gone decades ago, but it's pretty awful what happened, for him to live so long and die that way.
Not to make light of it, but the news reporter kept referring to him as "Mr. Bean", and while accurate, it conjures up confusing images in ones head.

Robert Conrad was a feisty individual. Saw him and Robert Blake jump up, square off and almost come to blows on the Johnny Carson show back in the late 70's. Some dispute over what was happening at the time with SAG(Screen Actors Guild/Union)

Bob would have been so happy, that in the obit I saw, there was a photo of him with his shirt off. I think it was in his contract, that at some point in every episode of whatever show he was in, there would be an excuse to take his shirt off.
