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.

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.
