Thanks for post. I'm a 'news junkie', but missed this. He's a 'local boy' (Chicago).

I thought Wild, Wild West was a great show. Sorry to hear of his passing.

This later series was also pretty good.

I remember the commercial where he dared you to knock the battery off his shoulder.

So many people we associate with pass away. It was not the case when we were younger.

Baa Baa Black Sheep was one of my favorite shows. Wild Wild west wasn't bad either. Mr. Conrad will be missed.

I hadn't heard this until today. He actually had an amazing mountain house (more like a mountain complex) up in Bear Valley in California across the street from where my folks had a mountain house. My wife once saw him talking out of his sauna with a towel on when we were walking up the road below his house.
