Yes, pretty well stunned when I heard the news...loved Wild Wild West, loved Bob, Ross, and of course, Michael Dunn...let's hope they are together now, enjoying each other's company...

I've got an unfinished Corsair in the hobby area. Time to finish it. Yea, I like the beast, and Conrad too. I watched his shows with interest as a kid and young adult.

oH MY.

Yes I too remember him most as James West.

Not to many of the old times left...

Being British I'm not familiar with Conrad's portfolio. Though I do know Ross Martin as one of the quintessential Columbo slimebag murderers, and recently came across the entirety of the original Sealab 2020 on Youtube. Ross Martin has a really good animation voice.

Also played a murderer on Columbo. Bad guy role for a change. Love The Wild Wild West...mixing the western genre with Jules Verne steampunk-type sci-fi. Great animated opening...even punching the lady with the dagger. She's no lady in Jim West's book.

I just got the old Wild Wild West series on DVD for Christmas, had been dying to watch it again.
Man, this one gets me more than a lot of them.

Wild wild west is cool... just wish they had not made the movie...

Though, it was amusing that he went to accept three of the five Razzie awards "won" by the movie.

(Worst Picture, Worst Screen Couple, Worst Director, Worst Screenplay, and Worst Original Song being the five.)

Did not know that :)

He was also Kahless in TNG.

Um, sorry, Delfi, but Kahless was played by Kevin Conway in Star Trek TNG.

Oh.

Yeah. Wild Wild West was steampunk long before steampunk had been invented.

Indeed

👍🏽Absolutely!

Now I have the West theme stuck in my head

I seem to remember him being a few characters in Star Trek TNG too.

Ah, damn.

Guy looked like he was carved from stone.

I also understand he actually learned how to fly, as an offshoot of playing Boyington. He was also in the TV show, “Hawaiian Eye.”

In the “Wild Wild West,” he did most of his own stunts, until he broke his leg badly. After that the stunt double took over.

Sorry to hear about this. 😔
It seems that the start to the new decade/year 2020 has been a total CRAP SHOW for a lot of us. Not just famous celebrity deaths, but also for a lot of individuals going through a lot in their minds and lives (e.g. severe anxiety [I deal with Generalized Anxiety Disorder aka GAD], depression (yup), etc). But for me, I work my ass off to stay in that positive headspace! With severe anxiety that manifests itself to mimic symptoms of epileptic symptoms (absence seizures and very rarely focal seizures) but seizure activity doesn’t present in the brain thanks to MRI and symptoms of Schizophrenia (paranoia, intrusive thoughts that enrage me with internal mind demons or I like to call them “Mind Terrorists” telling me what to do which I just flip them off with extremely explicit profanity which can escalate my Tourette’s Syndrome which is NOT a cursing disorder but I am one of the 10% that get diagnosed with TS has that) and Tourette’s syndrome is escalating lately which is also on the Autism Spectrum believe it or not. Yes I do have Autism (High Functioning) and proud of it! I am NOT gonna let the start of this year force me to give up!!! PERIOD!

Try eating Cannabis, it relieves many of your symptoms. The mild high goes away in about fifteen minutes, (different from smoking it). Two studies not supported by the bourgeoisie of socialist enforcers like the DEA that like the cash cow of repeat skipping record playing that Marijuana is a gateway drug to heroin lie: an MDA scientist proved cannabis has an enzyme that keeps you from developing Lung Cancer and an MIT study shows Tetrahydracannibol kills leukemia. Both studies were thirty years.

Will miss ya Jim West. Goodbye Pappy.

Yes... my father watched this show regularly, and I was smitten by Bob Conrad.... he certainly got all the girls swooning on the show. R.I.P.

Thank you for making this tribute sketch of Robert Conrad. I am actually a relatively recent fan. Last year I started watching the Wild Wild West on MeTV, looked forward to it every Saturday afternoon. I knew about this show ages ago, just never watched it on any regular basis for whatever reason. But I was super into it last year until they took WWW off completely and replaced that airtime with episodes of the 3 Stooges. I plan to get the DVD set eventually. I liked his Jim West character the best. Definitely one of my heros!

Yeah, I had the deluxe DVD box set of the complete series of Wild Wild West, but it was in a ridiculously HUGE box that took up too much space (And when you have 1800 plus DVDs/ Blu-rays...) I sold it on Amazon for double what I paid, looking at acquiring the complete WWW on Blu-ray in a much smaller box at some point.

I watched the shows when they played on MeTV.

I wondered what had became of him, but not like this.

I didn't know he did his own stunts.
