RIP Robert Conrad

[duaneiac]

When I was a boy, there were only two superheroes in my world -- Batman and James T. West. 

Robert Conrad, the actor best known for his role in the television show The Wild Wild West, has died. He was 84.

Thanks for a million wonderful boyhood memories, Mr. Conrad. 

May he (and Artemus Gordon) Rest In Peace.

I was pleased to see the AP's obit devoted a fair amount of space to Hawaiian Eye, the show that really kickstarted Conrad's TV career. It's fallen off the radar somewhat over the years, as it's never had a home video release and hasn't been as frequently syndicated as The Wild Wild West or Baa Baa Black Sheep.

I loved The Wild Wild West and Baa Baa Black Sheep.
