RIP.
Aww, I loved his show when I was a kid. My dad had a chance to meet him.
He’s Armenian, right?
I remember seeing him in a Perry Mason episode. Actually I think he was in quite a few different TV shows.
Enjoyed “Mannix.” RIP.
Enjoyed his shows for years.
I can hear the theme song as I type... RIP!
He’s of Armenian decent. Actual name is “Kreker Ohanian” and a WWII vet.
I loved that show. Mannix was so cool, such a great tough guy. Of course, to me the real headline is, Mike Connors was still alive yesterday!

Just damn :( RIP
Crossing my fingers we don’t lose another part of our youth tomorrow.
I enjoyed him in Mannix as a kid.
who next? Peter Lupus ?
I read Connors was considered for the part of “Perry Mason”, but the producers told Raymond Burr if he dropped 60 lbs, the role was his. He promptly lost the weight.
God saw that He didn't need a reserve platoon down here anymore and took His home.
I remember this show from when I was a kid.
Someone would always shoot at Mannix with a scoped 30-06 and miss and Mannix would always plug him with a .38 snugnose at 100 yards...
I bought the CD a few years ago.
RIP Joe Mannix.

Wow, my wife and I just finished watching two episodes of Season Six on dvd. From seven o’clock till nine o’clock.
Just came in here to the computer room to catch the headlines before bed.
Something me and my dad enjoyed together. RIP.
