“Wild, Wild, West” was a great series when I was a young whippersnapper....and no batteries were ever shown in the scenes.

The Wild, Wild West. Black Sheep Squadron. He was one of the last of the “man’s man” actors. His father-in-law was legendary Chicago DJ Eddie Hubbard, who died in Dallas in 2007 following a car crash.

More info from TMZ:
The 1960s and '70s TV and film actor passed away Saturday due to heart failure at his home in Malibu, according to family spokesperson Jeff Ballard. Ballard, on behalf of the Conrads, tells TMZ ... "He lived a wonderfully long life and while the family is saddened by his passing, he will live forever in their hearts."

He is on a couple of times a day on, I think METV.
I always thought they should have added in a few mores “Wilds” in the name. Also just noticed each episode began with “The Night Of”.

Robert Conrad & the Wild Wild West became a cult classic of the 1960’s. For a then teenager it was a wonderful series.

Some might say to keep this out of an obit thread, but this bad behavior can't really be ignored:
On March 31, 2003, while on Highway 4 in the California Sierra foothills near his Alpine County home, Conrad drove his Jaguar over the center median and slammed head-on into a Subaru driven by 26-year-old Kevin Burnett. Both men suffered serious injuries. Tried on felony charges, Conrad pleaded no contest, and he was convicted of drunk driving.
He was sentenced to six months of house confinement, alcohol counseling, and five years' probation. A civil suit filed by Kevin Burnett against Conrad was settled the following year for an undisclosed amount. In 2005, Burnett died at age 28 from perforated ulcers, which his family attributed to his difficult recovery from the crash. Conrad himself suffered severe nerve injuries from the crash, which left his right side partially paralyzed.
Sorry if you're a "not the time or place" kind of person, but rest in peace Mr. Burnett.

It was a twist on the 60s spy craze by setting the spies in the old west.
