“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”.

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.

Conrad was at a beach in the 70s and saw a swimmer being attacked by a shark. He swam out and pulled him to safety, regardless of his own plight.

He also did a great movie in which he portrayed G. Gordon Liddy. Wonderful job!

Unfortunately famous folks always seem to die in 3’s..RIP Robert Conrad :( another icon gone
To: Rastus
On Freerepublic for years, and you Freepers continually impress me with your knowledge and research. So much information on Robert Conrad? Thanks, guys!
To: Rastus
Wild Wild West and that WWII series, I forget the name, in which they were Corsair pilots. Those were great at the time.
To: Rastus
“The exact cause and location of his death were not immediately confirmed.”
I suspect that someone finally took him up on his dare (especially considering the crap he was pushing compared to today’s Lithium batteries).

Until the last re-do starring Will Smith. Totally destroyed it; nothing but a pandering movie. Next one will have a black Asian LGBT woman/man starring.

Me and Jimmy and Bruce sitting on the floor at Jimmys house watching The Wild Wild West.
That Derringer that slid out on his forearm.
The explosives in his heel.
Loved it.
Rest In Peace.
