Apart from the Energizer commercials and some mostly forgettable TV movies...
Looks like the author forgot the very good Centennial, the mini-series version of Michener's book of the same title and one of my all-time favorite television events. Shame on him. Conrad was great in the role of the crazy French trapper, Pasquinel.

Actually Bob Conrad is
not one of your typical Hollywierdos.
He's from Chicago and is really a stand up 'regular' guy. He lived in the area of 33rd & Archer Ave (Bridgeport) and worked for a time in the 1950's on docks of Consolidated Freightways, CF , when they were a tiny trucking company. An Uncle of mine was a driver for CF (employee #54) knew him.
Conrad is also a BIG supporter of the Boy Scouts and would come back to Chicago for fund raising dinners and luncheons. I met him at a luncheon at the Conrad Hilton in the early 1980's and again, he's a regular guy. Oh, he might be on the 'small' side, but his shoulders are big, I wouldn't try to knock anything off them, that's for sure.
I'm not excusing him for what he did, but he's not a 'Hollyweirdo'.

Palm Springs Weekend. Bob Conrad already did that same scene in Palm Springs Weekend. That movie is notable for having the absolute worst dancer performing in the history of movies---Troy Donahue. It is worth seeing that movie just to see Troy Donahue struggling to dance.

$4,000 in fines and restitution
I hope he pays more damages than that (I suppose the insurance must have). He broke a guy's wrist and ankle, not to mention smashing his car.

It does seem that if you can afford a good attorney, have some name recognition as well as available money, there aren't too many rules which can't be bent a country mile.
I do not have much sympathy for Mr. Conrad other than for his addiction to alcohol. It would be great if he were able to see his problem and then ask for help. That's his only hope.
Otherwise Robert Conrad should not be allowed to drive again. His next victim might not be as lucky.

I don't recall that one. He sure was a talented actor.

When I read the headline, I was hoping it was Kent Conrad, Dem Dakota-Doofus Senator. Nuts.

Really? Westerns had not been a favorite for me so when I first watched Wild Wild West I almost turned off the television. Once I understood what it was about, I enjoyed watching.

ROFL!
Too bad I couldn't add the music theme to "Wild Wild West" onto the thread.

Perfect, Atomicpossum! Excellent timing! Now all we need is the theme music.

Money would not matter if the young man were completely healed and rehabilitated. However if he suffered long term physical injury, then the man should be very well compensated.
The problem is that Conrad can just throw money at the system and he basically walks. It is not fair nor is it prudent since he could go out and do it again.
Robert Conrad's drinking is a problem which money can't fix.

LOL! Just thinking about Troy Donahue trying to dance is very funny. I'll add the movie to my "Movies to Rent List." Thanks!

The venom is flowing this morning of Thanksgiving.
Conrad has always been known as a stand up guy. He certainly made a serious drunken mistake but his life has been pretty close to the vest. He is a well known conservative and supports conservative causes.
I don't think the state wants to put any 69 year old in jail. The punishment fits the crime.
I work with a lot of guys who drink too much too often and they are as conservative as they come. Alcohol abuses anyone who gives it a chance.

He should have been sentenced to ride the Dodge-ems with Billy Joel, Richard Dreyfus, Kelsey Grammer, Halley Berry...
