Loved both shows.
The villains on "Wild, Wild West" were delightful in their cartoonish way. Fun show to watch. "Black Sheep" was also highly entertaining. Mr. Conrad also was quite an on-screen ladies' man. RIP.
Even though he often played a tough guy, he still had a good sense of humor about it.

Friday night!!!
No one will ever knock that battery off his shoulder.
I agree with everyone...used to love WWW.
He was a murderer in a classic Columbo episode too.
Naturally, he owned a gym.

I always thought French looked more like the real Pappy Boyington.
From the Medal of Honor citation for Major Gregory Boyington
Medal of Honor Citation: For extraordinary heroism and valiant devotion to duty as commanding officer of Marine Fighting Squadron 214 in action against enemy Japanese forces in the Central Solomons area from 12 September 1943 to 3 January 1944. Consistently outnumbered throughout successive hazardous flights over heavily defended hostile territory, Maj. Boyington struck at the enemy with daring and courageous persistence, leading his squadron into combat with devastating results to Japanese shipping, shore installations, and aerial forces. Resolute in his efforts to inflict crippling damage on the enemy, Maj. Boyington led a formation of 24 fighters over Kahili on 17 October and, persistently circling the airdrome where 60 hostile aircraft were grounded, boldly challenged the Japanese to send up planes. Under his brilliant command, our fighters shot down 20 enemy craft in the ensuing action without the loss of a single ship. A superb airman and determined fighter against overwhelming odds, Maj. Boyington personally destroyed 26 of the many Japanese planes shot down by his squadron and, by his forceful leadership, developed the combat readiness in his command which was a distinctive factor in the Allied aerial achievements in this vitally strategic area.

Didn't he do commercials for Interstate battery? They had to knock a car battery off of his shoulder, right?
