I just saw this in the news. I remember watching that show, and "Baa Baa Black Sheep" on TV, when I was a kid. RIP, Robert. :(

I liked him in the original "Wild Wild West" TV series.

RIP, Bob.

Thanks, for the heads up on Robert Conrad’s passing, Paul. I recall watching Hawaiian Eye.

Meanwhile, Robert kept his eye on this lady:


Ya did good, Robert. Thanks, for entertaining us.

I've never seen "Hawaiian Eye," that I recall. It was before my time, and the only one that came out after I was born was "Baa Baa Black Sheep." I remember watching that with my dad. They used to play all of those shows in syndication when there was independent TV networks, back in the day.

Baa Baa Black Sheep was a great show, and I and my friends looked forward to it too, Paul. :D

Also known for getting behind the wheel of a car after having a few too many. In 2005, he ran for President of the Screen Actors Guild (did not get the position). The same year, the guy he hit while driving drunk in 2003 died. Good times.

Besides being a bada$$ dude in real life, he also had a top-40 pop hit in the late 1950s. He was a shockingly good singer. I just found about that today. He was an icon of my childhood, for sure, between the Wild, Wild West and the Black Sheep.
