TehPW Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 Yeah, I was humming the theme to WWW this evening off & on after hearing about this. Did he ever offer his opinion of Will Smith's remake? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what I know him best from. I can still hear the air raid siren from the opening in my head. Rest in peace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dynaman Posted February 9, 2020 Author Share Posted February 9, 2020 I forgot all about Black Sheep Squadron. Now that you mention it I do remember him in that as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big s Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 I used to watch Black Sheep Squadron a lot as a kid. They weren’t the original run, but the syndicated repeats. It was before cable or internet streaming, so there weren’t too many options for tv on the weekends. I think it came on early Sundays when I was watching it and really liked it as a kid. And yeah that opening was unforgettable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M'Kyuun Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 I grew up watching Wild, Wild West. I'm not a fan of Westerns, per se, but the 'James Bond set in the old West' approach, with a bit of steampunk (before steampunk was a thing) thrown in made it a cool show. The Will Smith movie did it poor justice, although they get points for the steam operated giant spider mech. Anyway, Mr. Conrad was the real James West; he brought a coolness to the role that made the show engaging. That's my lasting memory of him, and it's good. RIP Mr. Conrad.
