    I started watching "THE WILD, WILD WEST" at age 5 or so during the last year or two of the original airings, though more so right after it went into syndication. Robert inspired me to get into shape at a young age, with my still looking extremely good at the age of 60. Watching the way he moved on TV also helped me learn how to carry myself and handle myself when needed. While he never knew it, he greatly influenced my life. I went on to become a mechanical design engineer. When other's tried politics over substance, my Conrad inspired confidence always won out . Thank you Mr. Conrad and rest in piece. - Bob A.

      Robert Conrad passed away right before the pandemic in 2020. Hard to believe it's been over 4 years he left us.

      I didnt know he passed away until today, I just happened to think of that show wild wild west, and started looking stuff up about Robert Conrad and Ross Martin. I didn't even know his counterpart Ross Martin died in 1981 at the age of 61.

    ..big fan of Wild Wild West. It was rebroadcast at 10pm EST here and even though a workday I never missed an episode. Conrad was a stud and a pretty darn good actor. Seeing his last photos hit me pretty hard…I’m 76 and those photos served as a reminder of how quickly we get here…sad

    Always one of my favorite actors. The Wild Wild West was so fun to watch, back in the day. Conrad always seemed to me to be a real class act. RIP, you fine actor and consummate entertainer.

      I watched the Wild Wild West too as a kid, and thought it was fun. But as an adult, when I analyzed the show, I realized that James West was no hero, or cut from heroic cloth. He was, in effect, a government assassin who killed whomever the President wanted killed. Or whomever the president--or he himself--simply did not like.
      In the four years that the series ran on air, James West must have killed, directly or indirectly, at least a thousand people--that's 250 human beings per year. But unlike his SS counterparts in World War II--the einzatzgruppen--James West never got tired of killing, never needed psychological counseling owing to the stress of constantly killing, and never had a nervous breakdown or drank himself into a stupor to dull the pain of killing constantly.
      Since James West, the super agent, never suffered any psychological damage from his killings--the effects of which would leave a normal human being severely traumatized--suggests that James West was a psychopathic killer, not an iconic hero fighting for good. Or to use present-day terminology: James West was a serial killer.

    The Wild Wild West (TWWW) was uncermoniously cancelled by CBS when society stipulated that it was deemed "too violent"
    During the Golden Age of Television there were 23 Westerns on prime time television and TWWW was one of the best!
    The show was a groundbreaker combining the rough and tumble of a Western with the spy gadgetry of Secret Agents ala James Bond.
    From the Dagger in the back of his coat, to the Lock Pick in the lapel of his jacket to the Derringer up his sleeve to the explosives in the heels of his Boots, Robert Conrad made James West an icon in television history.
    The show's immense popularity is still evident by it being part of a Saturday Morning lineup of Westerns on MeTV that I watch every Saturday.
    I'm certainly glad that I bought the 40th Wild Wild West Anniversary DVD Box Set to continue to enjoy West and his sidekick Artemus Gordon portrayed brilliantly by the late Ross Martin battle and thwart the plans of some of the most dangerous foes like Dr. Miguelito Loveless masterfully player by the late diminutive Michael Dunn.
    Conrad's legacy will continue to live on as James West!

    Just saw an old "Mission Impossible" episode where he appears as a boxing coach named "Bobby." He wore blue shorts and a blue shirt (same colors as Jim West) and another guy at the gym was named "Artie." Definitely a tip of the hat to "The Wild, Wild West." Conrad does some real boxing in that, too, and he's pretty damn good at it!

      🎉​@@peteyspaletas2023But Robert Conrad bears no responsibility for his actions? He made a deliberate choice to drive with a blood-alcohol level 3 times the legal limit when he could have easily gotten a ride back home from one of his friends (a designated driver).
      Maybe he began believing his own hype: James West, the super agent who's indestructible and can do whatever he wants.
