I loved Black Sheep. I liked Wild Wild West, but it was really only what we watched while waiting for STAR TREK to come on. As a college student I worked with the son of a man who'd flown with Pappy Boyington, and informed me of the show's technical inaccuracies (nurses, Vella la Cava , etc) but still like the show.
My father once ran into Boyington at the U. S. Naval Sub Base in Groton Connecticut ....had to be 1953-4. My father had a rather direct way of expressing himself, so when I asked him what he thought of the real Boyington, he only said, "drunken bum."
R. I. P. Robert Conrad. You did well.
Of note: actor Orson Bean also died yesterday after being struck by a car. I didn't even realize he was still around....must have been in his 90s.
