IMO, yes. I rewatch it regularly. Like ST:TOS, it's an uneven show but generally quite enjoyable.WANTED: Dick Grayson SI trousers; gray AJ Mustang horse; vintage RC Batman (Bruce Wayne) head; minty Wolfman tights; mint Black Knight sword; minty Launcelot boots; Lion Rock (pale) Dracula & Mummy heads; Lion Rock Franky squared boots; Wayne Foundation blue furniture; Flash Gordon/Ming (10") unbroken holsters; CHiPs gloved arms; POTA T2 tan body; CTVT/vintage Friar Tuck robes, BBP TZ Burgess Meredith glasses.Comment

i haven't watched WWW or Baa baa Black Sheep/Black Sheep Squadron, since I was a kid but I always liked them both back then. I was reading that in the final season of WWW he stopped readings the scripts, except for his own lines and he was just winging it
I forgot about the Battle of the Network Stars, he was a team captain I think? He was definitely competitiveComment

I was just gonna post that I remember him more for being an ***** on Battle Of The Network Stars than anything else. The other thing I remember him from was the short lived TV series called Sloan.Comment

Watching WWW on MeTV in recent years I noticed how many of his own stunts he did. There was no unfortunate cuts to an obvious, badly cast stuntman like both Star Trek and Batman often suffered from. That was probably studio dictated, just to get the shows done quicker, but I admire Conrad for really getting in there and doing all the stuff Jim West did.
My Dad is a big fan of the mini-series "Centennial" as well, so I remember him fondly from that too. RIP.

Conrad did many of his own stunts, until he fell and fractured his skull in season 3. After that, and coincidentally with public outcry over TV violence, the shows insurers curtailed his participation and some of the fight content.
There is an infamous scene, caught on camera in the final edit, where he's split his trousers in a fight. They were...snug.WANTED: Dick Grayson SI trousers; gray AJ Mustang horse; vintage RC Batman (Bruce Wayne) head; minty Wolfman tights; mint Black Knight sword; minty Launcelot boots; Lion Rock (pale) Dracula & Mummy heads; Lion Rock Franky squared boots; Wayne Foundation blue furniture; Flash Gordon/Ming (10") unbroken holsters; CHiPs gloved arms; POTA T2 tan body; CTVT/vintage Friar Tuck robes, BBP TZ Burgess Meredith glasses.Comment
