    But The Wild, Wild West was cool.

    Sirs, Madames,

    Yeah, Conrad, tough guy, real clutch ... he lost a tiebreaker in Battle of the Network Stars, a 100-yard dash vs (drum roll) Gabe Kaplan.

    Good thing he could fight 'cause he can't run.

    I liked that show. Mostly for Artemus Gordon. Not sure what James West was supposed to be doing except wearing tight clothes.

    Artie would always come up with something cool.

    I knew Friend of the Friendless, fellow Columbo savant, would weigh in here. Also was murderer Bart Keppler (sp?), who put subliminal messages in his test marketing campaigns, thus ensuring a thirsty client would leave the theater to get his; and IIRC a private investigator hired by Ray Milland to see if Milland's wife was having an affair. Culp wound up blackmailing and murdering her. Case hinged on a contact lens lost in shag carpeting, I believe.

    Great Columbo villain. No. 2 to Jack Cassidey, in my opinion.

    Exactly the sort of show that many SJers would love, but hardly a mention here?
    Hard to figure.
    They showed it on FLIX channel around the Super Bowl and I taped it.
    Worth a look, if you haven't seen it.

    Mr Fop,

    Peter Fonda and Robert Vaughn are surviving 60s cool guys of a certain rank (the tier below Paul Newman, Steve McQueen, Lee Marvin and John Cassavetes not including British icons such as Michael Caine and Terence Stamp). Culp joins George Peppard, James Coburn, Charles Bronson, Telly Savalas, Jack Cassidy, etc. It looks like Dennis Hopper is next up.

    I don't put James Garner in the pantheon because there's a bit of him that's not cool per se. James Caan is a slightly later vintage.

    This photo is a graphic reminder of just how gorgeous Natalie Wood was. The stuff of teenage wet dreams for sure.

    Agreed. And Dyan Cannon wasn't too shabby either.

    Natalie Wood is still No. 1 on my all-time non-blonde list.

    Jack Cassidy was scary, under any circumstances. Was married to Shirley
    Jones for a long time. Could never figure that one out.
