Loved him (Ross Martin too) in Wild Wild West. The show was the sacrificial lamb to the furor over TV violence in the late 60s.  Micheal Dunn was awesome a Dr Loveless

He was great in Wild Wild West used to love that show growing up. 

 

[Blitzkrieg]

Also loved him in the mini series "Centennial" as the French trapper Pasqunal.

He also used to do some of his own stunts.

Some of the articles I have read said that Wild Wild West and Baa Baa Black Sheep were taken off the air because they were deemed too violent back then.

Contrast that with shows like CSI today and you can see how far the wheel has turned on that one.

Used to watch Baa Baa Black Sheep religiously back then.

I also remember the battery commercial, "I dare you to knock it off".
