That bites. That was one I could watch with my Dad.
Dad would try to guess at the beginning at what
point in the episode Mannix would be beaten unconscious.
He also had lousy luck with cars.
RIP Mike Connors.

I remember him more for "Tightrope" First time I ever saw a middle of the back holster and how each week he would sneak his gun in, just in time to save his derriere!

Pretty soon all we'll have memories and crummy film/video. Seems like every day now. (oops, forgot, I'm in that age group now 
)

Another good un gone, never to be replace. The show was kind of hi-tech in away because of the Buick size computer featured used by the company he PI'd for. He was a cool dude and a can do guy. Gonna miss him...

My wife and I watched Mannix during the 70s and quickly realized that he was concussion proof. Every episode he got the stuff beat out of him.

Different Mike Connors. His son was born in 1950 and is still alive. Chuck was born in 1921.
Chuck Connors played professional baseball and basketball. But I digress,

I was flipping channels the other night and locked into a Mannix episode and Neil Diamond was playing in some nightclub. Someone started a fight with Mannix and Neil got upset because of the interruption. Neat old show.

Looked him up on Wiki.
Real name was Krekor Ohanian. First gen. US citizen. Father was Armenian. Krekor was born in CA.
I think he would have been well suited to play Matt Helm. He looked quite a bit like Helm as drawn on the book covers. Certainly would have been better in the role than was Dean Martin.

I remember watching Mannix when we were growing up. Yet another star from my childhood bites the dust.

Yeah, Dean was mostly just playing a drunk.

It's difficult, isn't it, watching your childhood/"teenhood" heroes, TV and movie, pass away. It's even more difficult when they leave us in droves... Carpe diem.

Looks like 2017 is going to be as bad as 2016.
In one week, we lost Mary Tyler Moore, Mike Connors, and John Hurt.
Not a good start.
