Aww, I loved his show when I was a kid. My dad had a chance to meet him.

I remember seeing him in a Perry Mason episode. Actually I think he was in quite a few different TV shows.

He’s of Armenian decent. Actual name is “Kreker Ohanian” and a WWII vet.

I loved that show. Mannix was so cool, such a great tough guy. Of course, to me the real headline is, Mike Connors was still alive yesterday!

I read Connors was considered for the part of “Perry Mason”, but the producers told Raymond Burr if he dropped 60 lbs, the role was his. He promptly lost the weight.

They waited until Trump took over.

God saw that He didn't need a reserve platoon down here anymore and took His home.

I remember this show from when I was a kid.

Someone would always shoot at Mannix with a scoped 30-06 and miss and Mannix would always plug him with a .38 snugnose at 100 yards...

I bought the CD a few years ago.

RIP Joe Mannix.

Wow, my wife and I just finished watching two episodes of Season Six on dvd. From seven o’clock till nine o’clock.
Just came in here to the computer room to catch the headlines before bed.
