Pappy! *tackles*

Oh, man, I miss that show. It's one of those shows I'd watch over and over in reruns, but I can't find it anywhere lately.
:(

I don't usually do RPF, but since Hollywood fudged the truth for TV, I have no problem playing with the Black Sheep.

My Robert Conrad crush of the 80's was IN-TENSE!

I don't consider Black Sheep to be RPF, because as you mention, they changed so much. HOWEVER, I've read the book and and on occasion I have incorporated more of the truth into my Black Ship fic, especially Greg Boyington's alcoholism.

If you haven't read it, may I rec this very nice and not surprisingly fluffy fic that vanillafluffy wrote for Yuletide in 2009: http://archiveofourown.org/works/33352

Thanks for the link. *memorizes* I adore fluffy's work.

My love for Bob Conrad goes all the way back to The Wild, Wild, West. Jim West's twinkling blue eyes, cocky smile, and skin tight pants had my little heart all a-flutter even if I didn't know why.

Plus, he had that gorgeous black horse. The way to a man's heart may be through his stomach, but the secret to a little girl's is a horse. A big girl's, too: Bonanza, Big Valley, Virginian, *sigh* I miss the days when Westerns ruled.

That man was FINE back in the day and pretty much through the 80's. I've written a few WWW fics, if you're interested as well.
