That that lasted 5 seasons is a travesti when my favorite shows barely made it to 1! Putting fast moving dots, albeit very colorful dots, on my TV screen with this guy's face in the intro.
Cannons wife and son were killed by mistake. Blown up by a congressman who thought he was killing a hooker.
It is very enjoyable for me to Watch this TV show again, after nearly forty years, since I was a child. A Quinn Martin production is always Worth seeing.
Remembering the vast numbers of shows out there in TV Land like this one that COULD be shown, it irritates me no end how of the 5 million channels out there, not one of them shows shows like this! (Not even TV Land hmmmm...
I love Cannon. I grew up watching these on tv, it's a different time, keep that in mind and enjoy!
When "Cannon" was a prime time show, I rarely ever watched it because the show sounded like a bad concept. Imagine....
I have no idea why, but there were quite a few episodes of TV detectives going to crappy towns in New Mexico where the law doesn't care about upholding the law. Mannix went to a couple of these places and so did Cannon a couple times.
I love detective shows. One can watch Cannon on TV Land.
"Cannon" was probably the least pompous of the original entries in television's anti- establishment police/private-eye sub-genre; setting the stage for "Harry-O" and "The Rockford Files". Rotund actor William Conrad played the title character; dubbed "Cannonball" in Mad Magazine's satire of the series.
