Cannon DVD cover (season one).
TV Series (1971-1976)
Starring:
William Conrad (Frank Cannon)
Patrick Culliton (Guest)
Tom Pittman (Deputy Bill Morgan)
Charles Bateman (Lt. Tarcher)
Donovan Jones (Director)
Simon Scott (Ethan Kehoe)
The weekly adventures of Frank Cannon, an overweight, balding ex-cop with a deep voice and expensive tastes in culinary pleasures, who becomes a high-priced private investigator. Since Cannon's girth didn't allow for many fist-fights and gun battles (although there were many), the series substituted car chases and high production values in their place.
