a5c7b9f00b 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. Frank Cannon is an overweight, balding ex-cop with a deep voice and expensive tastes in culinary pleasures; he becomes a high-priced private investigator. Unlike more recent detective series that are little more than an hour of car chases, graphic bomb scenes and other gratuitous violence, Cannon showed a detective carefully and cleverly going about the business of solving perplexing crimes. Moreover, unlike The Rockford Files and others which strain credibility by portraying a supposedly successful detectivealways having trouble paying his bills, Cannon shows a very successful detective surrounded by the trappings of success sucha beautiful Mark IV and an expensive penthouse apartment. All in all a great series. For those of you who don't know it was actually a spin-off from Barnaby Jones. Barnaby introduced the character. It's great to show my kiddo the shows I grew up on in the 70s. Rockford Files is still my favorite but it's great to watch Cannon again.
