Conrad's Urbane, Gourmet Private Detective Comes To DVD,
By
This review is from: Cannon: Season Two, Vol. 2 (DVD)
William Conrad had been around for quite some time before he became best known for being private eye Frank Cannon in the Quinn Martin television series, "Cannon." He had been an actor, producer, and director for movies and television shows, and was best known for three programs that used his voice only - being the voice of Matt Dillon on the radio version of "Gunsmoke," the narrator of the classic cartoon series "The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle," and the narrator of another Quinn Martin series, "The Fugitive."
When Martin looked for someone to play an overweight, but very capable private eye in Cannon, he could have picked a better actor than Conrad. Even though he was best known for his vocal talents, Conrad made Cannon a flesh and blood character - charming, humorous, compassionate, and on occasion, violent. For once, Conrad had a chance to show as much talent on camera as he had off camera. And with Martin's penchant for creating solid detective dramas, Cannon became a very popular series. Conrad would have other notable gigs after Cannon, the emcee of CBS' Thanksgiving Day festivities, the DA in "Jake and the Fatman," and for too brief a time, "Nero Wolfe," but he will always be remembered at the portly detective who drove a Mark IV, had a car phone (very rare at the time), and who knew as much about cooking as he did the law.

Great Show. And Fun to watch...,

This review is from: Cannon: Season Two, Vol. 2 (DVD)
This is a great show. And it is when TV was fun to watch. Now TV is about 95% trash... Cannon with Barnaby Jones, Mannix and the rockford Files. was a great time for TV.. The only bad deal with Cannon is the Vol one and two bit. That is one big draw back..
They really need to give you all of the season at onetime.

This review is from: Cannon: Season Two, Vol. 2 (DVD)
cannon is one of the best private eyes on the classic television list of shows
to order. I recommend purchasing it. So far I have enjoyed watching this show and would recommend it to everyone to watch it again as it have been along time since it was on TV. This show was purchased on Amazon and I have purchase alot of the old shows from Amazon. They are very good about shipping it fast.
