Oh how I enjoyed the Quinn Martin produced shows of the sixties and seventies. Cannon was no exception. William Conrad, before Cannon, was a CBS employee for many years. The voice of Matt Dillon on the radio version of Gunsmoke, and narrator of "The Fugitive," CBS promised Conrad his own series, on TV. Conrad was a big man, and hollywood, with it's obsession with thin and beautiful, stepped out of it's obsession with Cannon. Season 2 was fun to watch. Some of the era's best stars were on the show. The Lincoln Mk 4 Cannon drove, and his mobile car phone were fun to watch as well. This show was nominated for emmys, and was no slouch.

The only things that would make it a little better, would be commentary by say, some guest stars or someone significantly connected with the show. I know this is difficult, since most of them have passed on. William Conrad died in 1994. I also wish that CBS would release the series by seasons rather than volumes. The quality of the DVDs is good, but not outstanding. No HD here, but good. I wish somehow we could get other Quinn Martin shows released to DVD, like Twelve O'Clock High, and the FBI.
