William
Conrad starred as Frank Cannon in Cannon,
a crime drama that ran on CBS
from September 1971 to March 1976 and consisted of 124 episodes over 5
seasons. A made-for-television movie based on the series, The Return of
Frank Cannon, aired in 1980.
Cannon was a wealthy private investigator and gourmet chef who lived in
a penthouse on the Sunset Strip. His services were expensive but he got
results. The series had very high production values. Due to Conrad's
rather large size, episodes relied more on plot than action.
An episode of Cannon
in the second season featured Barnaby Jones and
his
daughter-in-law Betty Jones searching for the killer of Barnaby's son
(and Betty's husband). The episode actually turned into the pilot
episode of the series Barnaby
Jones.
