In the second of our two birthday honorings this week, we celebrate what would have been (https://www.facebook.com/killercosmonaut/posts/remembering-american-actor-kevin-dobson-on-his-birthday-march-18-1943-september-/1588417543083373/) Kevin Dobson (https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/general-news/kevin-dobson-actor-on-kojak-and-knots-landing-dies-at-77-4056296/)'s 83rd Birthday by looking at (https://lostmediaarchive.fandom.com/wiki/Shannon_(Partially_Found_1981_CBS_Drama))this short-lived (https://www.reddit.com/r/ForgottenTV/comments/1m904fq/shannon_19811982/) 1981 CBS cop show (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shannon_(1981_TV_series)). Kevin Dobson (https://www.nytimes.com/1981/12/02/arts/tv-dobson-s-shannon-ends-brief-run-tonight.html) plays (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0081928/) a widowed single father who moves from the NYPD to San Francisco. The ratings for this (https://www.tvtango.com/series/shannon_1981/episodes) wouldn't be good, but better things would come for Kevin in the following year thanks to a cast opening on another CBS drama.
