Why no "Cannon" board? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

tlc38tlc38 · 12-24-2014, 01:08 PM

Just wondering why "Cannon" doesn't have its own board. It was a big hit that ran for 5 seasons.

Hopefully one day it'll finally be completed on DVD!

No Cannon thread, no Flipper or Lassie thread either!

I liked Cannon. I posted somewhere about Cannon on here, can't remember where, but I noticed he didn't have his own thread, and yeah like you said Cannon was on TV a good while.

A lot of cop/detective shows don't have their own message boards. Mannix was on CBS for 8 season and no message board for it either!

robyrob · 01-05-2015, 09:44 AM

usually it depends on how much activity there is related to the show on the boards here.

- so if you keep talking about it, it could happen!

Love William Conrad and Frank Cannon. such a powerful, commanding voice. You know that Bill Conrad narrated the tv series "The Fugitive" in the 1960s.

I like the ME-TV bumper that uses the clip where a boy asks him "How did you get so fat?"

HarryWild · 12-06-2018, 02:16 AM

Before that in the 1940 was Marshall Dillion on the radio!

Like China Beach; Cannon & Flipper are underrated on the SO Forum board but should be on here so does Lassie. If you go Site Suggestions board on SO website then create a post/thread about Lassie, Flipper & Cannon being added onto the Classic Dramas Board.

Unless I am mistaken Cannon is the best and most re-watchable detective show.

1960'sTVfan · 12-07-2018, 07:17 PM

I'm not really a fan of most of the cop/detective shows but Cannon is one that I like and it's mainly because I get a kick out of William Conrad. He doesn't mess around in those Cannon episodes, doesn't take crap from anybody and gets right down to business.

A few other cop/detective shows that I find to be OK are Banacek, Harry O, and Petrocelli. Mod Squad and Streets Of San Francisco are OK too. But that's about it. Shows like Mannix, Rockford Files, Barnaby Jones, no I've never gotten into those.

I wish a pay streaming service had the detective shows you mentioned. Also Harry O. Amazon prime has classic sitcoms but no 60-70s detective shows.

I've been watching some Cannon episodes lately on the complete series DVD that I have. For the most part the episodes are enjoyable but I generally find the endings to be unsatisfactory, everything usually gets resolved too quickly without much explanation, leaving the story incomplete with questions remaining. I like the show but I think the episode endings could have been done better.

Here's an example, in the episode Killer On The Hill, at the end of the episode, Cannon gets the shooter but it's not fully explained as to what happened with the man and woman who hired him to do their dirty deeds, the way it plays out it seems they were not brought to justice and got away with their nefarious schemes.

dakert · 03-20-2019, 02:25 PM

Hi retro, it has been 3 years since we pm'd. I will take a look at Killer On The Hill tonight. Works out perfect as Cannon was on Wednesday and that is what today is.

Hi dakert, I know you like Cannon also and figured you might reply. With the episode Killer On The Hill, there's a scene with the man and woman towards the end before the final shootout, looks like the man is planning to flee and take it on the lam while the woman is just left there, it's not explained or known what happens to them. Very strange, unless there's something I'm missing. This seems to be sort of a complicated episode. Anyhow, watch the episode and see what you think.

dakert · 03-21-2019, 09:35 AM

I watched the episode "Killer On The Hill". The politician wasn't a crook just his wife and aide so I assume he cooperated with authorities and the baddies got theirs in the end. Sort of like an Alfred Hitchcock Presents without the ending explanation.
Good episode, as I like Brooke Bundy in whatever she was in.
