Cannon was a detective series which ran on CBS from 1971 to 1976. It starred William Conrad as the overweight detective Frank Cannon, who charged high fees to his well-to-do clients so that he could work for poorer clients at little or no charge. He also used it to indulge his high-priced lifestyle, which included maintenance on his Lincoln Mark IV, which was frequently wrecked. Cannon had once been a police officer, but was discharged from the force for being overweight. He was also once married with a son, but both were murdered-Cannon, in a tearfully angry confrontation, tracked down the man responsible.
The series was a Quinn Martin production, and featured many of the company's well-known stylistic quirks.
Frank Cannon frequently crossed over to appear on Barnaby Jones.
