Frank Cannon lives in a penthouse on the Sunset Strip, where his passion is gourmet cuisine prepared by himself. In between meals he hires out as a private investigator to select clients in need of top-drawer work from a professional trained in the ways of the world.
Cannon is a CBS detective television series produced by Quinn Martin which aired from March 26, 1971 to March 3, 1976.
The primary protagonist was the title character, Frank Cannon, played by William Conrad.
In 1973, Cannon spawned a spinoff series, Barnaby Jones.
Cannon was the first Quinn Martin-produced series to be aired on a network other than ABC. A "revival" television film, The Return of Frank Cannon, was aired on November 1, 1980.
Some time before the events of the debut episode, Frank Cannon was a detective with the Los Angeles police department. However, he resigned after the deaths of his wife and son in a car accident and later became a private detective. The cause of death of Cannon's wife and child is not clear. In one of the later season it is mentioned that Cannon's wife and child were killed in an explosion caused by a bomb meant for Cannon.
Although the noticeably overweight Frank Cannon had expensive tastes, especially in food and cars (his primary vehicle was a silver Lincoln Continental Mark III), he also felt there was a need for someone to help people who had little or no money. For this reason, he charged his more affluent clients hefty fees so he could aid the less affluent.
[edit] Barnaby Jones
The second-season episode "Requiem for a Son" introduced the character of Barnaby Jones (Buddy Ebsen), an aging veteran private investigator who had retired and turned over his agency to his son, Hal. However, Hal is killed. With the aide of Cannon and Hal's widow, Betty Jones (Lee Meriwether), they hunt down Hal's killer. Afterward, Jones decides to come out of retirement. [Edit: "Requiem for a Son" was planned as a second-season Cannon episode, but when Barnaby Jones was sold as a separate series, the script was reworked into the premiere of that show. William Conrad appeared as Cannon in the guise of a special guest star.]
There was additional "crossover" between the series. The first part of the two-part episode, "The Deadly Conspiracy", was aired during a fifth-season Cannon episode on September 17, 1975; the second part was aired two nights later as Barnaby Jones's fourth-season premiere.
