the great memory of childhood include play sport and watch television ( it be always on when i be in the house . ) . for my money and the 70 produce the best show and detective or cop series in particular represent starsky and hutch and baretta and kojak and s. w. a. t. barnaby jones and the rookie etc . and of course cannon . the plot have be describe already represent william conrad star a frank cannon and a heavy set private detective who take ( and invariably solve ) case of interest . aside from occasional help from his police contact in gather some fact from time to time and cannon work alone and rely on intelligence and the occasional gun play to get thing do . present in the trademark quinn martin format of act i and ii and iii and iv and cannon be thoroughly enjoyable . the fun in watch today lie in the many great character actor of the day ( many of whom appear on every show of the decade and it seem . ) and the sterile violence and the personal childhood memories the show hold . a great way to spend an hour .
