william conrad played marshall dillon on the radio version of gunsmoke. later on the tv series, he often did narration such as for a recap for a two part episode.
Cannon was my favorite too .. The guy was a slob and kind of an eyesore so the show had to have a great plot and great acting to make it .. And it had those in spades. Thanks for uploading this hilarious video.
THE_STORY_GOES....that William Conrad was actually supposed to play the part of "Matt Dillon on Gunsmoke" (instead of James Arness) as he had done the part on the earlier radio version. That was nixed because the producers of Gunsmoke were concerned about his weight and how he would look on screen.
Don't know many that can fill out a pair of Hager Double-Knits like Frank does.
He'd polish of a family size fried chicken basket, 2 sides and Banana split while still maintaining enough stamina to run down (and out shoot) a gang of thugs half his age...WOW!
Don't even talk to me about the chicks...Oh, Cannon got 'em...Every time!
Who wouldn't want to sign on to this diet??? GO FRANK!!!
(You gotta buy the Season One DVD...It's AWESOME!!!)
i know the scene you mean, hilarious, he goes from soft Frank to action frank in a heartbeat, tosses the coffe, punches a guy down and strong arms a guy over some sizzling fries. LOVED the Cannon show and have been buying the long awaitrd DVD's
I am a big fan of the QM(Quinn Martin)shows. He did the narration during the song The Ballad Of John Chisum which starred John Wayne. He also did documentaries and The 1960's TV Show "The Fugitive"
i wish t.v.land would start running shows in the order that they aired...i rather watch old shows then the new ones.style over substance seems to be the norm now...too bad
cannon was the all time coolest p.i.-i remember the episode where kay lenz played a junkie-or how about the episode where frank was cornered and a killer with nitro was coming toward him and shook so much he blew himself up.please come to dvd.
I loved cannon. I watched this show when it first aired in the 70's and I was only 6 or 8 years old at the time. But growing up I forgot the name of the show. I would always remember telling people I loved the fat man with the nice big car....LoL.
in the pilot he had servents and a shooting range in his fancy apartment.when the show started its first season they made his charecter more humble.i was born in 67 so im right there with you.favorite p.i.ever.
DVD's are supposedly coming this summer! I loved Cannon when I was a kid. Hopefully Barnaby Jones and The Invaders won't be too far behind. Quinn Martin produced some good stuff when TV wasn't effects driven and it took writing, acting, and directing to make quality shows.
Funny stuff. Better than that lame ass reality show about high school they've got on now. Only corporations could take the fun out of a network that shows cool re-runs. Long Live Cannon!
this vid is awesome, lost some weight and told some people, i`m on the frank cannon diet!!!!!

Posted elsewhere, I have this fantasy of a veggie activist getting benefits from this diet plan... I think it's under "Cannon Diet Plan."
Follow this plan as close as possible, and YOU could one day play on the Washington Redskins/Hogs offensive line!
