I always thought that he replaced adam cartwright aka parnell roberts. This was a great show I enjoyed it very much and still do!

[antoniorossiz]

This man should be in feature films.

[4miyahart]

correction,it was the the middle of season 5 when Guy Williams came in

@RandyAKing Not really sure...he praises Landon's re-writes and direction. Wish he could have talked more about the interaction between the principals. I wish there was more about how the cast and staff felt about Blocker. The show folded only one year after his death.

I wonder who was the actor hired previous to David Canary? I don't remember any handsome recurring men after Adam left...

[RandyAKing]

He seems to be skirting around some hidden animus for Michael Landon.

Dear AAT: I am enjoying the interview, but I have to say that I think it's rather redundant to ask the actor to recall a specific episode or show that was done decades ago. Why not try videos & show it to them prior to the interview so that they'll have time to recall it? Respectfully, how would you like it if you were asked to specifically to remember what you wore on May 12, 1971? I know I would'nt be about to answer that.

[nickwalco]

He still has that twinkle in his eye and that Gorgeous smile.... I love Adam and Candy :D

Little Joe /Michael Landon Candy David Cannary And Hoss were great together !!!! One of the best series ever !!!!!! Best Wishes to David!!!!!!!!

[buckyucky]

ya he really is a super stud. ya gotta wonder why God doesn't let alotta people live forever, and have eternal youth, and this would be one of them

[TRENZ2]

I've been in love with him since I was 13.

[HeartofTopaz]

This guy is my second cousin. He looks a lot like my late grandfather. Funny...David Canary was going to go into medicine, but instead became a doctor, and I always wanted to be an actress, but instead, went into medicine. We're related to Calamity Jane Canary. Ok, ok, I know...I'm bragging now...so what. You don't know who I am anyway LOL
