"Cannon" TV Intro
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 сен 2024
- I thought I’d already posted this TV intro, but apparently not. So here’s the main title sequence from “Cannon,” the 1971-1976 CBS drama starring William Conrad as Frank Cannon, a former Los Angeles police detective who “retired after the deaths of his wife and son in a car accident and later became a private detective.” Cannon was a notably hefty gent who indulged in good food, fine wines, and pricey automobiles.

By the way, this version of the “Cannon” opener comes from the second season episode “To Ride a Tiger,” which originally showed on February 14, 1973.
An underrated detective show from a great decade of TV.
Yes!! Back when they truly cared and loved the craft!! Cannon, Mannix, and Barnaby Jones, we're remarkable shows!!
@@leedonovan8567 Also Baretta, Columbo, The Rockford Files, Starsky and Hutch etc.
Yes but Jake and the fat man bothered me.
Too bad it is not on streaming platforms
@@leedonovan8567Wow! You are bringing back tears of joy bro! Starsky & Hutch, The Rockford Files, McMillan & Wife, Columbo, The Six Million Dollar Man, Harry O, great decade, great times! 🙏
LOVED this show as kid. That was when TV was really good! Everyone was a character that was interesting and you were so fascinated by them... definitely not the story today. TRULY miss these shows. Anyone feel the same?
One reason TV shows are different now is because they are only 40 min. long without the ads. So the editing has to be faster. You can have an "NCIS" but you can't have a "Cannon".

We used to say, "I can't wait to grow up." Now we wish we could go back.
@@alanmorris7669 Yep agreed. The world of today has been ruined by political correctness.
Yes!! William Conrad was and is a good man!! I truly miss this era!!
I agree
William Conrad had the coolest voice on television ever.. he also was the narrator on The Fugitive and Rocky and Bullwinkle....that booming baritone was great!
And, don't forget Wild Wild World of Animals. 😀
@@Sahbomnim Also the 1 season opening of Buck Rodgers in the 25th Century
@@brendonwilliam9813 Yes sir!
@@Sahbomnim Cannon was must watch TV in the 70's !!
@@dankelly5150 Agreed!
Frank Cannon had a friggin phone in his Ford Thunderbird in 1973! And who can forget the karate chop!
It was actually a Lincoln Continental. Cannon was high dollar and had class!
We need Canon today more than ever to fight corruption.
You do realize this was make believe
He always drove those great Lincoln Continentals 👍🏻
Loved these QM introductions. It was usually "special guest star" ... someone I've never heard of.
smsconfig I remember Christine Belford from Banacek.
One of the best QM productions was the Invaders! Awesome Sci-Fi show!
"Starring,.... You'venever Heardofhim... It'shimfrom, you know, what's it called...He's Cheap...and Token Woman...."
Occasionally you would have 1 notable amongst them, who probably was on one of Quinn Martins other shows ( Streets of San Francisco, the FBI, Barnaby Jones, etc.) the previous week. but the protocol for these QM series was If you were an actor in the guild, and your name was on Quinn Martin's Rolodex, you were a "star" to him. At least Aaron Spelling got truly familiar people to guest on his shows.
he was ugly and the serie is very classic
Hearing that music is like a time capsule back to the 70s, weird.
Cannon was one bad dude. His karate chop was the greatest
Along with using his big belly as a weapon to knock down bad guys!
So were his pork chops! (burp)
I loved how he bear-hugged guys unconscious. 😕😒😉
@@whyis45stillalive very WWE
@@bradlafferty6076 How true.
This song Cheers me up. And I get to hear it more often now that I bought the whole Box set of all 5 Cannon seasons 🙂
👍👍
William Conrad, Dan Blocker and Raymond Burr - best "big man" in TV history!
The 70's when every show was about a cop or a private investigator.
Now it’s all cop shows too, and lawyer, csi shows with nothing but bloody murder. At least these old ones were interesting and entertaining, and not just overly gory.
And alot of disaster movies in buildings, in the air, on a ship, in an amusement park or in the ocean....all of it scared me as a kid!!
My favorite 70’s private investigator show was Mannix.
Mannix, Adam-12
I watch this show on MeTV @ 3am during the week, great show 👍
Same 😆
MeTV has introduced me to too many great shows. Cannon, Mannix, The Rifleman, In the Heat of the Night, and so many more.
Such a good station.
i grew up watching this show the 70;s was best time of my life people was nicer back then good friends good tv shows i love you my old friends wish time had stopped
truthparanormal bingo
Still on MeTV before "Barnaby Jones".
Christine Belford totally brings back the 1970's and 80's for me. She was also in "Banacek".
Frank Cannon one of the best ever
Loved this show....Cannon had the dopest ride, and NEVER turned down a meal...
460 Ford engine, 375HP and 500 Lb. Ft of torque. It had to be to haul his fat ass around!
With the built in car phone!
May William Conrad(Cannon) RIP. Passed away 2/11/1994 at age 73 from a heart attack. Quite the career he had.
If you didn’t know the cause of death you would have guessed heart attack. 🫀💣
Couldn't stand this boring 'ol show as a kid in the early seventies. Today at 53, Frank Cannon's my main man. Go get 'em, Frank!
Funny how that works!!
52 here. You're lucky your parents let you watch it. As a 5 or 6 year old, I wasn't allowed to watch this show. My parents thought it was for adults only because of all the guns and violence. Sometimes, I would sneak watch it if my parents weren't around.
@@starwarsrebel2006 LOL...I was 6 when this show came on and 11 when it went off the air. LOVED it. When my siblings and I were younger, we'd sneak and watch this and the FBI on our t.v.s in our room, and quickly turn it off when we heard our parents coming down the hall.
@@curlyjoe5020 Lol!
Great show that's why I bought the complete series👍👍
It's funny how an actor's true nice personality shines in their tv series character. I used to record on my little no-name cassette recorder many tv series music intros, and this was one of my favorites. Conrad played a tough, bad guy in a film noir movie.
If you have a digital tv or if your cable company has the decades channel this great show is on right now.
Cannon and barnaby Jones rule crime tv back in the day. They were law and order before law in order 😅
Incredibly brilliant resume William Conrad has
I loved this show as a kid. Cannon looked like my Uncle Fred.
Used to watch this as a kid with my grandad on Saturday nights, good memories.
My Mother LOVED This GUY!!!
Probably the most 70's Intro in history!
TOTALLY
i enjoy these old shows
William Conrad voiced the role of Marshal Matt Dillon on the "Gunsmoke" radio program from 1952 until 1961
I really like the way that introduction was done. Very Good.
Another great American cop show that we saw in the UK theme music of American cop shows were the best
I and my friend never understood how he chased down bad guys on foot. LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I watched him chase down an open freight truck. He caught up to it and jumped in the back. I think that's when I quit watching that show :)
I loved the intro theme song as a kid, it was so peppy but I was too young to understand the show...
Loved all these shows when we had little choice, Cannon, Kojak, Columbo, Starsky and Hutch... who've i missed?
Baretta

in 1992-1995 I mowed grass for the subdivision.....12 noon every day, my mother had lunch ready to roll.....1 hour break in 90 degree plus weather.....channel 9 and a episode of Cannon!
Growing up watching this, I never could figure out during the intro, why they showed the back of Cannon’s head . 0:05
Cool show!
His photos nowhere near capture the intensity of the blue of his eyes!!
I was a teenager in Florida for a pageant and staying at the Fontainebleau hotel! I was getting on the elevator, and Mr. Conrad got in with me! He smiled a warm smile and said hello.
I was shocked by how crazily BLUE his eyes were! And such a warm presence!
I watched this show when new, I was a kid and in my early teens then. My dad liked this show. Most of the crime dramas up through 1976, created by Quinn Martin, were good. "Cannon" was one of them. Barnaby Jones is another classic, as well as The F.B.I. I wish more of those TV shows produced by that company would be shown on TV now, in their entirety.
They still show these shows on air tv-decades is the channel-Cannon comes on at 2 am then Barnaby Jones @ 3, wish it wasn't so darn late...
Watching this video I forgot it was only an intro and I was waiting to start the episode ! ;-)
This intro is bold. Comes in hot and doesn't let up.
I remember this show when I was 5 years old when it aired on CBS. It never aired again not in even in Reruns in Detroit,, Michigan where I live.
Me-TV late nights 3:00 A M
I watch it every morning at 3 along with Mannix at 2am
@Agent Fungus Nothing wrong with that. William looks like a nice sweet guy in real life.
Always DVR Cannon and Mannix and watch as background noise, as I've seen every episode 2
Watch it almost every night.
I start with Perry Mason.
Twilight Zone, Hitchcock x2.
After that warm up the fun begins with Mannix.
Cannon after that of course!
Finish with 77 Sunset Strip with Kookie!!
I sleep good after that Line Up!!
@@pengli4108 This is my 2nd round of Mannix season 2. Peggy is gorgeous and the women all beautiful. Wish people would still dress like they did back then. Love the muted colors of the production on Mannix and Mission Impossible, which I wish MeTV brought back.
I watched reruns of this as a 4 year old kid when it aired on WOR Ch 9 in the afternoon. It was syndicated by Viacom and they still show the V of Doom whenever the reruns air.
Now I am ready to watch the show.
First show I ever saw anyone use a car phone
While my brother watched Hogans Heroes reruns, I watched this in reruns!
Both are great
Christine Belford -- that actress really brings back the 70's and 80's for me.
She was kinda hot
Does anyone else miss the days when NORMAL LOOKING PEOPLE were on T.V. and in movies?
Well, I'm not sure I would call the clothing and hairstyles of the 70s normal looking.
You must be a millennial! LOL!
Who the heck is abnormal looking on TV and in the movies these days? Or is this just an "old person" thing to say?
I'm with you on that one 100%.
I miss seeing lots of blue eyed white people. Amazing and sad how rare the founding stock of this country has become.
Been doing a weekend long binge of Rocky & Bullwinkle (crappy time financially for me). Had to take time out to see this. Cheers The Rap Sheet!
...I watched this on WOR & WGN in syndication during summers as a kid growing up in the mid-80's. 👍🏽💯
I love this show.
Wm Conrad deserves -- in memory - a star.
They got together and pitched this large detective concept to the Hollywood Executives and they said, "run with it, Bob!"
Cannon Cannon Cannon rap people get it
Joshua Clay that’s a fact! 😂💪🏽
I waiting for that 😂😂😂😂
I love this memorable theme tune but I do wish they hadn't put that voiceover on top of it to spoil it !
Frank was a circle Barnaby was a square.
👏👏👏👏😂😂😂😂😂
Thank you,
The birth of syndication
"To Ride A Tiger"-lol
< this is '73(Ox)-Year Of The Tiger: '74>
That voiceover in the last half of the intro sounds like the same voice from the opening of Police Squad: In Color... "With Rex Hamilton as Abraham Lincoln."
It is. Hank Simms, who also did the guest-star rundowns for "Barnaby Jones", and before that "The Fugitive".
New favorite show!!!!
memories
Groovy, man...
While watching these crime shows, my dad would write down the names that were mentioned in the course of an episode to help him decipher what was happening.
Next to Mannix, my favorite
luv this show
I just started watching this show on Metv at 3:00 and its amazing. Cannon was not highly intelligent but he was tough.
Yes he was.....VERY INTELLIGENT! You people either aren't watching episodes or have poor memories.
Good audio
the voice overs for detective shows was something else as many tv shows had it. it was the early vj concept .
Special Guest Star: Christine Belford. Aka, Deputy Maggie Randall from the 1986 time-travel western “Outlaws”.
This where CANNON came from on Gangsta Grills mixtapes
QM always had the best themes then had that announcer talk over them.
I never knew why.
A Quinn Martin Production..!
Did a lot of backing tracks for Rocky and Bullwrinkle.
I loved his car Circa 1970’s Lincoln Continental Blue
I always liked the episode where Cannon was fired...
I can see where Police Squad got some of their ideas from!
I was a little kid, when this show debuted. I always wondered how the image of Cannon, (in the "outro" with the red background not yelow, not shown here), was produced. It looks like a dot-matrix newsprint image, but it's not. It's much lower resolution, but still retains detail. The dots also get smaller, from one side, to the other. Not unlike the dots, on the edge of a car's windshield.
I just read an article about the early days of facial recognition and that image meshes with that article perfectly. I wonder if This is how that image was produced? This was very National Security sensitive stuff, in 1971.
Member William Conrad Passed Away and he's died in 1994
Will Conrad before Jake and the Fatman !
"Follow your heart to Pacoima..." from the Pacoima tourism video lol
Good show, I always enjoyed it - still do sometimes late at night on MeTV. I don't think they spent much on this theme. In the days of such great detective show theme songs as Barnaby Jones (and Police Story, which is pretty much the same song), Hawaii 5-0 , Rockford Files, Magnum PI, and Mannix, Cannon got this. Maybe they didn't have any confidence in the show and decided to save money everywhere they could.
FAB :)
Takanasi, Cannon!
the best show
so no one gonna mention don cannon???
Legend
Also his “gut crusher” hold!
Cannon you're fired... no but great show.
Th-Th-The CANNON
Neat.
This seems to be a thing with "QM" productions. They also spoilt The Streets of San Francisco theme by doing the same thing.
That would scare the bad guys !
That narrator is the same one who did Barnaby Jones
Cannon's "thing" was being fat, now he looks like an ordinary middle - aged man :)
Norm brought me here.
Very flashy . Very flashy
Valentine's day!
I was knee-high to a ant wow where can I find this stuff Hogan's Heroes Beretta Cannon Streets of San Francisco wow flashback here
