i loved the rockford files. and tho i know i've seen cannell's name on dozens of others shows, i can't remember a damn one of them. little help here, little help.
@standing--The A-Team, 21 Jump Street, The Greatest American Hero, Wiseguy, Hunter, Rip Tide, and Hardcastle and Macormick are some of the more well-known ones. They were all watchable enough, but none particularly impressed me. Had he made those shows and NOT Rockford, I wouldn't have felt the need to memorialize him. And I think to list all those shows would have have taken something away from the one that really did impress me.
Cannell was also involved with Baretta, which I did like a lot, but I didn't mention it because I wanted to avoid the inevitable Robert Blake/murderer comments (there, I just introduced one myself.) Plus Cannell did Tenspeed and Brownshoe back in the '70s, starring Ben Vareen and a then-unknown Jeff Goldbloom. It only lasted one season, but I remember it being pretty funny.
My next big piece should be finished this weekend. It's about a local matter, but I hope to make it as universal as possible (graft is universal, isn't it?)
In order to keep the hucksters, humbugs, scoundrels, psychos, morons, and last but not least, artificial intelligentsia at bay, I have decided to turn on comment moderation. On the plus side, I've gotten rid of the word verification.
