Main Actors:

William Conrad

Plot:

The weekly adventures of Frank Cannon, an overweight, balding ex-cop with a deep voice and expensive tastes in culinary pleasures, who becomes a high-priced private investigator. Since Cannon's girth didn't allow for many fist-fights and gun battles (although there were many), the series substituted car chases and high production values in their place.

Awards:

Nominated for 3 Golden Globes. Another 2 wins & 4 nominations.
