Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThere are often differences between a pilot film and the subsequent series. In this, Cannon has an assistant to help him, and his apartment has a maid, an exercise cycle, and an indoor shooting range. When the series started there was no assistant, maid, or exercise cycle but he still had a firing range, which was seen one time in an early season one episode. He lived in a different apartment in a different building.
- GoofsAt about the 26 minute mark, the first letter on the name of the cab was covered with white tape, as the name "Hecker" was originally "Checker".
- Quotes
Boy: [Looking, at Frank's stomach] Hi.
Frank Cannon: Hi.
Boy: How did you get that fat?
Frank Cannon: [Frank, pats his stomach jokingly] It's not easy.

Featured review
Dazzlingly athletic
How ever did Frank Cannon manage to routinely catch assorted fleet-footed and well-motivated bad lads simply by lumbering painfully around his classic piece of early 70's, swimming pool-sized, rocking-suspensioned, Detroit iron lump? Especially with his red-faced wheezing, puffing signs of imminent cardiac disaster at the mere effort of just squeezing himself out of the door.
Then, without further pursuit (since Direction must have this week's villain keep running on the spot until our porcine pursuer catches up from around the other side the of car hood) immediately disable them with one blow on some random anatomical feature (such as a shoulder blade, say, or that well-known vulnerable bit on the top of the arm) from his flailing hammy forearm?
I'll never know. But there you go. It passed the time til Jim Rockford showed up. And it was A! Quinn! Martin! Production!
