Can you crush the big Cannon trivia quiz?
Karate chop and belly-bump through these questions

Cannon featured one of the least likely and most lovable private detectives of Seventies television. As Cannon, William Conrad cruised around in a land yacht solving crimes. Cannon had an appetite for the finer things in life — and justice. Besting bad guys with a bump of his belly or a well-placed karate chop, this tough guy delivered action with a little levity.
Premiering in the spring of 1971, Cannon pulled in big ratings. It was such a hit that Filmation even considered a Young Cannon cartoon. Alas, that never came to fruition. But we did get five stunt-filled seasons of Cannon.

I really wish MeTV would move Cannon and Barnaby Jones to an earlier time slot.
Me too
His car phone was in reality a radio phone same as Mannix had. A company called LA Mobile would link the call to the phone network. The hand set had a press to send button.
11/20 and I thought I’m lucky if I get one right.
I love this show.Cant believe i got 5 answers wrong.
20 out of 20. This is one of the shows I live for, so I knew all of these!
16/20. Missed his wife's name, missed the "war" question, missed Matt Dillon and missed Hawaii Five-0. Mannix always said he was in Korea (even though Mike Connors was in WWII) I would guess that Cannon would be a little older than Mannix so I guessed WWII for Cannon.
20/20 with some guesses.
17/20. 4, 6 and 14.
15. His narration of MLB's 1978 World Series highlight film was terrible.

#17 could have been more challenging. Hawaii Five-0 was the only CBS series listed. And is anybody going to learn that it's Hawaii Five-0 with a zero?
I got 16 of 20...and I've never watched an episode. Didn't even have to guess on them. Most were just logic.
15/20
Watched part 2 pilot episode last night while taking quiz. Best episode ever!! Frank was kicking everyone's ass!! Even karate chopped dude in bar then proceeded to kick the crap out of 5 bad guys!! Was really throwing his weight around!! Most physical episode I've seen yet!! Don't mess with Frank Cannon!!
I have a new term in my vocab "Land Yacht" Love it it's all I drive lol by the way I scored 20 out of 20 👍😉
Absolutely love this network... No problems with content no foul language it's great! All you need now are classic Hollywood movies and I'll never change it LOL. Thank you for the great shows great memories.👍
I wasn't sure of what model car Frank drove.
But I knew it rode about 4 inches above street level.
A credit to American engineering.

19/20. Missed his wife’s name. I’ve watched every episode. Airing at 3am, it’s perfect for an insomniac like me. Great show and I love seeing the styles of the 70’s. Is it just me or was life better then? 😉
In some ways it was but I am sure glad we have better medical devices now.
Yes, I’ll give you that. ✌🏻😊
Didn't watch the show and did awful on this quiz, but I want to watch the show now LOL :)
You got 16 out of 20
You made the right call! Nice work!
Never really watched the show.
