Where To Watch
Can you tell the difference between Cannon and Mannix?
Can you tell these tough 1970s detectives apart?
In the early Seventies, no television detectives were tougher than Joe Mannix and Frank Cannon. They both took on crooks with cool cars and karate chops. They could also take a licking.
Mike Connors (Mannix) and William Conrad (Cannon) were also both beloved veterans of the small screen. The shows might have a lot in common, but they do not have everything in common.
Let's see if you can tell these characters apart!
-
Who drove a Lincoln Continental Mark IV?
-
Who had a phone in his car?
-
Who worked for an agency called Intertect?
-
Who had a boss named Lew Wickersham?
-
Who lived in Los Angeles?
-
Who lived in the historic Art Deco styled apartment building Sunset Tower in West Hollywood?
-
Who was fluent in Armenian?
-
Who had a crossover with Barnaby Jones?
-
Who lost his wife and son in a tragic accident?
-
Who grew up in a town called Summer Grove?
-
Who appeared in an episode of 'Diagnosis: Murder' in 1997?
-
Who returned to television for a made-for-TV movie special in 1980?
-
Who once took a case for a payment of bottles of rare wine?
-
Who had the middle initial "R."?
Can you tell the difference between Cannon and Mannix?

No, stop telling us what to air.
I got 12 out of 14 and I actually missed questions 12 and 14. What a coincidence. 😄
I remember Mad Magazine to the great spoof of Canon
Yay, 14/14! I love both of those shows, never miss them!
13/14. I love those two.
12 out 14....much better than I would've guessed...
You got 13 out of 14
Nicely done! Gimme five!

The difference? Bad guys in cars chased Mannix on foot and he still managed to get away. Think flying (empty) boxes on loading docks etc.
That would have been at minimum unlikely on Cannon, so the bad guys would cut his brake lines, right before he had to drive down a steep winding mountain road. Cue closeup of foot repeatedly futilely pressing brake pedal...

I love to watch cannon. Great actor, great show. I wish it was on at a earlier time, maybe Saturday nights.
Difference? How about Cannon weighed 3 Mannix's.
Never liked Mannix, even though the cars were better. Cannon was one of the few shows that really got around Southern California, rather than just being in Los Angeles the whole time, which was great for scenery but must have upped the production budget considerably.

KRAMER: Hey, Jerry! Come in here a sec! Hey!
JERRY: Oh my God!
KRAMER: It's the Merv Griffin set
JERRY: How did you get this in here?
KRAMER: Oh, you just bring it in sideways and hook it.
JERRY: So where are you gonna sleep?
KRAMER: Yeah ... backstage.
ELAINE: Phew! This chair smells like garbage.
KRAMER: Oh, well a lot of the stars from the 70's - they were not as hygienic as they appeared on TV, yeah, you can take Mannix for example.

William Conrad could move though in spite of what he weighed. He also had a great voice. Seinfeld was the worst show... ever.
No, that would be Friends.
Missed 1. Middle initial??? Come on!
Both great shows in my book. I love to look back at the cars and style back then.

Missed the last one had to guess. They should have a night of shows Like Hawaii 50, Mannix and Canon on prime time
You're right with that, Greg! Re-arrange schedule to have a cop drama night on earlier!!
13 of 14 the middle initial got me
12 out of 14! It should have been 13 but oh well. I love these shows! They are the reason why I go to bed so late! Haha
10 out of 14
Me too.
