CANNON on DVD


Is anyone willing to copy all CANNON episodes from all five series to DVD. I am willing to pay what ever costs and supply DVDs. Must be reliable. Can deliver and collect.

I can't believe CANNON isn't on VHS or DVD? Someone has to get on the ball. Great series!

The complete series is available on DVD via Yahoo Auctions

yeah everybody and their mother is selling the Cannon series. It's very easy to get at a cheap price.

This is new for me, seeing TV shows on auction that have not been released yet. It's very cool as I believe in the material being made available, I question whether the studios would be happy though. I see it for 115.00 on Yahoo auctions. I used to like watching Cannon as a kid (yeah I know, I'm wierd), but I dont think I need that much Cannon as the episodes didn't really progress his character much, just another crime solved by Cannon every episode. Is it my poor memory or did William Conrad really blimp out as that show got older? I used to love the endings when Cannon would get mean and whip out that 38, don't mess with Cannon, he's a killer!

Well the studios may not be happy with it, but it's their own fault for not making it available to the fans officially as is the case with a lot of these other 70's shows. I haven't watched the series in nearly 20 years so my memory is a little fuzzy about the show but I do remember really enjoying it. I love the crime stuff from the 70's. I'm probably gonna buy the series in about a month

I just found out about the internet auctions thing from this board, so thanks! I bought a few shows that are not released and probably wont ever, who knows? They are episodes taped privately from off the air broadcasts, the quality is no where
near studio released DVD quality but if thats the only way you can get access to the material sometimes its worth it! I have not bought Cannon so I don't want to imply that I have, so I have no idea what quality it is being sold as, I bought some other shows that have not been released. I don't see a major legal issue distributing home recordings of material not being released but I'm not a lawyer and think that one working for a studio would disagree with my thoughts! LOL. If you've got a serious urge for some Cannon you CAN get it (Barnaby Jones also!).

Guys, just all e-mail Paramount requesting it

reply

That never works. everybody is doing that for many different series. Paramount doesn't care. I just bought the whole thing unofficially. All episodes, plus the return movie
