Re: Will Paramount Release Season 2 Of Cannon On DVD?

For whatever reason, CBS/P remasters some shows they release on DVD, while others simply get transfers made from whatever existing prints are handy. Factors that determine this may include popularity of a show in syndication, costs/budget for the DVD release, condition of the negatives, projected DVD sales and I'm sure many other things.

Star Trek, Mission:Impossible, Hawaii Five-0, Streetsare examples of their shows that have received very nice treatment. Cannon unfortunately was not one of these, for whatever reason. I'm happy to have it on DVD regardless.

Re: Will Paramount Release Season 2 Of Cannon On DVD?

It's funny, because "Cannon" ran as long as SOSF, for five popular seasons. I would've thought putting out older shows, doesn't cost as much as putting out newer ones? Because of, for instance, all the extras people want these days, etc.

Re: Will Paramount Release Season 2 Of Cannon On DVD?

I'm frankly surprised that this show is still getting rolled out while "Barnaby Jones" remains the *only* QM show controlled by CBS/Paramount to not get any kind of DVD release.

That said, it's nice to know that CBS/Paramount hasn't totally slowed down everything.

I agree, it sure would be nice to see Barnaby Jones get some kind of release. I guess we have to wait for all of Cannon to be released first?

Not so suprising if the transfers for Season 2 are as subpar as they were for Season 1. If they're not going to digitally remaster the episodes, it's probably not much a big deal to put it out.

Hopefully Baranaby Jones will get released on DVD. I don't think we will have to wait for all of Cannon to be released before Paramount begins releasing Barnaby Jones. It may happen sooner than we think. Also, there have been some series that have recently been completed such as The Invaders and last year The Odd Couple and The Wild Wild West. Maybe this will open up a slot for Barnaby Jones. Also, I believe Mission Impossible only has 1 more Season to go after the upcoming 6th Season DVD release this spring. Possibly another potential opening for Barnaby Jones!

Take Care!

Yes! I'm glad Cannon S2 is coming out! But I will wait for S2 Vol.2 Everytime I check dvdpricesearch.com thats how I got S1 Vol. 1&2 combo for $42 at buy.com So when both S2 vol. comes out I'll just keep checking at dvdpricesearch and see if some online retailer have Cannon S2 vol. 1&2 combo specials, It be cheaper to buy combos than single vol. most of the time!

Re: Will Paramount Release Season 2 Of Cannon On DVD?

Just a thought (and apologies if it has already been suggested)...

Might Paramount wait until the Barnaby Jones introduction on Cannon to be released on DVD and put out a Season 1 release for cross-promotion? That might be the logic - after all, Paramount releases Cannon and Jake & the Fatman close to one another because of the William Conrad connection. (IMHO, those shows couldn't be more different, aside from the star.)

I've really enjoyed discovering Cannon on DVD, and as a 70s-TV private eye fan, I'd love to see some Barnaby Jones as well.

And let's not forget that he narrates The Fugitive, also Paramount.

And only Conrad's stentorian boom could deliver lines like "but in that darkness, fate moves its huge hand."

I think the front cover artwork for Cannon Season 2 Volume 1 looks good. It appears that the photo of William Conrad may be indeed from the 2nd Season. Good job Paramount! Also, there is a Cannon Group at Yahoo for all fans who wish to join. Go to Yahoo Groups. FRANKCANNONPI
