That's sad. A lot of those shows played such a huge part in my childhood, from watching the shows to re-enacting them in the playground.

Good article, thanks for posting. Cannell was certainly talented.

In the article they mentioned the humor of, for example, The Rockford Files...and it's so true, it was fantastic. My favorite line of Garner's usually came near the end of the show...he'd tell the bad guy, "I lie a lot.". Priceless.
