Where To Watch
Are these images from Cannon or another detective series?
Detective shows might have different names, but they look pretty similar.
American detective television shows were in high demand in the 1970s. One series that lived successfully in this genre was Cannon, as the show was on for five seasons and debuted in 1971. Sometimes it can be hard to identify a series based on images when others in the same genre have the same look.

got 7/10
The last question could have been from any show. You wouldn't even know it was any detective show. This was METV's hardest quiz for any show I have seen many, if not all episodes.
Very hard quiz, only 50%. I have seen every episode of Cannon and almost every Barnaby. Usually a show I have seen many episodes gets me a high score. I don't know why this one was so hard.
9 OF 0 CARS GAVE MOST OF THEM AWAY
Grew up watching Cannon and Barnaby Jones (I was ten when Cannon premiered). As far as my score goes....I don't care to discuss it, thank you...
I agree. I have seen every Cannon and most Barnaby Jones. This quiz is METV's hardest for any show I have seen many, if not all episodes.
8/10
6/10. Guesses all.
10/10 Love Cannon!
10 out of 10. The Lincoln Continental that Cannon drove is in one pic, Conrad with his back turned to the camera in another, and I recognized the first one as being from the episode "Blood Lines" (the second to last episode aired) with guest star Robert Drivas and another one as being from the very fourth episode "Country Blues", with a pic of guest star Clu Gulager. Additionally, a couple of pics had a byline saying that they were from NBC Universal Distribution. Cannon is owned by CBS! That helped me out with those questions.
I didn't know about NBC Universal. That would have helped me. I know some older shows aren't carried by their original network.
7 / 10. Thanks for the giant black Lincoln in Q4.
In #3, I assume that's Mark Shera on the porch...but damn, he resembles James Garner! (At leazt to the point where I got it wrong.)
7/10. Not bad. Love "Cannon". William Conrad was great. Loved him on the old radio shows as Marshall Dillon!! Much grittier and rougher than the TV version.
Here's the moment of truth. You got 10 out of 10
I LOVED those 70's cop/detective/private eye series. Cannon, Columbo, Kojak, Mannix, etc. were the best!

7/10. All guesses.
8/10! and they gave away 2 of the answers with the NBC/Universal credit! Cannon is QM/CBS!
Looks like it might be an image credit, similar to when they credit Getty Images in some of the pics they post in S & Q's?
I got 5/10. I got #1, 2, 7, 8, and 10 wrong. I never watched the show. I wish MeTv would put Cannon, Barney Jones, and any other shows that are on in the late evening in the afternoon on the weekdays instead of the westerns. The westerns are getting old. I am sorry, I know a lot of people like the westerns in the afternoon.
After Mannix I always stick around to see who Cannon's Guest Stars will be. And they are NEVER the same as Mannix, at least within the same Season. Quinn Martin seemed to have his own way with lining up Talent for his Productions.
You'll also see many of the same guest stars appearing in multiple QM produced shows, such as "The Untouchables", "The Fugitive", "The Invaders", "Cannon" and "Barnaby Jones". He had his favorites, just as Jack Webb did.
Well said!
How come Streets of San Francisco doesn't get mentioned much around here?

I confess, I forgot that was a Quinn Martin production.
METV is not showing "Streets of San Francisco" currently, but I think METV+ has it now.
7/10 Another quiz of complete guessing.
7/10 - lots of guessing lol 😆

"And just who might this 'Barnaby Jones' person be, Archie?"
He's s private investigator in Los Angeles. I do believe you'd like him, Mr. Wolfe.
I also remember Thayer David in the ABC soap "Dark Shadows" and I think as a CIA operative in the "Eiger Sanction". Good actor.
I saw every episode of the version with William Conrad--only complaint I had with it was the casting of George Wyner as Saul Panzwr (he was a bit too tall and a bit too bald...sorry, George). Only saw a couple of the A&E shows and my only problem there was nobody told Timothy Hutton that Archie was from Ohio and shouldn't sound like a native New Yorker. (And one of them should have switched the actors playing Sgt. Purley Stebbins and Lt. Riwcliffe into each other's roles, but I can't remember which one.)
I liked the production. The sets were great as were the costumes. I think Timothy Hutton was the producer so he probably thought Archie should sound New Yorky.
