CANNON (CBS). This is another slice of Dashiell Ham, with William Conrad featured as a high-priced private investigator. The first episode, involving armed robbery of a rodeo box office, was unconvincing and, in the end, embarrassingly sentimental. Conrad himself, who resembles a cross between Orson Welles and Walter Cronkite, is a screen-crowding presence with a pomegranate voice enriched by eleven years as radio's Matt Dillon...
...personable, hairy chap wearing an embroidered work shirt and bellbottoms, who sings nicely and plays a good guitar. Last week's première segment dealt with the words bull and fly. The visuals ran rapidly through the various kinds of "bull"-bullfrog, bully, Bull Moose Party, rodeo bull, bulldogs. "That is a lot of bull," Chapin remarked inevitably.

The movie is best when dealing with Knievel's early exploits: harassing the small-town Montana cops, riding into a dormitory full of giggling co-eds in pursuit of his girl friend, and stunt driving in a rundown local rodeo. Soon Knievel (played improbably but ingratiatingly by George Hamilton) begins to build quite a reputation for himself, and even becomes a sort of folk hero. Crowds turn out from all over the state-and, it is eventually implied, from all over the country -to watch his harebrained heroics. The film ends...
