The main character of Shannon is his 1961 Buick, which is specially equipped with every high-tech gadget from that period. Shannon has no attractive secretary like other private eyes at the time because in his car sits a dictating machine where he recites his reports for Cochran. Shannon is the original multi-tasker. Press a button and a movie camera pops up or a hidden gun appears. The show is based in Los Angeles and offers up some vintage street scenes of early-'60's L.A. "Shannon" was produced by Screen Gems/Columbia Pictures and the show was syndicated, which was unusual at the time. Smaller production companies syndicated shows for local stations, not major studios. See less
