The Dean Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 Canell was the master of the soft 1970's style drama. He did a show for UPN while I was with the network called Marker, staring Richard Grieco. Yes, it was as bad as you would expect for a show starring Richard Grieco. Mostly it was out of place in the 90's as it seemed kind of out of date. But I have to admit, the Rockford Files was a very cool show. RIP, Mr. Canell.
