I was a workaholic during the 70's and 80's so I didn't get to see very much TV back then but The Wiseguy was and still is one of my all time favorites. Especially the first two story arcs (Sonny Steelgrave and Mel/Susan Profit). I was also quite fond of Ten Speed and Brownshoe but it died an early death. R.I.P.

I will miss his poker playing cameo's on Castle.

Loved the Rockford Files and was actually just singing the theme song to Greatest American Hero the other day. Those were two shows that we watched as a family when I was growing up. Good times.

RIP Stephen Cannell.

You took the words right out of my mouth. He seemed a bit young to go so soon. This contribution to TV will be missed.
