Recent intermittent bouts of insomnia have taught me that
@MeTV has a great lineup from 2-5 AM that goes: Mannix Cannon Barnaby Jones All 3 have awesome theme music. As for the shows themselves, I'm not big on Barnaby Jones (it's better than I remember), but love the others.1 reply 0 retweets 3 likes -

Awesome... I'll have to look up Cannon on YouTube, because I don't remember that one at all.

Sadly, neither Mannix nor Cannon appear to be on any of the streaming services that I can find. (I'm a sucker for 1970s detective shows.)

It may not be, but it sounds kinda like a Lalo Schifrin arrangement, like Mannix.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

Also love the narrator's voice saying "Cannon". Plus "A Quinn Martin Production"... don't know who he is, but it reminds me of my childhood. : )

Both Cannon and Barnaby Jones were Quinn Martin productions. Quinn Martin productions always followed a very similar format, structured in four acts with an epilogue, each with the act listed after the commercial break.

Quinn Martin productions also had very similar credits, consisting the theme music, with an announcement of the stars, then the guest stars, and then the title of the episode.
