Last Friday, legendary television producer, writer and novelist Stephen J. Cannell passed away at the age of 69. Although Mr. Cannell had absolutely nothing to do with the Dukes of Hazzard television series, many Dukes fans who watched the Dukes during its original run also watched several of his shows, such as The A-Team, The Greatest American Hero, The Rockford Files, Hardcastle and McCormack, Stingray, Renegade and many others. Stephen Cannell’s shows reached an audience far and wide and spanned through the 70’s, 80’s and into the 90’s.
The HazzardNet staff are fans of many of his shows. His was a creative talent that was not deterred by and did not relent to the odds that were placed against him. He overcame and succeeded. His was a success story that we can all admire and strive for ourselves.
We salute you, Mr. Cannell. You will be greatly missed.
