Storyline
Featured review
"You'll Get Yours, Fatso!"
There are several things about this episode that are part of the legacy of "Cannon".
The episode starts out with the most prominent. Whenever an episode of "Cannon" needed music that vaguely sounded like the rock and roll of the time, terrible music featuring a saxophone was played. This music was used in multiple episodes, and never gets better. It sounds vaguely like something that the old Saturday Night Live band would have played into a commercial.
Second, there are multiple jokes about Cannon's weight. One wonders how this show would go over in modern times when "body positivity" has somehow superseded concerns about diabetes and heart disease.
Lastly, Cannon's incredible ability, despite his physical limitations, to narrowly escape a threat to his life. I'll leave it there, and let the viewer see what I mean.
I give this episode nine stars not because it's riveting television, but because there is a scene about 15 minutes in where Cannon falls down a flight of steps. I showed this to a friend of mine, and I have never heard him laugh so hard in his entire life. Just that one scene makes this episode worth the price of admission.
