I just found out that Stephen J. Cannell died a couple of days ago from complications from melanoma (skin cancer). A lot of people might not know who Cannell is, but at one time he was one of the most powerful tv executives around. He created two of my favorite tv shows that I watched as a kid:
The Greatest American Hero and
The A-Team. He was the creator of a lot of other shows too, including
The Rockford Files, Hunter, Hardcastle and McCormick, Wiseguy, The Commish, and
Renegade. He was a producer who was very hands on with his projects: he wrote many of the shows he produced, he directed a lot of them, and some of them he even acted in.
