Shannon
The series
Shannon is an hour-long 9-episode CBS crime drama starring Kevin Dobson. Jack Shannon is a recently widowed detective who moves from New York to San Francisco to live and work, intending to be closer to his wife's parents. In New York, Shannon operated in a single mode—always moving forward. However, he discovers that in San Francisco, the approach is more relaxed; they also take time to pause. He faces considerable resistance from the laid-back San Francisco police officers, who are not impressed by his intensity or his methods. When he requests his coffee to be served "regular," they smirk at him. Additionally, when he is dissatisfied with a crime arrest that he feels is questionable, they merely blink in response.
