I loved Rockford files as a kid and watched it again as an adult many times.
Can you imagine what the old late great Hollywood actors who saw the country through world war two would think of their "contemporaries" today? People like Bob Hope, Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra, etc... They must be spinning in their graves.
James Garner also was a highly capable driver, did his own stunt driving in the show and owned a race team in the late 1960's. My favorite film of his is Duel at Diablo. If you haven't seen it you're in for one of the best westerns ever made.
Really awesome to re-watch a lot of the shows from the 70's and see names and faces of people who would go on to bigger things. Caught Nick Nolte playing a doctor in a bit role on emergency a few months back.
I have them all in my video collection, James Garner has to be one of the best actors ever.
He also had a respectable military carrier
Same here! Oh Jim where are you now. How far we’ve fallen...
:-(
I also have most of his films, he really was one of the best actors of his day, and extremely versatile.
Damn - I watched a lot of Rockford files back in the day -That was a good one -
Do yourself a favor, get the boxed set. It really holds up. Very rewatchable too

Ha! My housemates and I used to watch RF in the late afternoon after coming home from class, when I was in college. Good stuff!
Bet Jimmy was cast as the bad guy.
Heroic visage.

Johnny Gage factor intensifies.
