Rockford Files

Season 1 out on DVD, oh yes. Not great quality, by all accounts (and on double-sided DVDs) but, nevertheless, still one of the best American television shows ever.

You really are a strange, strange little puppy, Smug.

Rockford files is still a good show today. Plot- and character-driven, not flash (pretty seedy, in fact, in a low-level way), relatively well-acted.

one of the shows I used to watch with my dad. great characters. Angel. Rockford's a nosey bastard. I'll still watch it if I notice it's on. You're still weird, smug.

First season on low-quality DVD for only 30 bucks! Can't say fairer than that.

Maybe you win a playstation, yah.

I'm still waiting for Have Gun, Will Travel. It was my favorite when I was a kid.

an old boyfriend of mine was a huge rockford fan. i didn't get it, until he made me watch a few episodes with him. rockford was a great character.

okay crap, now i have the theme song in my head.

duh duh dunnel uh, dunnel unnel uh uh uh...

Yeah, must have been towards the start of Mike Post's surge to world ThemeTune Domination.

Great themetune.

if i can get you james garner's autograph can i have another London Underground mug?

they have faulty ceramic clay...i've had two and they both broke.

That would be a deal.

Although I'd have to wait until I'm in the UK next.

I'll advance you the mug. If I remember, next time I'm in the UK.

shit, i don't know james garner.

You should get one more.

Man, Rockford Files rules. There is nothing as good as this on television nowadays.

old people enjoy things they remember

Well, I didn't really see it first time out (vague recollections of a few episodes, but it wasn't something I got to see often). I saw it in syndication, same as you young'uns could have.

As far as old cop shows has anyone else seen a show called Wiseguy?It isn't as old as The Rockford Files ,but it's pretty old 1987.

Wiseguy was about a agent in deep cover in the mafia,the first season the gangster was played by Ray Sharkey,he did a great job.

It had the feel of Scarface,the characters never became fluffy like a lot of Tv characters.It's my all time favorite tv cop show.

Take a look if you haven't seen it.

Watched the pilot to "Kung Fu" last night. It was actually quite good.
