Used to love the Rockford files as a kid, mainly because I used to watch it with my Dad. Remember Rockford almost always got beat up in every episode. Much like life in general then!

That's coz youre a youngster FB.....you needed to be about 12 or 13 minimum in the 70's to have appreciated the show  You were probably packed off to bed by the time it came on................ smiley-laughing002 |

Lets face it James Garner was just a dude,especially as Jim Rockford,always a laconic come back,always hanging around with hot women,always drove a cool car (I had a Camaro for abit,just cos it looked like Rockfords Pontiac!),with a barmy dad and shady mates it was unmissable- I can still recite his ansa phone msg now!!! Been thinking and I cant come up with a film that he made that wasn't pure genius. A sad loss,and I suppose another reminder that time waits for no man SO GET ON YOUR BIKES AND RIDE LIKE THERE'S NO TOMORROW!
