BoardChiri Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Ava-Grace Willis Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

sadg ewtas The Show was first aired on my birthday. And now, 43 years later it still comes fresh and in no way quirky or odd. That has to mean something.It also is a very pleasant change to the overly hectic and rushing crime shows running nowadays. Which I also like most of the time but still it is a little exhausting and there comes handy the nice and relaxing fifty second drive of Jimmy Rockford just to show off his ride.

MoneyMagnet Although I was sentient between 1974-1980, I never watched this show because I was a kid and it seemed like a "boring grown up show." Now that James Garner has sadly passed on, I decided to check it out and am highly enjoying it. Very little about this show seems dated (except for the clothes and the 1970s lack of TV sex and gore). The dialogue often sparkles and even when the plots are repetitive, you just want to spend an hour hanging out with Jim and his friends every episode.Also, you can tell a high quality show by the caliber of guest actors it attracts. The Rockford Files attracted the cream of the crop of '70s TV, including many actors who would go on to have their own shows and be pretty famous. And of course, Garner is so perfect in this role that you don't even notice the character he's playing is a bit of a loser! (not personality-wise -- but he's got no money, lives in a trailer, has lowlifes for friends and is constantly getting beaten up and arrested... that he managed to attract any women at all is a minor miracle.) I'm sorry it took me so long to check it out. It's awesome.

pkremencik Hi everyone how are you? My name is Teresa and I have a quick question: I watched "The Rockford Files" on AMI,there is a female narrator who is describing their actions and leads to the next scene. I find this hilarious! Never seen a show like this before. Were the original episodes from 1974 this way? Or did they add the female narrator when the show wrapped up and it was later syndicated? What other shows are similar to those of the "Rockford Files?" IMDb is a really great source for movie and TV entertainment information. I find when I post a question on IMDb, someone has some interesting answer. Thanks to those who reply. Have a wonderful day.

winstonfg Probably the 2nd best detective show of the 70s - I'd put it just marginally behind Starsky and Hutch. He was like a down-market Philip Marlowe; a crabby cynic with a heart of gold.Perhaps not surprising, when he was surrounded by the likes of Angel, Rocky and Dennis who were either stiffing him out of his hard-earned cash, telling him what a mess he'd made of his life or just telling him to get lost. It certainly broke the mould of detectives-with-all-the answers shows; and Gretchen Corbett, who played Beth Davenport, his long-suffering friend and attorney, was one of my dream women back then (Funny, but I don't remember seeing her in anything else).I think it maybe went on a season or two too long, but nothing's perfect.
