    The Rockford Files

    Watching season one on dvd. Wow, this is the proto-Magnum PI !

    Line from one of the episodes, and this was 1974, "art is a good inflation hedge". Yuk yuk.

    Even a Ferrari racecar in oe of the episodes, and 914s in the scenery. Remember james Garner raced in Sebring in real life

    Help ma they're gunna wash my car

    Garner was a car guy and one hell of a nice guy. Wallace Beery Jr. and Stuart Margolin made that show great entertainment...
