	Rockford Files, The
		The Rockford Files is generally regarded (along with Harry O) as one of the finest private eye series of the 1970s, and indeed of all time, consistently ranked at or near the top in polls of viewers, critics, and mystery writers.
		Rockford's propensity for wisecracks, his fractious relationship with the police, and his network of shady underworld connections, lead straight back to Dashiell Hammett by way of Chandler and Rex Stout.
		Jim Rockford could be the Jack Benny of private eyes precisely because he was the first TV private eye--perhaps the first literary one--to be created as a fully credible human being, rather than simply a dogged, alienated purveyor of justice.

		Rockford, above all, wants everything to be resolved peacefully, but it seldom, if ever, came to that of course.
		As gentle as The Rockford Files seems now as we look back on it in these days of “extreme” and “edgy,” it does carefully examine certain moral issues and is fair with them.
		Jim Rockford was more than capable of holding his own in just about any situation, and this ability to adapt serves him, and us, in good stead as we enjoy his exploits.

		The difference between the many incidents at Berkeley and the Rockford incident is that, at Berkeley, it's usually the rabble against an Establishment spokesperson.
		At Rockford, it was just the opposite; the incident had the feel of a government protest against an outsider.
		In any event, the Rockford incident was great publicity for Chris Hedges and his book, and it has created a perhaps necessary discussion on how public speakers should be treated.

	DVD Verdict Review - The Rockford Files: Season One
		When Rockford wasn't on screen coyly smiling at the ladies, scamming potential suspects, or getting punched in the gut, he was undoubtedly caught up in a high speed car chase -- a series staple that allowed Cannell and Co. to milk as much sex appeal from Rockford's Pontiac Firebird as possible.
		When Rockford is hired by who he thinks is the insurance company out to sniff out a case of pearl fraud, he has to out-shuck and out-jive the best of them.
		Most of the early shows on the set are blatantly padded, with lengthy sequences of Rockford parking his car, walking in hallways, or "remembering" the details of the case to facilitate needless framing devices.

		Rockford is sometimes aided (and sometimes deterred) in his cases by friends Dennis Becker (a police detective), Angel (his cowardly former cellmate) and pretty Beth Davenport (his lawyer).
		But ex-convict turned private investigator Jim Rockford (who served time for a crime he didn't commit) was anything but a conventional gumshoe; for one thing, he rarely carried a gun, and resorted to violence only when he'd exhausted his options.
		Rockford and Angel remained friends because of that unspoken bond all ex-cons have, and because deep down, Angel was a stand-up guy, though you couldn't always tell it from looking at the surface.

		When Rockford threw a punch, he was more likely to inflict damage on himself.
