The Rockford Files is used to being on top—a lot more than its main character. The series has a long stay on Top 100, Top 50, and even Top 10 greatest show lists, and the reasons usually point to critical writing and a strong cast with great chemistry. But the core of what made The Rockford Filesso beloved was the refreshing break from genre conven...
The Rockford Filesintro showed Jim not answering the phone before it was cool, and it created one of the most quoted answering machines ever. There were 122 unique answering machine messages across six seasons! It’s understandable, then, that sometimes the creativity well dried up.

James Garner was no stranger to action and dangerous fights. He insisted on doing his own stunts, especiallyfistfights and car chases. That’s great dedication, but it came at a cost. His knees were pummeled over and over, and Garner suffered from ulcers. That’s not even mentioning the back pain. It could be crippling, and he kept taking a beating a...

It also hosted MANY big names in the industry, like Bill Mumy of Lost in Space fame, Abe Vigoda from Barney Miller, the Bionic Woman herself Lindsay Wagner, and even Tom Sel...
By the time Garner was done withThe Rockford Files—the first round, anyway—he was nominated for an Emmy five straight years, winning in 1977. But that didn’t mean everything was rosy when the cameras stopped. Like any great series, Rockford Files went into syndication, giving it even more exposure, and of course, more profit potential. Universal ha...
When the dust settled from those contract disputes, actor and studio agreed to create eight TV movies, this time on CBS. For the most part, it was the cast reunion we always hoped for, except sadly Beery died in ‘94. So, the first in the series has a nice dedication to his memory saying, quote: “We love you and miss you, Pidge,” referencing his nic...
