Product Description:
Series about an ex-con-turned-private-investigator named Jim Rockford who would rather run away than fight and would rather go fishing than work. He isn't a coward and he isn't lazy--just a bit on the cautious side that's all. And he bears a very strong resemblance to Western TV hero Bret Maverick. 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).Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: TELEVISION/SERIES & SEQUELS Rating: NR UPC: 025193281920 Manufacturer No: 61032819

Much like his trusty Pontiac Firebird, The Rockford Files was a particularly well-oiled machine by the third year. Everything was clicking into place, from the writing to the acting (writer/producer David Chase went on to create The Sopranos). Despite a terrific supporting cast, James Garner was always the main draw, and he received an Emmy for the series during year three (1976-1977). Considering that the show was carefully pitched between drama and comedy, it was well deserved as Garner excelled at both. Notable episodes include "Feeding Frenzy," in which Rockford returns stolen loot for a client; "Drought at Indian Head River," in which informant Angel (Stuart Margolin) reinvents himself as a real estate developer; and "Rattler's Class of '63," in which Angel ties the knot. Among the guest stars are such hip cats as Blazing Saddles's Cleavon Little ("Sticks and Stones May Break Your Bones...") and Cool Hand Luke's Strother Martin ("The Trees, the Bees, and T.T. Flowers"). Ned Beatty also drops by as a buddy from Korea ("Return to the 38th Parallel"), while R&B legend Isaac Hayes returns as prison pal Gandy Fitch ("Just Another Polish Wedding").
As usual, there are plenty of good lines, like Robert Loggia's "I expect him to tell me the truth. If he doesn't, he's gonna end up in the flower business--as a soil additive" ("Drought at Indian Head River") and Garner's "Stop batting your eyes like that or you're gonna get a muscle spasm" ("Return to the 38th Parallel"). The best part about season three is simply that it adds depth to Rockford's relationships with the four people most important to him: Angel, dad Rocky (Noah Beery Jr.), detective Becker (Joe Santos), and attorney Beth (Gretchen Corbett). The only extra feature is "Quickie Nirvana," an episode from the fourth season. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

This is the first Rockford Files Season that I have, which is on NTSC format. I own Seasons One and Two on PAL format. This DVD's video is more refine and best of all, it comes with subtitles.

The year was 1974 and Rockford hit the small screen on NBC at 9pm on Fridays. From day one I was hooked. I never ever missed an episode. I also often watched the reruns on the "midnight double feature" on ABC.I have a great love for the program. I met James Garner at an airport in New York in 1990. I was working the security check point and he just walked through like it was no big deal. I was speechless. I spent my whole dinner break talking with him. People were looking at him, recognizing him, ... Read More

Season three of The Rockford Files continues the same high standard of the previous two seasons. There are a total of 22 episodes plus an episode from season four that's the bonus material. Jim Rockford is on the prowl, doing cases. And like before, sometimes he gets paid, sometimes he doesn't &, occasionally, he does a case for nothing. Stuart Margolin as Angel is more prominent as is Gretchen Corbett as Beth Davenport. The romantic angle between Rockford & Davenport is completely gone though you ... Read More
