parabellumThe Rockford Files playing on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries channel
Looks like a whole block of episodes from the first season is playing right now. I haven't seen these episodes since they first aired. Love this series.

rtquigGreat Series. Angel Martin (Stewart Margolin) is one of my favorite actors that appear semi-regular. I forgot about how big some of those old cars on the show were.

marksman41If any Rockford fans ever get a chance, the made-for-tv movies in the '80s and 90's were also very good.

murphmanWhat a great show! The answering machine at the opening, the Rockford theme, the Rockford Turnaround in that Pontiac ...
Wow.

AquabirdYeah, watched pretty much all of it. I loved it too. I turned it just long enough to watch the old Perry Mason show for an hour.

NK402The best ones were with Angel and the two with Tom Selleck playing Lance White, as the perfect example of a private eye.
Lance was handsome, drove a Cadillac covertible and always got the girl. A few years ago, I spotted Mr. Selleck at a gunshow.
I tapped him on the shoulder and when he turned, I apologized for accosting him but said that I had always wanted to shake hands with Lance White . He laughed and shook my hand. I thanked him for Lance White and for Jesse Stone. A gracious gentleman .

rekstromI used to watch it regularly. Love Jim Rockford.
A real man's man IMO. Similar to John Wayne in that regard.

I recently saw an old Merv Griffin talk show where he had Tom Selleck on. Merv also had all the regulars on Magnum P.I. on the show as well.
They all commented on the fact that Selleck is still very shy and humble. They mentioned the fact that Selleck gave all his co stars a new Porshe(spelling?) each at the end of season 5.
They are playing two episodes of the Rockford Files everyday on hallmark channel. The ones on now, I just saw on the block that was played on Saturday.

He had a learning disability about answering the door to the trailer. Invariably, it was two guys with guns, who bust in and start roughing him up. Wouldn't you think at some point he would invest in a peephole or at least start saying, "Who is it?"

It only stands to reason that where there's sacrifice, there's someone collecting the sacrificial offerings. Where there's service, there is someone being served. The man who speaks to you of sacrifice is speaking of slaves and masters, and intends to be the master.
