Rating: - Rockford Files Forever
Of all the Cop shows of the Seventies The Rockford files holds up as one of best. Every episode in Season 4 is in my opinion is excellent. If you are a fan of cop shows of this era I would recommend The Rockford File Highly.
Rating:  - Tracing Sopranos Roots
I don't want to rain on anyone's parade by giving the series only 3 stars. I can see why people like it so much. My interest was to see early work of David Chase, creator of the immortal series The Sopranos. Chase produced and wrote several of the Season 4 episodes. Who knew such genius lurked behind this hokey series.
My favorite episode is the one involving the hippie chick who follows various New Age gurus. At one point Rockford delivers a stirring lecture about having your own thoughts instead of blindly following opinion makers. It's certainly relevant for today.
My enjoyment was hindered by annoyances. Annoying characters: the dad and Angel. I cringed at the mere sight of Angel. He's just not funny, although I can see why people would think he's hilarious. In matters of taste there is no dispute.
The cloying, irritating, grandiose musical score.
The ridiculous concept. Rockford lives in a dilapidated trailer that is about to fall apart. The outside is filthy. The paint has worn away. Yet, he is allowed to park the trailer in the lot of a trendy beachfront bar & grill in a neighborhood that's described as upscale. No patrons or neighbors complained?
The trailer is the source of all sorts of nuisance activity (hoodlums stalking Rockford, shootouts and so on). In one episode a guy jumps off the roof of the trailer, drawing paramedics, cops, and ambulance chasers. And yet Rockford's still welcome.

Love them, watched them as a kid on tv. Coffee was 10 cents a cup in one episode and Jim asked for 3 dollars in gas at the gas station in another. Those were the days !!
Rating: - Rockford Still Great
I still enjoy this series after all these years. What makes it better is my cousin Terry Leonard has a couple of uncredited roles and did some stunt work for this series.
Rating:  - Last Season With Beth Davenport!
This 1977-78 Season was a wonderful season of The Rockford Files along with the fact that the 4th Season of Rockford was probably the 2nd best season of The Rockford Files as well, since it was the last season with Rockford's foxy attorney girlfriend Beth Davenport(Gretchen Corbett)who made the episodes of The Rockford Files more interesting, but it's too bad that Beth had to depart from The Rockford Files in the second half of Rockford's Fourth Season leaving no Beth in the last 2 seasons, which made it less interesting and less dramatic since Rockford(James Garner) didn't have Beth defending him anymore whenever he got arrested and/or bailed out in the Fifth and Sixth Season along with the fact that the last 2 seasons didn't have that chemisty kind of client/attorney relationship along with Becker's fondness and support towards Beth as well along with the fact that Beth always seemed to have a way of making people pay more attention and listen to whenever Rockford was in trouble or arrested, even Becker's superior fellow officers Lt. Chapman(James Luisi) and Lt. Diehl(Tom Atkins), which obviously despised Rockford very much, but Beth still seemed to have a way to make Lt. Chapman and Lt. Diehl listen, even when they didn't agree with Rockford almost as if Beth's opinion and statement was more important than Chapman and/or Diehl's opinion.
Unfortunately, when Beth departed the show, especially in the Fifth Season, Becker's hard nosed superior fellow officer(Lt. Chapman) didn't seem to ... Read More
