      Just watching Rockford for the first time, I grew up in a little town in Canada in the seventies and we didn't get the big three American networks and thus no Rockford. I just got the first four seasons on DVD for Christmas. I am halfway through season two and it just occurred to me that none of the women have breast implants. Awesome. They let their faces do all the talking. And you're right about the tattoos, piercings and botox. I watch an episode every morning with my coffee and toast. An awesome show, great humor, good writing, exciting car chases. My son and I work together in a kitchen so I love Jim's relationship with Rocky. It starts my day off on a good note. Jim always gets his man, and more than his share of beautiful women ha ha. James Garner is awesome. My new hero. 🇨🇦

      @ Manitoba, a couple of hundred miles north of Winnipeg. We only got three channels, with a big antenna on the roof, one channel was CBC ha ha. I never saw Saturday Night Live till I moved to Winnipeg in 1983. Crazy eh? That first year in Winnipeg I saw over 200 movies in the theatre. $2 Tuesdays at the main theatres, $3 Triple bills at the second run theatre near my house, they played all the classics from Hitchcock, Kubrick etc. That was my film school haha,

      Way different than my experience. I grew up in Toronto, so we had all of the Toronto/Barrie/Peterborough stations as well as 4 stations in Buffalo. We saw everything as soon as the Americans did.
      Good thing that RUclips lets you catch up on all that programming.

    I am 58. This GenXer was really raised on neglect and hosewater. I was neglected, raped multiple times, held back in school due to learning disabilities(while no help was offered) and even drugged and left for dead.
    "Rockford Files" was in a way my babysitter in the 1970s. The show truly helped me stay on course while I was being assaulted from so many angles.
    I always wanted to write Mr Garner and thank him but I just never did.
    To any one related/associated to Mr Garner and/or the production of the "Rockford Files", thank you for actually helping to save my life.

    Way back in 1999 I was in Scotland staying at a hostel. There was a larger room for socializing with a pool table and a TV. I was playing pool with a gal from Australia and I hear The Rockford Files theme song on the TV. I was having the time of my life and one of my favorite TV shows comes on. It was kind of surreal to see a TV show I could watch at home in Los Angeles playing in the middle of Scotland. I could hear Jim Rockford solving a case as this girl from Australia beats me at pool. Good times.
