Stephen J. The Rockford Files mostly predates the era of season arcs, except for occasional two-part stories, so there are various methods for choosing where to start watching, if you missed it originally. His crucial friendship with Sgt. Dennis Becker brings Jim regularly into his least favorite setting, the police station house, where he is tolerated at best, and sometimes briefly arrested.

Many shows have been influenced by The Rockford Files or have sought to strike its balance of elements—but you need the writing and you need James Garner. It has some of the wit and offbeat spirit, especially the splendid character writing, with a grumbling assortment of old bar types and marvelous racing touts. Jack is a compelling stubbled presence with rich side hobbies, and something about a scene when he gets beat up and then peed on by gunless Aussie thugs seemed particularly evocative of The Rockford Files.
But Jack does have his morose drinking bouts, another investigator with demons. His troubled late father, it seems, was no Rocky. So he beats on, casting into the surf until the next stranger pulls up, pauses a skeptical beat before his trailer door, and knocks with a new case.
There are definite worsts, but far too many great episodes to select a simple best list. So I have a sampler of some favorites as well as a strongest season Season 3. Also, since s L. Mariette Hartley, who was already selling Polaroid cameras in a series of charming TV ads with Garner, guests as his court-appointed creditor who becomes gradually interested in the intrigue off the books.
James Garner. Unsuccessful as both a squealer and small-time con man, each week Angel could overplay his hand in a different scheme that collapses. Garner himself later confessed he had no idea why the two characters were still friends, but it amused the rest of us.
It hit the news this past winter that some websites were advertising murders for hire but keeping the Bitcoin without following through on the killing part.
