SOUNDTRACKSOUNDTRACK

Series about an ex-convict-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 rather on the cautious side, that's all. And he bears a very strong resemblance to Western television hero Bret Maverick. Rockford is sometimes assisted (and sometimes deterred) in his cases by friends Dennis Becker (a police detective), Evelyn "Angel" Martin (his cowardly former cellmate) and pretty Beth Davenport (his lawyer).

Review for S1 Ep6 - Tall Woman in Red Wagon11 April 2018

Jim is hired by a reporter to locate her missing best friend. Shouldn't be too difficult as she is a tall, "stunningly beautiful" lady driving a bright red station wagon. He trails her to a town where he is informed that she died of heart failure. An empty coffin proves this to be a lie, and... more

Review for S1 Ep4 - The Dark & Bloody Ground11 April 2018

First appearance of Beth Davenport (Gretchen Corbett) who talks Jim into investigating the death of a screenwriter because she thinks his wife is being framed for murder.

Review for S1 Ep1&2 The Backlash of the Hunter10 April 2018

The series kicks off with a bang as Lindsay (the Bionic Woman) Wagner hires Jim to look into the death of her father. A two-part episode that includes some of Rockford's "tricks of the trade" and running from bullets shot from an airplane out in the desert. Not exactly North By Northwest fare,... more
