200 Dollars a Day Plus Expenses - A Rockford Files Podcast

Tough title this week.Some 'problematic' as the kids say, portrayals of 'unnamed scary Arab culture' in this one. I suppose that's a sign of the times, but it was a bit weird. This is an occupational hazard of looking at 50 year old media. There's also a lot of BS psychobabble (that is, to be fair, portrayed that way) in this one. I approve.This has nothing to do with the episode, but, will...

Again, some of my 'clever' titles are better than others.Special thanks to friend of the show Chris Cooling who went down a rabbit hole with Steve.Oh man, so much meta commentary on 70s detective shows. Oh, also, join the 70s detectives Facebook group, it's fun!I love Hector Elizondo in everything he is in. And that is a lot of stuff, everything from the West Wing to Rockford, hell, he was in a...

We're Canadian, we don't kill people... (unless they really need it).Another fun one this week.Jon is a little sick.Hey Dennis becomes a lieutenant!I like the deputy chief character.The Captain Crunch thing was real, and then the show didn't run with it, I wonder what happened there?Steve and I have had oral exams, they can be, fascinating.Wait, a car chase without the firebird?As God is my...

Easier bad title this week.Oh man, a Lance White episode.I sort of wish Lance was spun off rather than Magnum, but I dunno about the character driving a whole series.Sellick is great in this one.Of course so is Jimbo.I think we can call Pope JP 1 a friend of the show.There are a lot of clocks in this episode.Not PIRATED CASETTES!We have to handle this ourselves....Lance White, walking LinkedIn...

Toughest title to come up with in a long time.David Chase doing Soprano things.Indeed, I wonder if these guys know Carmella and Tony.It's always good when horrible people do bad things and then you get to watch their fall.They are hilariously stupid (just like a crime family David Chase invented years later...)There's eventual talk of a spinoff!Plus, you get Jacques Renault from Twin Peaks being...

I didn't want to use dead here, just so as not to scare my Mom...ABE VIGODA.ROBERT LOGGIA.RITA MORENO!Hell of a cast this week.Also, the title is a pretty nice joke.Hey, in one scene Steve and my expertise could both be brought to bear.Herb Tarlek?Dennis gets a lovely necklace as does Rocky.mp3 download

Tough title for the opener of season 5.Wait, 100 episodes?Ahh the rise of country music in the late 70s.Willie Nelson started to get some mainstream radio play, as did quite a few other country artists at this time. It was disco and country for a time.Obvious Jimmy Dean parody is obvious.Rocky trucking!No Angel, no Dennis...Some solid hijinks this week as well.A couple of genuinely funny moments...

Oh and Katie Sackhoff is there rather than Dirk Benedict.Yup, there is a pilot order for a reboot of our show.By our show I don't mean the podcast, though Jon has kind of weaseled his way in...We discuss our thoughts on the reboot.Is it a good idea?Should it happen?Will it happen?Who are some actors who could play Jimbo, Angel, Rocky, Beth etc?Oh, Happy New Year, and back to the regular next...

It's between seasons.It's the Christmas season.We're doing a Christmas show, if you don't like it, well, first off, bah humbug, secondly, what did you pay for the podcast?Steve, Jon and I welcome some guests this episode:Those guests are, in no particular order: Anthony Marco from Best Episode Ever.Jeff Andrews from the 70s TV Detectives.Chris Cooling from the Forgotten TV podcast.Chris now joins...

It's between seasons 4 and 5 of Rockford.It's between seasons 1 and 2 of Baa Baa Black Sheep.That means it's 1978!We decided to invite a couple of our friends on to tap about 1978 in tv, including Best Episode Ever's Anthony Marco and the 70s Detectives' Jeff Andrews.Boy NBC sucked then.Lots of stuff sucked then.Jon reminds us that WKRP did start then!Habs won the cup, so there's that.Mostly we...
