200 Dollars a Day Plus Expenses - A Rockford Files Podcast

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...

Oooh, we're going off the board for 50 Jack.After season 4 of the Rockford Files wrapped, Richie Brockelman, Private Eye, premiered. It lasted only 5 episodes sadly.Many people believe that Richie was introduced in 'The House on Willis Avenue' but that's not true! Indeed, on October 27, 1976, NBC aired the made for TV movie pilot 'Richie Brockelman: The Missing 24 Hours' and we are here to bring...

Time for one of our season wrap-up episodes.This of course makes sense as we just finished season 4.Hey, I buried the lede, it's Jeff from the 70s TV Detectives!Some people don't like Richie Brockelman, I don't understand these people.What episodes were the best?Which ones weren't?Where does Rockford fit in in the 70s detective pantheon? We ask Jeff.How did the show mirror the 70s?mp3 download

These titles are getting odder. That said, I like this one.Oh man, part 2 moves quickly.'Hi Vern, getting any?'Steve informs me that is the sam dispatcher as in Adam 12!I still chuckle at Trapper John playing BJ.The thing of it is is, that's a wilco.'Do you have a 38 automatic?'We saw the actor who played Sgt. Coopersmith like two episodes ago!The title card at the end, wow.Don't point.This...

There are four 'that's a wilco's' in this episode. When I say 'episode' I'm talking about roughly the first half of 'The House On Willis Aveenue', which might be my favourite episode, other than Boy King, the other Richie Brockelman episode.RICHIE!Some people don't like Richie. I don't understand these people.That's a wilco.The thing of it is is.I love how Richie sees Jim as a hero, but he's not...

Oddly proud of this title.Ooh, ooh, Rockford goes to College!Steve and I were not profs in the 70s, but we know more about universities than most people...Lady, telling your dead boyfriend's mom 'at least he found love' is not the flex you think it is.Some general late 70s anti Arab paranoia played for laughs in this one. That said, the laughs are eventually at the expense of the bozo security...
