200 Dollars a Day Plus Expenses - A Rockford Files Podcast

Man that was a long trip for not much payoff, title wise.Jim finally snaps at Angel this week, as you can see in the accompanying pic.Russians.East Germans.Wait so it is the 70s, of course.Funny to think I was staying up late to watch Voyager on TV and it's still going!Chapman is annoyed this week. So it's a week...We get an LJ mention, which is like a Dale sighting on Mad Men.mp3 download

I wonder if it is still under warranty...Bo Hopkins's final appearance as Coop.'You wanna eat some iron?'The rise and fall of bider culture in California was a thing at the tie.Some fun evil performances this week.Oh yeah, we get a Steve's Spotlight!Disturbing one this week, perhaps the darkest episode of the series.Come out and play Warriorsmp3 download

This one definitely goes in my 'worst title ever' pile.This episode was originally a 90 minute one that was cut down to an hour for syndication. We will talk about the 90 minute version. Hopefully we get through it in a reasonable amount of time. (I clearly write these things before we start).David Chase did this one, and it seems that every episode he runs gets closer and closer to the Sopranos....

Long trip for the title this week.Both Jon and I have been in the Rockford Fires this week. Thank you.Sorry about the Cylon voice, I'll have it sorted by next week, hopefully..... Here's an update, just after getting off of the call I fixed it. Here's a podcasting tip, don't update your interface's firmware and control software just before recording.When I see the name 'Mills Watson' in the...

Long trip for this week's title, not much of a payoff either.A couple of MASH connections this week.A heck of a lot happens in a short period of time in this episode.We get out 39th '200 Dollars a day plus expenses' in this one.The fact that the stuff Val designs is supposed to be the height of hip (and it was!) shows you how truly odd tastes got into the late 70s.I like the background on Jim,...

You gotta be a fan of the podcast to get that title.We've got the FBI.We've got the ATF.We've got the LAPD.We've got USCG.Sadly no BB King, BBC or Doris Day.We've got the DIA, wait, not the CIA? Well whatever, but we've got an alphabet soup of agencies this week.Classic bungling federal agencies in a 70s show, a clear sign of the times.The selling bad weapons thing, that happened, more than once....

Jon often calls me a fashion faux pas. I have no idea whey, but it fits with the episode. It's probably also true, but that's neither here nor there.Rene Auberjonios! WK Stratton!Erin Grey!Directed by Ivan Dixon!I've used too many exclamation points in this post!Yeah a pretty good set of 70s guest stars.Making fun of fashion is fun, especially in 1979.I almost always use a picture of Jimbo, but...

I'm happy with this week's title, in case you were wondering.Lots of Sopranos refugees this week.Coop is always welcome, I like Bo Hopkins.Jim's working under cover for the National Investigator which is clearly standing in for the National Enquirer.A couple of nice pulls by Jim this week, one to The Day The Earth Stood Sill and one sort of meta one to Garner's character in The Great Escape.Augie...

Tried something a little different with the title this week.Boxing!Mary Frann!All boxing trainers look like Kenneth McMillan.Hey, I should also mention that's Rocky Echeverria, you may know him as the way more white boy name, Steve Bauer. It's his life, and his name, but Rocky is just a better name, change it back!We've got cons inside of cons this week.A big news story this week was Vietnamese...

Had to stick with the theme for the title.We get a lot about multiple personality disorder (or dissociative identity disorder as it is now called). The three faces of Eve and Sybil were FICTION.Unlike most two parters, or ones that were double episodes, there is no padding in this one.Kathryn Harrald, the actor for Megan, eventually did become a therapist! I wonder if this episode had anything to...
