MGM - Theme from the TV series (1974-1980), starring James Garner.

This takes me back to being a 10-year-old kid sitting in the living room watching the show with my dad. My dad was such a huge fan of the show and oddly enough now, he and I have a similar to relationship that Jim Rockford had with his father in the show. Sometimes, a simple TV program can be the thing that brings a family together as it did with me in my pop.

I wish I had like that- my son just treats me like a stranger for what reason I don't know have always been there for him.

I was born in 1981. Rockford Files ended in 1980. By the time i was old enough and wise enough to follow the adventures of he who keeps his gun in the cookie jar, there were five and a half seasons' worth of episodes for me to devour! ...by the time i finished my first run through the Files, though, it had set in that the show itself broke Jim Garner and we'd never have Rockford Files again.

I was a teenager in the Midwest when this show came out in the mid '70s. It was one of the few TV shows I actually watched in those days and can still stand to sit through in reruns, especially the early episodes. Jim Rockford was cool but he wasn't a superman. He won some, he lost some, but that's what made him seem more real and identifiable than most TV characters. I wanted to be Jim Rockford when I grew up. That didn't happen, but I did end up living in SoCal, and that'll have to be close enough.
