Great TV. A really underrated show, as I hadn't heard much about it until trying it out on Netflix

It's worth the watch just to find the episodes with Isaac Hayes calling Rockford "Rockfish".

Great show. Simon and Simon is also worth the watch.

Rockfish and the Firebird. Good stuff.

Angel and his old man sell it.

it's an old fart show, but everything we had available in the 1970's and 80's came on 4 stations but was still better than Kardashians, Dancing with the Stars or that god-awful Masked Singer.

If you watch an episode from the later years. In one car chase scene Rockford would peel out of the parking lot in a 74 Firebird, hit the interstate in 76 Firebird and then jump out of a 78 Firebird and kick some guys arse.

Is it supposed to be on Netflix? I couldn't find it.

I think it’s on Peacock, the Peacock site says it’s free but I don’t know for sure.

I've actually never watched it. I remember my dad hating it for some reason, and I didn't really think about it again until the mid 90's when Ben Folds mentioned it in a song.

I'm an old fart and I love The Rockford Files. Thank you for finding it and bringing it here.

It's in 4:5 ratio and grainy AF by modern standards but it is still the clearest and best picture it's been seen in probably since it first aired. I'm very excited.

As a kid I vaguely recall it came on after a show I really liked so that opening score was like the end of fun and begin of suck.

If it is on Netflix they will find a way to splice in some pedophile and tranny garbage.
