About The Rockford Files
James Garner plays Los Angeles private investigator Jim Rockford across 6 seasons on NBC, from September 1974 to January 1980. Eight reunion TV films followed on CBS between 1994 and 1999 with most of the original cast back.
Good to know
Start with Backlash of the Hunter, the 1974 pilot film, since it introduces Rockford, Rocky and Angel. Noah Beery Jr. died in November 1994, so Rocky is absent from the reunion films.
