The Rockford Files (1974)

The Rockford Files (1974)


Jim Rockford is a private investigator who lives and works out of his trailer in Malibu, Los Angeles. Convicted of a crime he didn't commit, Jim spent five years in San Quentin for armed robbery before getting a pardon. He then went to work as a easygoing private investigator, one who'd rather talk his way out of trouble than fight... and run when the talking doesn't work out. Jim's helped out in his cases (and sometimes hindered) by a number of friends and allies, including his father Rocky, his pal police lieutenant Dennis Becker, his scheming ex-cellmate and conman Evelyn "Angel" Martin, and his soft-hearted defense attorney Beth Davenport.

2x22: A Bad Deal in the Valley recap: Karen Styles, a long ago girlfriend, looks Jim up and they go to a restaurant for a nice dinner. When Jim was in prison he met Karen’s father, Sam Styles, who encouraged Jim to look up his daughter when he got out. He did, and they had a fiery romance that left them both a little singed. She seems recovered but he isn’t. And he’s a little unclear why she contacted him. She comes on strong, saying she even looked in the phone book to see if he was listed as “Mr. and Mrs.” before she came down. She asks to move closer to the fire and continues: she’s in real estate now, well established. She made a quarter million dollars in profits. It’s fun and enjoyable work for her and now that she’s better situated she decided to look Jim up. She offers him one of her two tickets to a tennis match the next day and tells Jim to pick her up around noon. Then she remembers an appointment in Pasadena at 10:30 that will keep her from making it. But she could make it if Jim kept the appointment for her. All he has to do is drop off a case containing escrow papers... read more.

2x21: Foul on the First Play recap: In a dark alley two men have another pinned to the ground. One “massages” the victim’s hand painfully while the other asks questions. They want to know who the man works for. One of them has a habit of laughing; when his laughter collapses into wheezing he pulls an inhaler from his pocket to calm his lungs. At first Mark spins a story but soon enough gives them the truth. He is parole officer Mark O’Brien and one of his parolees is Terry Schider. Unknown men approached Schider, a potential star for a new basketball franchise, and demanded he shave points for them. As a parolee Schider faces serious trouble if he does this. When they find O’Brien ’s identification in his shoe the men are convinced and leave him in a heap on the ground... read more.
