Rockford Files makes so much of today's TV fare pale in comparison!

Rest in peace Joe.

Rockford Files
One of my all-time favorite shows. As you noted, they haven't come close to making shows this good in a very long time.

Excellent chemistry with James Garner on the Rockford Files.

84’s a long life. He looked like he was ready to lock up back in the 70s, especially when hollering at Rockford.

Ok he is the 3rd. Frank Sinatra Jr., Larry Drake and now Joe Santos.

RIP Mr. Santos

“Rockford Files makes so much of today’s TV fare pale in comparison!”

So true. This was a stand up guy, too, like all the players in the cast. Jim Garner was a great guy as well as a good leader and actor.

Excellent show. I’m pretty sure we saw every episode; several more than once!

RIP Joe.

A great character actor.

He's another one of those "That guy who was in that thing" actors. A great career.

Rockford Files comes on MeTV every weekday.

My area also gets Antenna TV.

It is thoroughly depressing how much better television was 30 and 40 years ago as compared to the shows on today.

This “age” thing puzzles me. Today, I looked up the
website of an alternative doctor that I thought was the
same age as me. He had passed away at 90 yrs. old. Well,
that’s a pretty good run & maybe I’ll feel better listening
to his stuff now.

Great shows like The Rockford Files actually had you looking forward to next week's episode!

Unlike the brainless formulated dreck force-fed to American viewers by today's TV networks...
