That's impressive...
“This is Jim Rockford, at the tone leave your name and message. I’ll get back to you.”
Just imagine how many answering machines that sold at the time.
You are kidding me. He was a decent actor, but he was an extrememe liberal (in the modern sense of the word). Not that it isn’t sad when some liberals die, but it is surprising for folks on this site to feel so bad.
Oh, that’s too bad. I still watch the Rockford Files occasionally on Netflix streaming, great show. So dying at 86 means that he was on that show from age 46 to 52. He looked damn good for 50-ish years old.
RIP - One of my favorites.
Right on, I remember Tank. Movie was a little bit silly, but any problems with that movie were not the fault of James Garner, he was great!
But speaking of Garner and other favorites who are liberals (Harrison Ford, Paul Newman) --
I used to like his work, but after hearing him off script could not watch him. He was a very stupid man. Rest in peace.
Yes, he was stupid in some ways, but aren't we all? He was courageous and did "good" with his life, even to being married to the same sweetheart for 58 years. What more should one ask of a guy who at the same time, in his job (acting), delivered so well, so many enjoyable, entertaining moments?
Thanks, God, for the loan James Garner.
James Scott Bumgarner was the best!
The fact he was a life long dem, is easily offset with the knowing that “in his day” dems were equally patriotic, although wrong on politics, and were not the same as the America hating socialist progressive dems who are for America’s destruction today.
Good point.
MAN I just watching Maverick on Cozi TV last night
I used to sing “livin on franks and beans” until I found out it was jacks and queens.
Ditto on the “wow.” Garner and his wife dated only two weeks before marrying for a lifetime.
They both were Democrats, but no one is perfect.
RIP, James Garner.
This web site is always interesting.
Anyway, here is his obit.

Interesting. He fought in the Korean war and was wounded twice and awarded two purple hearts.
Loved Rockford!
Loved Issac Hayes with his ‘Rockfish’!
MrD and I married in 1957 after knowing each other for 2 months, we are still happily married. That’s pretty much the same. I am very proud of our marriage because it is becoming more and more rare.
RIP sir .. you were one of the great ones !
Thanks for posting! Wasn’t he great? The Rockford Gang!
Hey Bender I used to see him at then LA Raider games
They showing Rockford Files on METV in afternoon hours
And Maverick almost every day on Cozi TV
Captured by the Chi-coms and pulled off an amazing escape in real life.
