Episode 60 - The Trouble With Steve and Dave

Which is way better than the Trouble With Tracy.

This one plays with stereotypes of geeks.  Warren is a chess and flute geek, and while that doesn't seem like the kind of thing I'd be into, it's no better than being into the LA Rams or fishing.

This one came out on Christmas Eve 1976, so we have something a little special to play at the end.

Some pretty great work by James Luisi as Chapman in this episode.  Especially when he runs into 'Jim Taggart'.

That said, Jimbo's improvisation skills are on full display.

Look, I'll say it, a convoluted plot in this one.  I don't care, I still loved it!

Episode 59 - Dave and Steve Do a Little Piece Work

Yes yes, lame title.

This one just drips 1970s.

Hey, Michael Lerner again!  He's always great.  He plays straight up weasels so well.  Also, the whole thing about the clothes and how he dresses well is funny.  I mean look, in 1976 that was pretty fashionable I suppose.  (What I'm saying here is I have pictures of my parents in this era, and this is not far off).

Jim goes to the gym.

We've got Lt. Chapman, so it's a good one even with the flaws.

Flaws?  Too much padding, and sometimes the story is a bit convoluted.

Dennis got a promotion!

Still, it's Rockford, and it's got a Michael Lerner guest appearance, we're good.

Episode 58 - Steve and Dave Return to the 38th Parallel

Easy title this week.

Hey, another Korean War reference.  Garner deserved those, could make as many as he wanted as far as I'm concerned.

Wait, Ned Beatty again?!  YES!

We see perhaps the worst car ever, the AMC Pacer, in this episode.

This one has, in essence, a train chase.

Also Dennis is in this one.

Oh yeah, Rocky too!
