Episode 95 - Season 4 Wrapup

Time for one of our season wrap-up episodes.

This of course makes sense as we just finished season 4.

Hey, I buried the lede, it's Jeff from the 70s TV Detectives!

Some people don't like Richie Brockelman, I don't understand these people.

What episodes were the best?

Which ones weren't?

Where does Rockford fit in in the 70s detective pantheon?  We ask Jeff.

How did the show mirror the 70s?

Episode 94 - Dave and Steve Get On Jon's Luxury Helicopter

These titles are getting odder.  That said, I like this one.

Oh man, part 2 moves quickly.

'Hi Vern, getting any?'

Steve informs me that is the sam dispatcher as in Adam 12!

I still chuckle at Trapper John playing BJ.

The thing of it is is, that's a wilco.

'Do you have a 38 automatic?'

We saw the actor who played Sgt. Coopersmith like two episodes ago!

The title card at the end, wow.

Don't point.

This episode might be the most prescient of the series.

Episode 93- Steve, Dave and Jon say, that's a Wilco

There are four 'that's a wilco's' in this episode.  When I say 'episode' I'm talking about roughly the first half of 'The House On Willis Aveenue', which might be my favourite episode, other than Boy King, the other Richie Brockelman episode.

RICHIE!

Some people don't like Richie.  I don't understand these people.

That's a wilco.

The thing of it is is.

I love how Richie sees Jim as a hero, but he's not above bullshitting him.

We've got to microspool and degauss as often as possible.

That's a wilco.

Is Richie Pete Campbell? A thing like that.

JACKIE COOPER!

PERNELL ROBERTS!  

Also, that's Trapper John playing a guy named BJ.

We'll finish this one up next week!
