Episode 102 - Jon, Steve and Dave Got Yer Jersey Bounce Right Here

Toughest title to come up with in a long time.

David Chase doing Soprano things.

Indeed, I wonder if these guys know Carmella and Tony.

It's always good when horrible people do bad things and then you get to watch their fall.

They are hilariously stupid (just like a crime family David Chase invented years later...)

There's eventual talk of a spinoff!

Plus, you get Jacques Renault from Twin Peaks being killed and Coop as one of the investigators.  I wonder if David Lynch was a Rockford fan...

The Carpenters joke landed for me.

That was indeed a weird pager noise.

Oh we get the introduction of John Cooper in this episode.  Wait, Jon Cooper (no h) is the coach of the Canadian Olympic team.  Wait, also, we have our own Jon no h.  Wait, also, 'Jersey' is mentioned in this episode.   Canada Gold Medal confirmed. 

Oh yeah the reboot, they've got their Jim!

Boogie Woogie music up around your ears.

Episode 96 - The Thing of It Is Is

 

Oooh, we're going off the board for 50 Jack.

After season 4 of the Rockford Files wrapped, Richie Brockelman, Private Eye, premiered.  It lasted only 5 episodes sadly.

Many people believe that Richie was introduced in 'The House on Willis Avenue' but that's not true!  Indeed, on October 27, 1976, NBC aired the made for TV movie pilot 'Richie Brockelman: The Missing 24 Hours' and we are here to bring the excitement to you!

Suzanne Pleshette basically is Emily Hartley, but with amnesia.

That's not actually how amnesia tends to work Richie.

You get an early idea that Richie is smart.

Wait, Normal Fell!

We get one 'what they hey' and no 'the thing of it is is' from Richie.  That came with his series and of course his Rockford guest spots.

If this was a regular 48 minute episode it would be really good.  They had to do back story which slows it down.
