We watched another episode of “The Rockford Files” last night. I am continually amazed at how well that show holds up 50 years later.
I want Rockford’s car. Of course I do. But I also want all of his sports jackets.
When watching early 70s mysteries, part of the treat is seeing the lineup of guest stars who would become big stars later in the decade, as well as formerly big stars at the end of their careers. Last night’s episode featured Suzanne Somers as a wealthy expatriate. This was only a year after she played the blonde in the T-Bird in American Graffiti, and she still doesn’t have a speaking role here. Jill Clayburgh plays a bubbly hippie artist’s model.
