Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaRobert Donley portrayed Joseph "Rocky" Rockford only in the pilot. Noah Beery Jr. would pick up the role for the duration of the series. Donley's portrayal was shown to be slightly seedy, as demonstrated by allowing his son to be the victim of an attempted shakedown by his Records Clerk acquaintance.
- GoofsThe file folders Angel looks through for Rockford are all unlabeled.
- Quotes
Jim Rockford: You know what's wrong with karate Jerry? It's based on the ridiculous assumption that the other guy will fight fair.
- Alternate versionsSyndicated repeats are split into two parts, with an alternate opening sequence that features the series' title card over a shot of Rockford's mobile home with the answering machine message, regarding Lt. Chapman's birthday, playing in the background. This opening removes any shots of Noah Beery as he does not appear in the episode.
- ConnectionsFollowed by The Rockford Files: Deadlock in Parma (1980)
Featured review
7/10
Very enjoyable first episode with the wonderfully beautiful Lindsay Wagner. Very excited to start this show as I've heard great things over the years. This first episode didn't blow me away or anything but it has definitely set a pulpy tone that's going to keep me coming back.
