Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe united Methodist church where Rocky delivers the eulogy for T.T. Flowers is the same church used where they had the (faked) funeral service for Angel in Chicken Little Is a Little Chicken (1975).
- GoofsAt the police station, Dennis mentions T.T. Flowers' "Freedom" property is 3 acres. However, earlier in a conversation with Rocky we learned it is ten acres.This is incorrectly regarded as a goof. T.T. Flowers originally bought ten acres, which was referred to by Rocky, but Flowers had sold acreage at different times to Muellard until there were only three acres remaining at the time the episode takes place. Hence the discussion of the bulldozing of his former orange grove that became the apartments next door. It was how Flowers paid his taxes, but he decided to not sell any more to Muellard and how the property was set for liquidation at auction.
- Quotes
Jim Rockford: This is Jim Rockford. At the tone leave your name and message, I'll get back to you.
Evelyn 'Angel' Martin: [Beeep] Jimmy-y-y old buddy buddy, it's Angel! You know how they allow you one phone call... well this is it...

Rockford Battles a 'Cuckoo's Nest' Situation...
I suspect this episode was inspired by "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest", one of the best films ever made. Evocative in that the empathetic viewer could be totally sane, yet evil powers-that-be could take away literally everything - terrifying! Strother Martin plays the part of the put-upon citizen admirably. The thugs sure appear to have the upper hand in this part one of two! Regarding the trivia items which mention the car horn: The car involved in the horn incident, a Ferrari Dino, had a two-tone air horn with mechanical compressor dedicated to horn air; true that the freon-powered horn that they pulled out after being planted by Rocky wouldn't sound as depicted, but it WOULD have sounded exactly like the Dino's horn with one trumpet not functioning. The freon-powered horn would NOT have lasted more than two or three minutes before freezing up and would have died at the most five minutes after being activated; that little can of propellant only holds so much. Great episode, nice to see "Braless Beth"in her nightie - so sexy!
