    Thanks for your excellent efforts in adding more locations & people stories.
    I love the Rockford Files, and I check your site nearly every day.
    FYI CoziTV shows the RF on weekends, but they are edited (cuts!) and full of ads, but its better than nothing. So why do I watch them when I have all of the DVD's ??
    Keep up the good work!!!!

    The opening dialog from this episode is just another example of the great writing on the Rockford Files.
    Mrs. Fornechefsky: I'm afraid you don't seem to be hearing me Mr. Turcel [Rockford]. I really don't need an encyclopedia.
    Rockford: Ahhh, Mrs. Fornechefsky - if you had any idea how many people tell me that and end up with these books, you'd almost be embarrassed to say it.

    And just to clarify: Connie Sawyer is the oldest currently living actor/actress in America. That's of all actors/actresses - not just the ones who appeared on the Rockford Files.
