The Rockford Agency
NOAH BEERY JR. & JAMES GARNER "The Rockford Files"
"The Rockford Files" was an entertainingly written show with a wonderful ensemble cast. James Garner played a great "regular guy" private eye.

What made Rockford a popular TV detective? He'd prefer to talk his way out of trouble rather than fight. His Colt revolver spends most of its time in a cookie jar. Most importantly, Jim is a decent guy, down on his luck, hoping (forlornly) to pick up his $200 a day plus expenses.
One of my favorite shows and characters premiered on this date 49 years ago. In 1974, James Garner brought private detective Jim Rockford to life on The Rockford Files. $200 a day. Plus expenses. You can definitely see shades of Rockford's influence on my Snow series.
