I enjoy these 50th anniversary posts of yours.

Inspired me to watch this episode for the first time in almost 30 years.

At the end of the credits, it mentions that the stolen painting is...

How much do I like the show?

I recently attended a convention (which fortunately was in the LA area) on the 50th anniversary of the first episode.

Here I am in front of Rockford's famous...

The Rockford Files is back on Amazon Prime.

It is FREE and has ZERO COMMERCIALS, and the picture quality is good. You can watch any episode from all 6 seasons on demand. Perfect for a Jew like...

My dad really enjoyed that show.

He fits in the demographic, too. Blue Bloods had (by far) the oldest audience of any prime time network show, with the median viewer age being 73! Wow!

A lot of the acting also connects to the casting.

If a part is written specifically for the actor -- such as James Garner in "The Rockford Files" -- it's much easier for the actor to be...

I liked this episode a lot. The ending was a bit corny/gimmicky, but still oddly satisfying.

This one was written by Jermone Coopersmith, who penned a lot of the good Five-O episodes, including...

Oh and bonus content... here is William Smith fighting Mr. T in "The A-Team" in one of the series' first episodes, in early 1983.

You can see them at the beginning talking to each other in a van,...

This is one of my favorites, also. It has some similarities to "Draw Me a Killer". In both, the killer is a mentally disturbed young man, whose crimes are seemingly random, but turn out to be based...

Been awhile since I watched this episode. I also liked it, and thought it was one of the better ones of the series.

As Mike pointed out in his review, this particular episode couldn't have done...

I went to an event for The Rockford Files last weekend. It was celebrating the 50 year anniversary of the start of the series.

William Smith had a memorable scene as a bad guy in the pilot...

I agree she did a good job with the role. She was just too old. Mike and I both independently noticed this when we wrote our reviews. She did appear youthful when shown from a distance, but there...

While I liked "Joker", McKinsey was miscast, as she was way too old for the part.

Strangely enough, she and Melody Patterson (Tot Kee's assistant Missy in "Cry, Lie") would have been perfect for...

I felt "A Lion in the Streets" was a mess of a two parter.

Like you said above, in a way it was almost two different stories. The "union election" part of the story basically died out in part 2...

I agree regarding The Grandstand Play's length.

Some 2-part/2-hour Five-O episodes have this problem. They had too much material for one episode, but not enough for two, so they padded them with...

Draw Me a Killer was my favorite episode. It was also the second Five-O episode I ever saw, which got me hooked on the show.

He did a great job in that one.

I felt he was too old in "The...

This site was under attack by Chinese hackers recently. It is not personal. They are just trying to flood the system so they can take it over in some way.

I believe I have blocked them out, but...

You may not understand the subject matter, but here's a little Seinfeld skit I did using AI tools.

It wasn't completely AI generated. It took me a few hours to create and edit. I wrote the...

The first 8 are reasonable:


- 3 11 Over Fifty? Steal 1970 282 8.9
2 5 10 'V' for Vashon: The Father 1972 202 8.6
1 5 11 'V' for Vashon: The Patriarch 1972 191 8.6
1 6 1 Hookman 1973 210 8.5...

Woe to Wo Fat being #1 is all you need to know regarding how stupid the ratings are.

The problem is that it's a generic ratings site for tons of series, and they make no effort to sort the results...

Interesting observations.

I am a big fan of Miami Vice. However, I would not call it a "realistic" look at police work/life. Miami Vice was actually a television version of film noir. It was...

Yeah I don't understand how Five-O is supposed to be "right wing". If anything, the show was more left than right, with some episodes featuring pro-environmental or anti-gun messaging.
...

I watched it.

Bobbi, the aquarium thing makes sense! I couldn't understand how there were so many fish in the underwater shots (as well as more interesting creatures like stingrays), and how they...

I might watch this one tonight and give my review. It's been 30 years or so since I've seen it!

Seemed that Five-Zero was setting up a potential reunion movie with how it all ended. The fact that Daniel Dae Kim and Grace Park seemingly made up with the showrunners made this even more likely.
...

I definitely found the obsession that certain middle-aged women had with Alex to be very creepy.

Apparently that contingent was responsible for a lot of the noise on the internet, objecting to...
