Socrates, great review. Very perceptive. While Rockford riffed and satirized the period it took place, the percentage of poseurs’ was much smaller then. Adults didn’t stand in line for 9 hours to buy an I Phone or to buy the first latte at the newest Starbucks location. Cars were of the muscle variety and nobody walked around with ear phones. David Chase did a few things in one episode here that he creatively repeated in the Sopranos.

The thing I learned from Rockford is that if you act like you know what you’re doing and you look sincere, you can trick people into giving you information. It’s a useful technique to learn, and no one was a better teacher that Jim Rockford.
And no one was cooler than James Garner — everyone from Burt Reynolds to Tom Selleck to Harrison Ford have adopted his easy-going smile-your-way-out-of-danger persona.
Great review!
