Jim Rockford (James Garner) plays an ex-con-turned-private-investigator.
The Rockford Files is an American detective (private investigator) television drama that had its first run on the NBC television network between September 13, 1974 and January 10, 1980 and has been in constant syndication to the present day.
The show is notable for the quality of its writing (mainly from Stephen J. Cannell, Juanita Bartlett, and David Chase), the easy charm and charisma of James Garner, who starred as Jim Rockford, and an agile Pontiac Firebird.
The show was created by Roy Huggins and Stephen J. Cannell.
Huggins had produced the television show Maverick, which had also starred Garner, from 1957 to 1962, and wanted to try and recapture that magic in a “modern day” detective setting.
He teamed with Cannell, who had written for Jack Webb productions such as Adam-12 and Chase (1973–74, NBC), to create Rockford.
The show was credited as “A Public Arts / Roy Huggins Production in association with Cherokee Productions and Universal Studios” (later NBC Universal). Cherokee was the name of Garner’s own company, which he ran with partner Meta Rosenberg and Juanita Bartlett, who doubled as story editor during most of Rockford’s run.
The series’ memorable theme by composers Mike Post and Pete Carpenter received Top 40 radio airplay, went to #10 on the Billboard Hot 100, stayed 44 weeks on the charts, and won a Grammy Award for Best Instrumental Arrangement.
Created by Stephen J. Cannell, Roy Huggins. With James Garner, Noah Beery Jr., Joe Santos.
