The Rockford Files: Season 6

A crusty old ex-sheriff, C.C. Calloway (Leif Erickson), is doing everything he can to get Rockford kicked out of the neighborhood (complete with recording action that had occurred around Rockford's trailer such as gunfire). He has already won a $35,000 legal judgment against Rockford after an accident, causing the court to appoint Althea Morgan (Mariette Hartley) to examine Rockford’s finances. At a meeting of the neighbors of the cove where Calloway tries to make a vote to expel Rockford, Morga

Jim rubs shoulders with royalty when a princess hires him because she believes someone is trying to kill her friend (Lauren Bacall).

Jim traces a killer via a barman, florist and gangster in order to establish who ordered the Princess' friend killed…

Rockford’s hangdog friend Eddie (George Loros) recommends Jim to his boss, rock and roll star Tim Ritchie (Kristoffer Tabori), to look for Brian Charles, Tim’s ex-bandmate, who has gone missing and has a spotty history of drug use and iffy associations. Rockford would not be interested in the gig except he’s being paid twice his usual rate. Meanwhile a smart and attractive reporter, Whitney Cox (Marcia Strassman), is wandering freely over the estate of the rock star, who is in the middle of cont

Rockford and Eddie (George Loros) continue to investigate. Their search has them coming across such record industry staples as egotistical producers and rockers’ ex-lovers, but their best lead is when they learn the missing Brian had passed a recording master of Tim Ritchie’s latest opus to shady industry man Bernie Seldon (Stanley Brock), and the market was subsequently flooded by bootleg albums. Rockford links it to other bits of information he’d learned, and he and Eddie and Whitney (Marcia S

Rockford is asked by on-again off-again flame Megan Dougherty (Kathryn Harrold) to clear a man, Jeffrey Smith (Anthony Herrera), suspected of serious offenses. The emotional complications soar when she reveals she and Jeff are engaged. The case complications follow when Jeff disappears and is suspected of murder. Featuring David Carroll, Van Williams, Richard Cox, David Cadiente, and a brief scene of Barbara Mandrell in concert.

Rockford has been named the Investigator of the Year for some obscure clerical comparisons he made. A state senator is murdered at the annual P.I. dinner where Jim is to receive his award, and the hapless Freddie Beamer (James Whitmore Jr.) is the prime suspect. Rockford bails out Beamer and agrees to help him clear his name, but also in Freddie's camp is true blue investigator Lance White (Tom Selleck), to whom clues and solved cases and everyone but Rockford’s high praises come effortlessly.

Jim is Rocky’s guest on a Hawaiian vacation he won in the mail. But as soon as Jim arrives in Honolulu his old army commander (Ken Swofford) enlists him on a secret “routine” intelligence errand. When it goes awry it leaves a mess involving a dead agent, a lost case of money, Jim having been drugged by Vietnamese spies with guns, a surprise appearance by Angel and Dennis, and Rocky furious at Jim (with a bullet in his arm) for ruining his vacation. With Danny Kamekona, Christopher Cary, James Mu

The pimp tracks her down and gets her to go back to working for him by threatening to kill Rockford. Jim gets Angel’s help in finding her, which sets the stage for the final confrontation. With Corinne Camacho, Iggie Wolfington, William Beckley, Jillian Kesner-Graver and Michael Jeffers.

A reporter friend Eddie Hellinger (Francis X. McCarthy) phones Rockford and tells him to expect an important package in the mail. Mobster Chuck Ryan (Alan Manson) wants the package at all costs and sends a couple of thugs to Rockford’s home every day to await the mail’s arrival. Rockford goes searching for Eddie but learns he has been killed. Rockford is told by Sally Packard (Constance Towers), who has some inside knowledge on what’s going on, that he was working on a series of articles about t

Rockford is flown to New Jersey, but when he learns the case involves organized crime figures he wants no part of it. As circumstances unfold Rockford ends up advising a born again ex-mafia don, Joseph Lombard (Gilbert Green), on a matter that involves a dead body that was stolen in its casket. Also around are two neighbourhood toughs, Eugene (Greg Antonacci) and Mickey (Gene Davis), who have latched onto Lombard believing he is their ticket to becoming ‘connected’. They’re not overly bright, bu

While on a fishing trip Rockford gets swindled into casting a proxy vote on a law that would sneak legalized gambling into the town of Parma. Jim finds himself with his hands full having to deal with an unseasoned journalist looking for a story, a corrupt sheriff who runs him out of town, and two sets of gangsters on opposite sides of the issue, both leaning on him to vote their way.
