Had to hang these photos of two of my heroes on the wall. Spenser and Jim Rockford. The autographs are reprints. No way in hell would I pay for an original 😂. #spenserforhire #roberturich #averybrooks #therockfordfiles #jamesgarner #detective

Born OTD: #JamesGarner . I was 2 years old when the UK aired #TheRockfordFiles . It's taken me until 50 to watch it but I'm on S4 and, my gosh, his presence is so warm & likeable. Great writing on some hard-hitting topics, laid-back humour, and top-notch characters. Gigi & James Garner
'Jim is abducted while investigating a prospective son-in-law'
