I wish they would show that around here. I miss that show even though it can feel seventies dated.

Extremely dated and the 70s were the worst...

Well obviously, but Garner was entertaining.
But the clothing...........

The clothing, the hair, the patterns, the cars, the music, the color schemes. We have yet to recover, if we ever will. And through it all, James Garner was a strong enough person to not let the seventies define who or what he was, hence I stillwould like to catch an episode of the Rockford Files.

I love the seventies, not the far out crazy stuff that people mock today, but I don't think Garner's wardrobe choices were all that bad, and I love the cars. The seventies was the heyday of the great Broughams.
It's on Netflix, that's how I watch it. Two-parter tonight, that means I won't get any sleep lol

That WOULD be kind of shallow of him. Love her only because she's pouring.
Of course I've become hooked on a coffee blend from Fresh Market called "Café Noire" which is a dark and smokey (not burnt) taste and smell. If she's serving that, I Love Lucy too.
Ah the 70's one of my favorite eras for tv shows and fashions. I shop for clothes on ebay from the 70's, I have numerous tv series on DVD from that period, and I've been known to listen to the 70's channel on XM. Also I've seen some series like the Brady Bunch at least twice just for the fashions, cars, and sayings. With that being said....
I watched 2 episodes of the Bob Newhart show last night. One where Jerry (the dentist) sees Bob professionally, and the next was the first Christmas episode where his group comes to the apartment for a party. Complete with Jerry's plaid Christmas pants.
Hate the era for one thing though...it was cold in the winter, and hot in the summer at our house because of the energy crisis, and my mother had to get inventive with making ground beef go further, the worst being with fritos chips. Blech!

I was wondering if anyone would bite on that one. And yes, I do and did again this morning. Oh, and of course with a cup of coffee.

Rewatching Adonis Stevenson's beautiful one punch first round knockout of WBC Light-Heavyweight Champion, Chad Dawson. Stevenson's celebration was almost as beautiful as his knockout.

You love it because you didn't actually live through it and wear the clothes or drive the cars when they were new. It stunk. It wasn't all ugly appliances and shag carpet either. The seventies Broughams were plagued with poor fit and finish in those days. The ones that still remain are the best examples. lol lol lol The engines were ok but what came before was much better. The 70s was also the start of the shrinking Cadillac models---and nasty front wheel drive. Oh the horror!

Yeah, quality was not job one back then.
But how can you pass up a "medium turquoise Dumbarton" interior with "oriental tamo wood" (the laminate was probably sent to many Chevy dealers for their estate wagons as well)?
I lived it, though too young to drive, I knew about cars back then and realized that the cheaper ones were really cheap, especially the big 3.
In keeping with the theme of this thread, that's why the chase scenes were actually sped up film, such as on Starsky and Hutch, Chips, and Hawaii Five O in it's later years.

Oh the horror of that interior! The word Ugly doesn't do it justice. It is uglier than ugly. A friend of my grandmother had that in yellow and it felt like sandpaper. It gets less sandy with age as the material relaxes though. It only takes about 25 years to relax.....lol lol
