One of the worst

I love Rockford, and have watched all the shows several times. It became apparent that as time went on, either the writers became bored with the show, or the original writers were replaced.

I don't know what the point was of this show; it was not entertaining, intriguing, suspenseful or interesting. The first 10 minutes of the show have Rockford and his friends at a detective's convention. It was actually as boring as a REAL convention. Even James Garner and Tom Selleck are not capable of making a professional convention anything but utterly tiresome.

The rest of the show was spent looking for a killer who killed somebody that no one knew nor cared about and trying to protect an accused innocent man with the personality of a door knob.

In between the above, we see Rockford constantly exasperated at his seemingly perfect, saccharin sweet, plastic rival played by Tom Selleck. There was not one redeeming quality in this entire episode.

I usually at least enjoy looking at Tom Selleck, but in this episode, he was so annoying I just wanted him to go away.
