Another poor attempt at slapstick humor. The "Lance White" episodes were simply too slapstick for the willful suspension of disbelief to remain intact throughout. Similar to the 90s Rockford movie "The Rockford Files: Shoot-Out at the Golden Pagoda," the attempt here fails in that almost none of this is believable - even in the alternate "life" of The Rockford Files. Had an attempt like "Golden Pagoda" or the Lance White episodes aired in the first year or two, the original Rockford Files series might very well have been canceled. The charm and wit of James Garner is what made The Rockford Files" special; the character was one that we strove to identify with. Not like this.
