The script saved this one

I agree with many reviewers that say this was not a favorite episode (okay, some were more disparaging than that). I agreed with one reviewer who said that those Coupla Guys were not prime series material either.

However, because of the script (and a decent enough stable of actors) I found myself enjoying this one. Granted, I would have wanted Rockford to be a more busy participant than he was. Most of the cast, though, proved themselves to be up to the quality of the script.

No, this was not my favorite Rockford episode. Not even close. At the same time, I found myself feeling pretty darn good about the whole thing by the time the credits rolled.

For a 6th season episode, it wasn't as weak as I'd expected.

Thanks to the script, primarily.
