Patzer
In a highway driving scene, at approximately 28:17, Rockford is driving a 1974 model (with single headlights) of his ubiquitous golden brown Pontiac Firebird, but just seconds later, at 28:25, as he is pulling into the parking area of his destination, inexplicably he is now driving a 1978 model (with dual headlights) of the same color Pontiac Firebird Esprit.

Zitate
Jim Rockford: This is Jim Rockford. At the tone leave your name and message, I'll get back to you.
Friend: [beeep] Jim, I have to thank you for talking over my problems with me last Tuesday night; I love you for it. But can you have lunch tomorrow and talk about the divorce? I'm real bummed out.

Babysitting a cop

A contact through an insurance company that employs Jim Rockford gets him a job babysitting a celebrity cop played by Hector Elizondo. And does this guy need babysitting. He can't let go of the job no matter what the circumstances. His manner would get him punched out for general principles and in fact Elizondo and James Garner do get into a bar brawl during which time Elizondo gets away from Garner and assaults an ex-partner from Chicago.

Everybody caters to Elizondo including Joe Santos and Noah Beery, Jr. who's just thrilled to death to be having a celebrity in his home. But there are some real people out to get him and by proximity Rockford himself.

The role Elizondo plays is clearly based on David Toma who did have a couple TV series based on him. Elizondo is some loose cannon out there.

Not as good as some Rockford episodes, but better than most television.
