The Rockford Files is an American detective (private investigator)
television drama originally aired on the NBC television network between
September 13, 1974 and January 10, 1980; it has remained in constant
syndication to the present day. The show is notable for the quality of
its writing, largely from Stephen J. Cannell, Juanita Bartlett, and
David Chase, the easy charm and charisma of James Garner, who starred as
Jim Rockford, and an agile Pontiac Firebird.
The show was created by Roy Huggins and Cannell. Huggins had created the
television show Maverick, which had also starred Garner, from 1957 to
1962, and wanted to try to recapture that magic in a "modern day"
detective setting. He teamed with Cannell, who had written for Jack Webb
productions such as Adam-12 and Chase (1973–74, NBC), to create
Rockford. The show was credited as "A Public Arts / Roy Huggins
Production in association with Cherokee Productions and Universal
Studios. Cherokee was the name of Garner's own company, which he ran
with partners Meta Rosenberg and Juanita Bartlett, who doubled as story
editor during most of Rockford's run.
