On this day, March 27, 1974, the movie pilot of "The Rockford Files" was aired.

I've got the Mike Post theme song running through my head right now.

On this date in 1974, #TheRockfordFiles television movie pilot aired on NBC starring #JamesGarner, in which a woman (#LindsayWagner) hires Rockford to discover if her father's death was homicide or suicide. #BillMumy also guest stars. "Rocky" is portrayed by #RobertDonley.

I LOVE The Rockford Files! James Garner is one of my favorites of all time.

In fact, I can still watch it on either Pluto or Tubi.
