Heroes were supposed to act in a certain way. Genres such as private eye shows were held to be sacred.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Rockford Files\u003c\/em\u003e (NBC, 1974-1980) changed all of that, leaving its mark on 1970s television while also influencing two generations of TV writers, TV shows, and TV heroes. \u003cbr\u003eFueled by innovative writing and the star power of James Garner, \u003cem\u003eThe Rockford Files\u003c\/em\u003e was the perfect melding of a character, Jim Rockford, and an actor-Garner-who understood that character better than anyone else. Winner of five Emmys, including Best Actor (Garner) and Best Dramatic Series (1978), \u003cem\u003eRockford\u003c\/em\u003e was also the perfect television show because it offered something for everyone. Women loved Rockford because of his hang-dog looks and deep brown eyes. Men loved him because he could throw a punch (even when it hurt his hand) and drive a car faster than anyone else. Plus there was Rockford's relationship with his dad, his Pontiac Firebird (a character unto itself), the wacky phone messages that began each episode, and the many singular characters that our hero encountered every week in the unique populace known as Los Angeles.
