Admittedly a pretty lame excuse to give the cast and crew of 'The Rockford Files' a free vacation to Hawaii at NBC/Universal's expense, just as the series was winding down. I recall Jack Klugman from 'Quincy' complain about this on one of the talk shows around that time. Where was the free vacation for those who worked on his show? Well, guess what Jack? THE ROCKFORD FILES was a fabulous series, one of the best, and 'Hawaiian Headache' is a very funny episode. After watching it enough times to remember whole chunks of dialogue, I still laughed out loud a half dozen times while watching it again. Sure, it's contrived, feels slightly out of place in the Rockford cannon. And there is a risk in making your hero a hapless putz, as Cannell does here. But Stephen J. Cannell was a clever, brilliant writer. I frequently marvel at his talent. Could you have done any better? Not me. And the cast - especially Ken Swofford - make it very enjoyable. I'm sure I'll watch it again, sometime.
