The Rockford Files: Local Man Eaten by Newspaper (1978)
Weak story line in Local man eaten by newspaper.
What is the deal with this episode? I try and get in to it but there is something missing, it's like it has no soul or something.
Plus there is a ridiculous instance when Rockford, Coop and the 2 Mafia guys climb out of the burning newspaper building. The cops show up to 4 guys and a burning building and they automatically attempt to arrest them, why? Wouldn't the cops first idea be to see if everyone is OK? Why would they suspect that they are criminals? Plus, the most glaring point that I have a problem with is that Jim tells one of the cops, "officer, I'm a private detective and the man on the end is my associate" the cops than release them. In all the years of TRF has any cop EVER been impressed by the fact that Rockford is a PI? In my experience they have been HARDER on him exactly because he IS a PI!!!
