This is far and away the best detective series ever on television; in fact the only TV series that I like even better is Garner's earlier show, "Maverick." The writing and acting are in a class by themselves, and the viewer gets an anti-establishmentarian feast of people in authority acting like asses in every show, exactly like real life. Every episode of this series is its own little masterpiece. And if you see some real similarities between this show and "The Sopranos," it's because "Sopranos" creator David Chase wrote many of the later "Rockford Files" episodes. This is one of the rare network series that never insulted a viewer's intelligence, and features some of the best writing you'll ever see anywhere. Period.
