Season 2, Episode 11
Rockford's web

I've seen a few extreme reviews of this episode, both good and bad, and mine will fall somewhere in between. Right off the bat, let me say that the scam the little town pulls on unsuspecting folks seems a tad unrealistic, even though the writers made it seem almost realistic, but I couldn't totally buy into how easy it was, until Rockford gets caught up in it, and he figures out a way to finally end the ruse. Some of the familiar faces include Bill Quinn, Gretchen Corbett, Kathie Browne, and Richard Herd, and they were all solid in their roles; Rocky had a few nice scenes as well. I prefer the episodes when most of the scenes are outdoors, and that happens often in this one, in a cool small town. I can't think of much that stood out for me, other than what I just mentioned, but it was still an interesting, if not unrealistic, twist than the usual formula. I did enjoy how Rockford figured everything out, even if the ending seemed rushed.
