People call the writing on this show "sharp" and "slick"? What?
Some of it is quite entertaining, but much of it borders on silly. THIS episode drives over the border in broad daylight and stakes its claim as Silliest Rockford I Ever Saw. I've watched about half of the higher-rated episodes in S1 & S2, and that is what this is. Truthfully, I don't even trust the relative ratings among the episodes.
Probably the silliest part of it all is that we're supposed to believe that all of the people in this small town who are involved in the scam are all amazing actors worthy of Oscars.
Positives: the judge and Rockford's lawyer have good scenes and noticing some old time Cali scenery looks a heckuva lot like some of today's rural Cali scenery.
