Jim Rockford Quotes

«Cannell me enseñó que el héroe puede hacer muchas cosas malas, puede cometer toda clase de errores, puede ser vago y parecer tonto, siempre y cuando sea el tipo más listo de la habitación y haga bien su trabajo. Eso es lo que les pedimos a nuestros héroes.» En otras palabras, Jim Rockford era un antecesor de Tony Soprano.

Full disclosure. I’m a guy weaned on the reruns of 1970’s and 80’s action/adventure TV shows. You couple that with a pretty white trash upbringing that, when not down at the comic book shop and learning about the art of Jack Cole and obscure Italian crime movies from Von Rudy, translated into an inordinate amount of time spent hanging around Lemons Speedway unsupervised while my mother looked for love, and you’ll see that my convincing a broken down daredevil stuntman drinking buddy of my mom’s named No Eyes Majewsky into teaching me how to pull out of a parking space like Jim Rockford and then raise hell on four wheels seemed like the most natural thing in the world.
