Tom Sawyer Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 I think the Rockford Files would work today if it was updated to modern times. I still love the show, but it's very dated. For instance the suits Jim wears. and... $200 a day would only pay for lunch and gas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hands down the best TV theme song of all time. Get down baby. Opening Credits: Better audio: Closing credits: If you dont get the groove of this tune, give it up. Also related, the TV theme to The Jeffersons, sung by Janet Dubois (Wilona from GT). http://www.metacafe.com/watch/2390157/jeff...ening_tv_theme/ VIVA 70s!!!!!!!

Cowtothesky Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 Gomer Pyle! I always thought they should make a Gomer Pyle movie starring Jim Carey. All you would need in the trailer is Carey saying, "Suprise Suprise Suprise!" I thought that show was hillarious when I was a kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
circumstantial tree Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 I'm watching a lot of 70's television lately and it was so much better back then. Shame it's not like that anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
