The BEST episodes of The Rockford Files season 6

Every episode of The Rockford Files season 6, ranked from best to worst by thousands of votes from fans of the show. The best episodes of The Rockford Files season 6!

Emmy® winner James Garner stars as the offbeat Jim Rockford, an ex-con-turned-private-investigator who would rather fish than fight but whose instinct on closed cases is more golden than his classic Pontiac Firebird. From his mobile home in Malibu, this wisecracking private eye takes you on the cases of the lost and the dispossessed, chasing down seemingly long-dead clues in the sun-baked streets and seamy alleys of Los Angeles.
