I decided to track down and view The Rockford Files TV Movies which still have a taste of the original TV show. Many of the original cast are back again which is an extra bonus and they play their parts perfectly as they did back in the 70's (I have listed them below).
The TV movies pick-up nearly 15 years later from when the TV show ended, but it's also good to note that this may never have happened if the legal disputes between Garner and Universal hadn't been resolved.
The famed P.I. works to uncover facts of the death of a wealthy socialite whose two grown children are accused of murdering her. Complicating matters are Rockford's omnipresent "friend" Angel, and Rockford's ex-wife Kit, a lawyer who represents the children.
