[kirinrex]

These were SO creative.

[Jamesmac30]

Exellent - I always loved the phone message start to the show

[vanitysadeparis]

LOL.

[streamingmadly]

Thanks. I could never quite make out what the answering machine was saying.

[garyhosty]

thanks - very enjoyable.

[Usfourcases]

Thanks bro:) Brings back some good old memories...

[majik2hanz]

Great compilation thanks....I often these comedic telephone message intros from Rockford was inspiration for CSI Miami's Horatio Caine bad pun one liners.....

Rockford FIles was soo much better of a TV show.

Has anybody got the message from the old lady who represented the Campaign For A Nicer Malibu (or similar) - that one was just the crowning moment of funny!

[tommiej3]

@queengriddle that was the BEST ever - thanking him for the contribution and "oh, by the way can you move that trailers of yours - its pretty unsightly"

hey at the time I was living in brewster NY which is near danbury ct , right on the border. yes tv land is just a nother channel now. lost everything that made it special.

[vinnyhoags]

What a classic. The Acting +writing was some of the best ever. Best Regards to James Garner +family.

[testodude]

I seem to remember one where this old codger doesn't know he's talking to a machine, and just says "HELLO? HELLO?"

That cracked me up.

Anyway, thanks for posting.

Great message that stands the test of time. No doubt still used across the English speaking world.

[lockwoodisafaggot]

I copied his message for my answering machinie back in the day. What a fucking great show..

[Frostbyte380]

I always liked the greeting on one episode it went like this:

This is incredible. Do you know that last night I had one of my dreams? I dreamed that if I called you, you wouldn't be home. And you're not.

[timed02906]

LOL...that's a good one! :D

[ringbolt9]

they are still on a channel called RTV retro tv airs them here in NY weeknites. LOve this show! jim was so cool...laid back and had that hot pontiac.

[Juliaflo]

May I ask where in New York? I am from New York City and want to persuade my cable provider to carry RTV. TV Land has turned to you-know-what.

[pdennis93]

LOL. i like the one "this is shirly from the bank, the answers are no no and yes. no we won't loan you money, no we won't accept a cosigner, and yes your account is overdrawn."

[DIECASTER]

At the time it was on back in the 70`s I didn`t watch it very often because I would be outside hanging out with my friends. I now have them on DVD,....and yes it was one of the all time best T.V. shows ever. They still hold up today. :-))

[Monaghan]

They should put the Rockford Files back on NBC!

[streamingmadly]

@Monaghan James Garner was is far too old. What do you think about Ben Browder from Farscape as Jim Rockford?

[Monaghan]

@streamingmadly

I know he is now. I was talking about just having the show back on whether it be reruns of the original or a remake. It wouldn't be a bad idea to have James Garner as a guest once in a while!

[VegasMobsters]

@Monaghan yah tv was great back then

[Quartzquiz]

@Monaghan According to wikipedia NBC is working on it.

[spotswoodthenewt]

LOL
