Alternate Universe thing...
Jul. 23rd, 2014 03:57 pmFor a challenge at
gameofcards to create an AU. As a tribute to the recently departed James Garner, always a favorite actor of mine, I did an update of The Rockford Files, 21st century style. Here's what I said about this show for a previous challenge:
"With the most awesome James Garner as a hapless, lovable loser type of private detective, with his own set of morals, a funky trailer on the beach, and a Pontiac Firebird. One of the best gimmicks of the show, and one that really illustrated Rockford's character, was the opening telephone answering machine message. See the sample here."
