Hollywood's so weird. They keep rebooting things, even though they usually don't turn out well. The latest in the trend is The Rockford Files, which House creator David Shore will be rebooting for NBC. Shore is cool, and The Rockford Files was cool, but I really doubt this will be the next Battlestar. It might be a procedural, the second most durable genre on television (next to cheap cheap fun fun reality), but you just know too many chefs in the NBC executives' office kitchen are just going to ruin it and its awesome theme song, I don't care if Ben Silverman is gone. Call it a hunch. That I would bet my life savings on.
But, no matter how quickly the reboot is canceled, it won't take away from how great the original Rockford Files was. I was unemployed for about a month a few years ago, and while I should have spent that free time out enjoying the city, doing things you never get to do during the day when you're cooped up in an office, I ended up hooked on TV Land's Rockford Files re-runs, all day, pretty much every day. That's how I chose to spend a month in Manhattan with a completely open calendar. It's genuinely that captivating. Plus, Isaac Hayes was on it sometimes! See:
