    James Garner was one of the best. I think he rated up there with John Wayne Lee Marvin James Corbin and one of my favorites Humphy Bogart. I know these are just a few of the greats and Mr. Garner belongs in that company. I still watch his TV shows and Movies.

    I loved the Rockford files back when I grew up.
    Even had the theme music as a ringtone at one time.
    Seems he had a good career and a great run.

    R.I.P. Maverick

    I don't know what it was about the guy, but I loved everything that he did, just because he was in it; I never tired of his apparently effortless acting, his charm and wry wit. I never missed episodes of "Maverick" and "The Rockford Files", and I saw many of his movies; he made even the lousy ones worth watching.

    Well, Jim, at least the knees don't hurt anymore.

    Damn...I'm feeling old.

    It's the same when you are stupid.

    When I was a young 'un, and they hadn't begun to make 'movies for TV' yet, they used to show a lot of films from the '30s and '40s. My mom would be watching and some actor/actress from her era would be on the screen. She would say their name and lament the fact that they had passed away. Now, at my age I can remember that and know how she must have felt. The great ones that we knew and loved in our day are passing on and there is a sense of our own mortality as we see them go.

    I liked him when I was maybe 10 years old in Maverick but I will always see him in my mind's eye as Jim Rockford. He had a good long run.

    The Great Escape. One of my favorite movies and James Garner was such a great character in it. R.I.P.
