'The Rockford Files’ Remake: Who Should Be the New Jim Rockford?
Posted February 11th, 2010 by Kim
UPDATE 2.11.10: I originally posted this last July, when buzz started that NBC was going to remake the classic James Garner drama The Rockford Files. The Hollywood Reporter recently mentioned Matt Dillon’s name as one of the actors producers were persuing for the redo, but in the last couple of days here at TVScreener.com, fans have been excitedly voicing their support for Stargate: Atlantis star Joe Flanigan as the man who could fill Garner’s Emmy-winning Rockford shoes.
I agree, Flanigan would be an excellent Jim Rockford, able to pull off the humor, the leading man charm, the action bits … Rockford producers, the people have spoken (and are continuing to speak). Is Mr. Flanigan on your Rockford Files short list?

for an online petition......It boggles the mind to contemplate that.
Years ago we did a HUGE petition to save WISEGUY
and apparently CBS got a lot of them by mail.
It brought them back........at least for another year
and same for Magnificent Seven.
I have high hopes for this endeavor also.
Maybe if we pester NBC enough they will see he has
good grass root support.

meanwhile just keep it going so more and more know about
the link leaving a message at NBC.
If the decision is coming up soon, it'll be some convention at Vancouver......
WOW!!!!!
