Why does the network have to try replacing James Garner in a role he created and with which he will forever be associated? If NBC's hope is to draw older viewers who liked the original <i>Rockford Files</i>, I suspect the endeavor will be a bomb. Better that it go for something new.<br /><br />Cheers,<br />JeffJ.

Josh Holloway *owns* that detached trailer park slouch that only Garner could pull off with such panache. Until now. C'mon: don't you think it would be amusing to see a new century spin on this enduring old favorite?Linda L.
