Synopsis. As a favor to his ex-wife, attorney Halley “Kit” Kittredge (played by Joanna Cassidy), Rockford agrees to probe the murder of her friend, legendary film star Lila Lansing. I Still Love L.A. was the No. 1 show on the West Coast that night, and finished fourth in the overall Nielsen ratings for the week ending Nov. 27, 1994. It scored an 18.5 rating, with a 28 share, acing out Cagney & Lacey: The Return as the highest-rated made-for-TV movie for the entire 1994-1995 season. An estimated 17,649,000 television households tuned in that night, an audience figure comparable to what the series was drawing at the peak of its popularity in 1975. The film scored particularly well with older viewers.

There will never be another series as great as Rockford. A TV series getting viewership up until the 1980’s in the 10+ million range, amazing, and Charlie’s Angels got 30 million back then – today, a popular cable series is happy with 1 million and few ever reach double million digits, only some of the Top Ten. And this when the US population is now is much higher, 50% over 1975.
I have the first 2 editions of your guide to the show, the “Bible” as I call it, and will look to get the recent edition soon – always need to have an untattered copy. I keep them by my bed and actually read the episode synopsis to go to sleep with, pleasant dreams!
Cheers!
Thank you, Dan… I am honored to hear that my book has a treasured spot on your nightstand.
🙂
Stay healthy and safe,
