BrianS81177 Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 My Fellow Americans is still one of the funniest movies I've ever seen. It's very depressing that they're both gone now.

piranesi Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Man called Sledge was my favorite. I'm DVRing this for tomorrow. It's on Encore Western at like 3:00 a.m.m if you have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piranesi Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Some of my earliest memories are of my dad watching the Rockford Files. I remember my grandpa messing with me by telling me that Barnaby Jones was Rockford's dad. I was super pissed because I was pretty sure it wasn't true but there was no way to prove it.

You could have just watched the Rockford Files, since his father was a regular character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piranesi Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Yeah. But that guy looked a lot like Buddy Ebsen. Just enough to throw me off. It didn't help that in that picture of him sitting on the table during the opening credits, he was dressed like Jed Clampett. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimLivingston Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 I'm one of the six people who liked Space Cowboys and totally forgot he was in it. He was very understated. It was awesome seeing him and Clint in a movie together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Execproducer Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Marlowe is a criminally underrated movie. Rockford Files is possibly the best PI show ever made (I think only Magnum comes close). Hell I even liked Garner in Space Cowboys! James The Bruce Lee part alone makes Marlowe a must-see. Also a fan of Rockford and Support Your Local Gunfighter. Haven't seen them in years, but I really liked Tank and Murphy's Romance when they came out. Pretty much all of his 60's work is worth the time invested in viewing.

I suppose if you squinted really hard and assumed Buddy shrank dramatically with age, you might confuse the two. Well, until Noah started to speak, anyway.

piranesi Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 I was 8. I was also pretty sure the two dudes from EMERGENCY! were reformed, later-in-life versions of the DUKES OF HAZARD. Exhibit A: If you were 8 and your Gramps told you that was Barnaby Jones, you'd have some sleepless nights trying to map the universe, buddy. Remember that in the pre-internet era Grampa was the closest thing we had to IMDB. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Garner's statue in his hometown of Norman, OK. In other news, James Garner was from Norman, OK and had an awesomely jaunty statue cast in his honor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
