Today in Movie & TV History

This is a show that i never watched during its original airing, but started watching during pandemic , for reasons inexplicable to me, and now have probably seen every episode 3 or 4 times.. it‘s a truly terrible show, with atrocious acting and writing that is even worse- but it’s also great escapism and nostalgia, and i like having it on in the background while i catch up on work or while i sheetpost on SR .
I do the same with Rockford files. Never watched it when it aired. But if it happens to be on GET channel on YouTube TV I'm watching it. James Garner has an interesting story. Dropped out of high school and became a merchant marine. Then came home and joined the Marines and fought in Korea. Movies and TV was his third act?
