Freedom Of Syndicated TV Reruns
Loved this quote -- especially because of the sources (the actor and the particular show).
"Everyone gets to work their mouth; that's the American way." --Abe Vigoda on "The Rockford Files"
Gregg has been watching "The Rockford Files" episodes while scanning thousands of documents for a project he's doing for Elmore. He has a real soft spot for old TV and just quoted this when I came out (of the cafe where I'm writing) and got on the phone with him.
I know this episode. The Rockford Files is my favorite television show.

I don't remember him on The Rockford Files, I do remember him from Barney Miller.

I loved Abe on Barney Miller. I learned how to give people "The Look" from him, you know, the one that says "Did you really just say the stupid thing I can't believe you just said?" look.

That show kicked off the career of Mike Post, who did the theme song. He's since done themes for a bunch of shows, including the Law and Order variants. But the Rockford Files theme is still one of his best.
