Rockford Files

Ontario lawyer David Shore, who created House for Universal, is now going to develop a show for Universal’s sister network NBC — a remake of The Rockford Files.

There was some doubt as to whether Universal was ever going to release the sixth and final season of The Rockford Files on DVD, but they’re finally going to bring it out early next year. This season was only 13 episodes; James Garner had to stop production on the show due to poor health — brought on in part by the exhaustion of doing such a demanding show — and NBC decided to cancel it rather than wait for him to come back.
