Bad or Strange Episodes
Backlash of the Hunter was a two-part episode that seems like it was stretched from a one-part episode for some reason. It contains several strange driving sequences that have little to do with the plot. It was a very early episode and may well have been the pilot. Perhaps some backroom decision was made to stretch a pilot episode into two parts? In any event, it is worth seeing just to see what you think of the way they "stretched" it out. Here is a website that claims it was the pilot: http://www.thesandbox.net/arm/rockford/ ... w_001.html
Love is the Word - IMO a terrible episode. Strangely, it was written by David Chase. Towards the end, it contains a long rambling monologue by the lead female that doesn't make much sense. It seemed to me that the two lead characters have a lengthy conversation near the end of the epi where it is really two unrelated soliloquies forced into a dialog. I got the feeling that this may have been a half-hour episode with an extra half-hour added on somehow. There is some action for the first part of the episode. But the second part is just a long rambling dialog that is seemingly unconnected to the first part. Oh well, maybe my opinion is flawed. You should see it and judge for yourself. Perhaps DC was in the throws of a rocky breakup when he wrote this episode? Or perhaps it had something to do with the fact this was very near to the last epi of the show and maybe he wasn't happy with the way things were ending. After all, it is well known the show ended with some very unpleasant lawsuits (James Garner had to sue the suits to get his money).
