Don't forget his role in "Support Your Local Sheriff". He was hilarious in that one.

Broadcast tv is still free. Just put up an antenna. Most people are shocked when they see it that way, think you need cable or satellite.

I dumped cable a couple of years ago, stuck an antenna on my tower and I get about 70 channels. I added a Roku box with Hulu, Netflix and Amazon Prime. I don't miss cable at all.

Nope. Not gonna do that this time. I found out about James Garner passing yesterday and the end of a Rockford Files episode. He will truly be missed. I have Space Cowboys on DVD that he,Clint Eastwood,Donald Sutherland,and Tommy Lee Jones starred in. There's a funny part where James spots Tommy Lee at the weightlifting bench. Check it out.

It was one of the most successful ad campaigns of all time. James Garner teamed up with actress Mariette Hartley to promote Polaroid cameras in the 1970's and 80's. They made such a convincing couple that many people thought they actually were husband and wife.

Hartley told INSIDE EDITION, I felt the chemistry with Jimmy immediately. He was very giving, he was very funny. He had been doing the commercials for a while, he got it."

Mariette Hartley even had a T-shirt printed that read "I Am Not Mrs. James Garner."

She said, "I finally did the T-shirt because if one more person came up to me and said, 'I know you are married, aren't you?' There was even a cartoon in The New York Times, two people watching television saying, 'I think they are married.'"
