NBC really has lost it's way, hasn't it?
My whole life, I've never loved anything else.

They sound like me, cheering myself through reruns. Only I don't consider it working. You know?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Man, that article someone linked to back in the day about Jim Rockford suggestions totally had better ideas. But most of them have gigs.
Dermot--I have fond thoughts about him, but I think it's because he reminds me of someone IRL. I can't imagine him carrying a series.

I don't dislike the guy, but he's sort of Generic Handsome Guy...Jim Rockford is a wiseass. Also, Rockford itself was kind of a copy/update of Maverick. How many copies? Also, I'd have thought since Knight Rider and Bionic Woman tanked, nobody would try that anymore.

Jim Rockford is kinda unthinkable without Garner. I just can't get past that.

Me either, not really...hence all the conditionals. Nor Angel without Margolin, in all his love-to-hate-him glory. ETA: Besides there was already one "Rockford" homage on TV recently...it was called "Veronica Mars"

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
At least it's not Dylan McDermott, which is who I pictured first.

I cannot stand Dermot Mulroney. Full stop. He cannot stand in the footsteps of Garner.
I think there are actors who can, but Mulroney ain't it.

Jesse, aren't they the same person? Which I think is the real problem with this choice.
