@dale it's just so good and evocative of a time in my childhood. I don't actually remember episodes, just the theme.

My dad liked to watch Rockford and I remember getting excited hearing the theme coming from the living room. I probably tried to watch and it was over my head.

Speaking of Hardcore, there was a storyline in the last season of The Deuce that seemed to play off that premise.
