This is one of the episodes on my list of episodes that I put on frequently whenever I'm a little bit busy or working at my desk and I just need company. When I look up, I immediately know where it is in the show and what's going on. William Daniels is amazing and he is also in a future episode where he is equally smarmy. I think in the end when Jim gets screwed out of the recovery, it was their theme of Jim always getting screwed out of the bonuses and recoveries. So it just made for a little bit more humorous ending if the insurance company blamed Jim for the destruction of the originals because he was the purchaser. I totally get what you're saying. Anyway, great review. Again, I can't tell you how it pleases me that you love all the episodes that I do, mostly. 😜
This is in my top 5 Rockford episodes. I think the story (and screenplay) is brilliant. Drama, mystery, with humour over the smashing of priceless bird sculptures. This is also my favourite William Daniels role. He's absolutely brilliant here, as one believes he is the person that he's playing. Obviously this isn't one of his big claims to fame... but it's still my favourite role. He plays a brilliant ass in Rockford's "So Help Me God"... but it still doesn't compare to his work in this one.
Well done! Thank you! 👍

But the sculpture is clearly a crane not comerant.
