The Televerse #494- Spotlight on The Rockford Files

Then we talk comedy, looking at Superstore and The Amber Ruffin Show, before checking in with RuPaul’s Drag Race and closing out the week’s TV with genre, Black Lightning and WandaVision. Afterward, we head to the DVD Shelf and catch up with the ’70s PI series The Rockford Files, diving in with the many flavors of the show and its particular charms, and occasional dated drawbacks.
