It covers the series and the later TVMs. I'm pretty sure it covers the disputes with Universal as well over payments and scripts. I can't remember the title... It's on my shelf at home. <br /><br />I read that about NIGHT STALKER as well. I think it was a combination of lack of enthusiasm from the Star, soft ratings and high shooting costs that killed it. Plus it was a format that wasn't really suited to a weekly series set in one city. Although BUFFY seemed to pull off a similar premise OK. They probably should have stuck with occasional teleflicks, possibly as a spoke in a movie-of-the-wheel.

Ah ye...Indeed slow and a noble mission it is ! <br /><br />Ah yes, I must check my copies of FANTASTIC FILMS. As to why the Rockford Files ended, the answer is simple - James Garner didn't want to continue as he was exhausted by that point. I read his auto-biography recently and he doesn't mince words, claiming that he punched Glen Larson for stealing a script from Rockford. I also recall Darren McGavin telling a journalist that he killed KOLCHAK : THE NIGHT STALKER as he was fed up with night shoots.<br /><br />edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13633073283427830809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6024401572816020459.post-70574024655544901742015-11-06T08:08:31.058+00:002015-11-06T08:08:31.058+00:00Which makes the STARLOGGED mission to unearth the ...Which makes the STARLOGGED mission to unearth the obscure, along with the mainstream, of the Star Age so vital.
