Here's all you need to know about the upcoming "Rockford Files" remake from the folks at Never Be Creative, aka NBC:
Original "Rockford Files": James Garner as Rockford.
New "Rockford Files": Dermot Mulroney as Rockford.
Original: One of the most charismatic actors in TV history creates an iconic character.
New: NBC builds a revamp around a guy whose main claim to fame is sometimes being distinguishable from Dylan McDermott.
This looks like another ill-fated idea from the House of Bad Ideas. Why bother doing a remake in the first place? NBC tried to shove "reboots" of "Knight Rider" and "Bionic Woman" at us and met resounding indifference, but this is an even worse idea: redoing a show most fondly remembered for its lead actor with...Dermot Mulroney (Sorry, Dermotaholics, but taking on this role does him no favors).
What's next, NBC, luring Louie Anderson for a remake of "Cannon"?
