The Rockford Files
Just a Coupla Guys
Season 6, Episode 11 · Aired 1979-12-14
Synopsis
This episode features none of the supporting characters and Rockford appears in only a few scenes. The episode is mainly a chance for David Chase to write about New Jersey mobsters. Except this episode isn't anything like "The Sopranos". The biggest problem is that the two protagonists (the "Coupla Guys" in the title) aren't very interesting characters.
