TEXTE AUF SEINEN ANRUFBEANTWORTER

"Hier Jim Rockford, bitte Ihren Namen, ihre Nummer und ihre Nachricht - ich rufe zurück"

Mit diesen Spruch hat Jim Rockford seinen Anrufbeantworter bestückt und in jeder Folge ruft jemand mit einer meist lustigen und / oder ironischen Anfrage oder Mitteilung an, was immer schon für den ersten Schmuzler oder Lacher der Episode beginnt.

Hier sind alle Ansagetexte aus allen Folgen auf einen Blick - allerdings in englisch:

001	1974-03-27	"The Rockford Files" - 90 minute pilot (Later re-edited for syndication into two one hour episodes, entitled "Backlash of the Hunter" (Parts 1 & 2).)	"Billings. LAPD. You know Thursday is Chapman's 20th year, and we're giving a little surprise party at the Captain's. I think you should come. By the way, we need five bucks for the present." (This message also appears in an episode in Season 6. Since the character of Lt. Chapman didn't appear until Season 3, it is likely that the message was original to the Season 6 episode and added on later to the syndicated version of the pilot).
