Featured review
Blown Her Way to Stardom???
This actress who played 'Houston' must have blown her way into the pictures... She has NO talent whatsoever, to the degree that her "Acting" in this episode completely ruins it. She must certainly have had 'known' someone (in the biblical sense) in order to "earn" her way onto the series. Makes me want to spit (although I bet Lane Bradbury had no such impediments to her "stardom")...
Remainder is a pasted review with which I agree, to satisfy IMDB's stupid character requirement_/
I absolutely LOVE The Rockford Files,the whole series. There are very few weak or bad episodes. This,unfortunately,is one of those episodes. Why? The woman that played the 'Houston' character,that is why. I guarantee that somebody lost a major bet,or owed somebody-big time. That is the only explanation for the casting of the 'Houston' character that I have managed to come up with. This woman looks and acts like she is about to undergo a root-canal,in Tijuana! I mean,this has to be one of the worst-cast characters of the whole series. Why? No spark. No enthusiasm,no warmth whatsoever from this unhappy lady. She seems miffed or put-off just by being on the show-like she was interrupted from doing something much more important. You would think that anybody that got to be on the show would have trouble hiding an ear-to-ear grin the whole time. I know I would,anyway. This unhappy woman drags down the whole episode.
