Rockford is on all lists except 1.

 

[Cardinals.Ken]

Rockford is on all lists except 1.

Every time I catch that show, it makes me pine for the days when an ex-con could afford to live in a travel trailer on the beach, and gain almost unlimited access to any building or business with nothing more than a business card machine.

"You need a hammer Rockfish!"

lol

I've never watched it, but I've heard great things about "Monk." Surprised it's not mentioned in this thread.
