- Quotes
Little Beaver: [Rocky is on the CB radio at the new diner he and his friend Vince Whitehead have just opened] Breaker, breaker, this is Little Beaver. Come on!
Joseph 'Rocky' Rockford #2: That's a big ten-four Little Beaver. What's your twenty coming to Rocky's Summit? Say, have you put on the feedbag yet? We're slinging hash and pumping gas, come back!
Little Beaver: That's negatory, good buddy! I had me some steak on the grill five miles north. So I've got the pedal to the metal trying to pick up time. Maybe next trip! This is Little Beaver with a big ten-four!
Jim Rockford: I thought you said this was the only diner for ten miles north or south.
Joseph 'Rocky' Rockford #2: It is.
Jim Rockford: Well he said he'd already eaten! He had a steak on the grill five miles back!
Joseph 'Rocky' Rockford #2: That guy meant he ran into a cow. He don't have no time to stop. He's got the hammer down and he's making up time.

I really enjoyed your review. And having seen some of these episodes first run - I just wanted to make this comment: the old detective living on dog food is a reference to many, many stories throughout the 70's about elderly people on Soc. Sec. having to live on dog food to make ends meet, as it was cheap. They make a mention of the detective not being left with much. It also is why dog and cat food are mandated to be "human-grade".
I mention this, as one of the things that I love about these old shows is, they aren't just entertaining, they can also be a real time-capsule of the social and economic issues of the time.
Anyway - you provided a great review and you were completely correct about the ending, with the "old-geezers" partaking their knowledge on the young guys - it really made the episode.
