Rockford Files Now Dead at NBC. The classic PI series, which only a month ago appeared as a sure thing this pilot season with House creator David Shore as writer and Steve Carell as producer, has been canceled. First signs of trouble came in the casting stage when it took a long time to cast the lead played by James Garner on the original series. Feedback from the audition of Dermot Mulroney, who has strong improv background, was great, and the pilot, which co-starred Alan Tudyk and Beau Bridges, went underway with Michael Watkins at the helm. Nevertheless, it's out for now.
