As most of you are aware by now, my grandfather died on the evening between December 21st and December 22nd of 2008. It was a mixed blessing for sure in that my grandfather had a number of very critical health problems, the most serious being lung cancer (and what eventually led to his early demise).

I wanted to find my own way of "paying tribute" to my grandfather, my own way in addition to all of the standard routines you go through when you mourn someone's death, or the loss of anything/anyone that you were close to, it doesn't always need to be a death to justify mourning, or rather to cause the body/mind to go through the natural mourning process.

While I was sitting around thinking about how I would pay tribute to such a wonderful and accomplished person, I came across a television series on hulu.com that my grandfather loved. In fact, I spent a number of hours in my childhood with my grandfather, watching some of his favorite shows like "Sanford and Son," "M*A*S*H," "Bewitched" but the only show I ever saw him stop what he was doing in order to watch it when it came on was "The Rockford Files" with James Garner as Jim Rockford.

I haven't looked for any of the other shows on Hulu, but you can find "The Rockford Files" on Hulu right here.

So, in tribute to my grandfather, I have been watching every episode that they have available on Hulu. The have the first three seasons, which all have a fair number of episodes to them.

The awesome retro lingo alone makes it worthwhile. 8^)
