Leans Traditional
Primary
The show balances its critique of powerful elites and flawed institutions with an emphasis on individual initiative and pragmatic justice, avoiding explicit promotion of either progressive or conservative ideologies.
The series features a predominantly white main cast, consistent with traditional casting practices of its production era. Its narrative primarily focuses on individual crime-solving without explicitly critiquing or negatively portraying traditional identities, and DEI themes are not central to its storytelling.
Secondary
The Rockford Files includes a transsexual character, Evelyn, in the episode "The Man Who Saw the Alligators." Her identity is acknowledged as she becomes a witness to a crime. The protagonist treats her with respect and concern, avoiding negative stereotypes prevalent at the time. The portrayal is largely factual and avoids strong positive or negative arcs, focusing on her role in the plot.
The Rockford Files, a detective series from the 1970s, does not include any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or explore related themes.

The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The Rockford Files (1974) is the original series, not an adaptation or reboot of prior material. All characters introduced in this production establish their canonical gender for the first time, thus precluding any gender swaps according to the definition.
