I've been keeping an eye on news of this for a while now.

David Boreanaz will be Jim Rockford. Supposed to start sometime in January. Haven't seen much more useful yet but have seen a cropped pic of Boreanaz in what looks like the Firebird.

My wife is a "Bones" addict, just finished watching the whole series through for the 4th or 5th time so I'm kinda familiar with his acting, I think he can pull it off.
