great scripting can't really rescue a run-of-the-mill plot, whereas a great plot can overcome weaker dialogue.
======================================================
That is probably the case. I'm a big fan of The Rockford Files, and I saw separate interviews with co-creator Stephen Cannell and James Garner where they said that through the life of the show they had maybe 3 or 4 episodes where the plot just didn't come together, and even Garner found it hard to compensate even with the script / dialogue (mainly because Garner repsected writers and didn't like changing lines as it could be to the detriment of the show).
