Maverick TV intro (1957)

Brett and Bart Maverick (and in later seasons, their English cousin, Bo) are well dressed gamblers who migrate from town to town always looking for a good game. Poker (5 card draw) is their favorite but they've been known to play such odd card games as Three-toed Sloth on occasion.

The song goes, more or less: Who is the tall dark stranger there? Maverick is the name. On the trail to who knows where, luck is his companion, gambling is his game. (Chorus.) Smooth as the handle on a gun, Maverick is the name, Wild as the wind in Oregon, blowing up a canyon, easier to tame.

(Chorus): River boat ring your bell, fare thee well annabel, luck is the lady that he loves the best/Jackson, new Orleans, living on Jacks and Queens, Maverick is the legend of the West.

Dear MJJC,"Bret Maverick"was seen in the early 1980's..not the late 1970's on NBC TV. You're thinking of "The New Maverick"which starred Charles Franks as "Ben Maverick" and aired..very briefly on CBS TV in the late 1970's.

I've seen many of the episodes recently and most of those from the 1st two seasons, when Roy Huggins was writing/producing, remain hands down the best television series episodes ever filmed anywhere. They not only hold up, they stun the viewer with how comprehensively entertaining and masterfully acted, written, and photographed they are. None of the other Warner Bros. western series from the same time are watchable today but the Mavericks from the 1st two seasons are absolutely electrifying.

@cmulwee001 He got hooked up with some woman from Alaska and it was all downhill from there.

@saunders49

Who's John McCain?

@fromthesidelines Wow . . . someone other than me remembers Kaiser Aluminum. They went into cable TV in its infancy (Kaiser-Globe Broadcasting), and in 1971 Edgar Kaiser used that influence to get Nixon to enact the legislation that gave us HMOs (Kaiser Permanente). Pretty good for a guy who started out in junk metals.

In the words of Bret Maverick: "My old pappy used to say, "Hard work never hurt anybody . . . who didn't do it." Or: "Son, you can fool all of the people some of the time, and some of the people all of the time . . . and those are pretty good odds."

@melollylolly AYYYYYMEN. When it comes to Maverick, Mel Columbcille Gerard Gibson is NO match for James Bumgarner---James Garner to you.

Ross Martin was a consummate actor and Robert Conrad is the ultimate symbol of male beauty. There is no flaw in his physique, visage, expression, smile, movement or anything else. What a masterpiece of God's hand!!! I hate that Loveless character too. I think he ruins the series because there are too many episodes with him. Those episodes are disgustingly childish.
