Maverick is a comedy-western television series created by Roy Huggins that ran from September 22, 1957 to July 8, 1962 on ABC. The series starred James Garner as Bret Maverick, a wise-cracking gambler, and Jack Kelly as his brother Bart. (Toward the end of the series, Roger Moore had a recurring role as their English cousin Beau.)
Spin offs
The series had a number of spin-offs:

- Bret Maverick (1981-82), another revival starring Garner as an older-but-no-wiser Bret Maverick
