Maverick The Complete Fourth Season Back to Back 2 Pack

Love the show!

As many reviewers have stated, James Garner was Maverick. Even though seasons four and five are worth watching, I feel the series was all about James Garner. Without him the show wasnt nearly as good.

The Mavericks have a few things in common with James Bond: both take card games seriously and both enjoy the company of women. The Mavericks, as a rule, dont like to fight, and certainly would not accept any damn license to kill. Most times, the personalities of the Mavericks are laid back, and that suits Roger Moore fine. Hes certainly believable as a Maverick, except for the fact that no one has made mention of him in the previous three years, which takes getting used to, and is now os the prime center of attention whenever Bart refers to a relative. Its as if he forgot he had a brother named Bret. It should be noted before I charge into the individual episodes of the fourth season, that with Moore or without, Maverick always had a formidable goal to try to achieve. The challenge that Maverick had to meet week after week is: How to be Maverick? Even with James Garner, it was not easy living up to the unique tone and spirit of Maverick. Theres much more in my full review of the 4th year of Maverick in the new Riding Shotgun column on Comicsbulletin.com, including many photos, including sequential sequences. Even some photos of Edd Byrnes and 77 Cherokee Strip. For Maverick fans, fans thinking of buying this set, and for those interested in reading some tidbits about what was happening behind the scenes.

GOOD

The stories were good.

I liked James Garner better than Roger Moore in the series. He was the best of the three Maverick. I would recommend it to all.

I enjoyed watching these movies very much

Disappointed in this series. They tried to make westerns comedy and it failed.

James Garner is Maverick. Without him the show just isnt the same. Apparently Warner Brothers hoped Roger Moore would be James Garner with a British accent but it didnt work out that way. I have all 4 seasons of Maverick and the first 3 seasons with Garner are the best. Once he left the show it declined noticeably. In fact the stories became silly and boring. Jack Kelly is good but what made the show work was the contrast between Bret (Garner) and Bart (Kelly). Having a British cousin (Moore) suddenly show up out of nowhere in season 4 and be expected to carry half the episodes, which he doesnt do very well, is a big disappointment. And then Moore left after only half of one seasons episodes and didnt return for season 5, which was the final one. It only ran half the season before it was cancelled. The fact that the show could carry on for only one & a half seasons after Garner left tells us all we need to know. As I said James Garner is Maverick. Without him the show isnt really worth watching anymore. I dont expect to add season 5 to my collection.

Prompt I’m very happy
