Maverick The Complete Fourth Season Back to Back 2 Pack

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.

I have the complete series

Maverick Season 4 -- coming soon. I ordered this right away as I cant get enough of the Mavericks. Cant wait to view this DVD.

Season four starts with Roger Moore added as cousin Beau. This season James Garner exited from the show. Also Robert Colbert was added as another Maverick brother Brent. These changes helped some what but you could see that the series was slated to be cancelled. The plots and acting made this season hold its own with the Nielsen ratings. Add this one to your collection.

Season 1 & 2 were subtitled. Needed that as sound systems dont handle ear aids well. Returned Season 4 and kept season 3 (no subtitle there) as I had opened it. Disappointing that a company doesnt think beyond the bottom line.

One of my favorite TV westerns!!

Okay it is expensive, but i wanted to see roger moore in this series as he is one of my favorite actors and now i have watched some of the episodes i am pleased i purchsed it. picture and sound quality is excellent as in series 1&2. when you want something bad enough you will pay the price, this is why i have not purchsed series 3 i will wait until the price comes down.I do not want it bad enough to pay that price.

The stories were good.

James garner was always great in the role but Jack kelly also kept it entertaining and humorous.

Problems with second volume mad this less than perfect
