| | Maverick (TV series) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Maverick is a comedy-western television series created by Roy Huggins that ran from September 22, 1957 to July 8, 1962 on ABC and featured James Garner, Roger Moore, Jack Kelly and Robert Colbert as the poker-playing traveling Mavericks (Bret, Beau, Bart and Brent). |
 | | Maverick bucked the trend by not being a particularly fast draw with a pistol, but like all TV cowboy heroes of the era, he was almost superhumanly impossible for anyone to beat in any sort of a fistfight (perhaps the one cowboy cliché that Huggins left intact, reportedly at the insistence of the studio). |
 | | Among many other TV roles, Diane Brewster (Samantha Crawford) subsequently portrayed the schoolteacher Miss Canfield on the 1957 series Leave It to Beaver and Helen Kimble in brief appearances on the original television version of The Fugitive (as a favor to Roy Huggins), dying in 1991. |
