 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, Jack Kelly, Roger Moore, and Robert Colbert as the poker-playing traveling Mavericks (Bret, Bart, Beau, 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).
Which Maverick brother happened to be the older was purposely left ambiguous, with both Bret and Bart emphatically claiming to be the younger whenever the topic came up in conversation with a woman, but Jack Kelly was a year older than James Garner in life.

 Handbook of Texas Online:
Residents soon were referring to any unbranded cow as "one of Maverick's." In 1854 Maverick was approached about his wandering cattle and sent two sons and some hired men to move what cattle they could find to his San Antonio ranch.
In 1856 Maverick sold his cattle and brand to A. Toutant Beauregard, a brother of Confederate general Pierre G. Beauregard, on range delivery, which meant the purchasers had to hunt for the cattle on the open range.
The Eleventh Texas Legislature passed a law against driving another person's livestock from its accustomed range and theoretically outlawed mavericking, but the practice was not generally considered theft until the late 1880s, after open-range ranching gradually came to an end, and cattle ranchers began acquiring grazing land and fencing their property.
