  "Maverick" is an American Western television series starring James Garner as Bret Maverick, and later Jack Kelly as his brother Bart Maverick. The show is known for its lighthearted and humorous approach to the Western genre, featuring two brothers who are professional poker players traveling throughout the American West in search of high-stakes games. What sets "Maverick" apart from other Western shows of its time is its emphasis on wit and charm, as Bret and Bart often try to outsmart their opponents rather than resorting to violence. Did you know that the show was so popular that James Garner left after a dispute with Warner Bros. over his salary?
