I really believe that Warner would have no problem at all "garnering" interest in -- at least -- the first four seasons of Maverick. The first three prominently feature James Garner; and I think Roger Moore shows up in 15 episodes in Season Four.

Of all the Western series that were produced in the late fifties / early sixties, this is the one that holds up the best. It had "Sting" episodes *before* the Sting. It satirized other popular series of the day *way* before "Moonlighting" made that popular. And it still found time for some "hard core" Western stories.

With the enduring popularity of James Garner and Roger Moore; and the sturdy work from the affable Jack Kelly -- all combined with the attributes mentioned above -- it's more than baffling that this series is not available on DVD!
