Fifty-Year Anniversary of TV's Best Western
This DVD must have been set out by Warner Bros as a trial run to test the waters for a complete-series release. The episodes on this DVD are some of the series' best, and the picture quality is top-notch.

>It's hard to believe but, for those of us who grew up in the 1950s, television westerns (good and bad) were a monotonous staple that could not be avoided -- the number of shows that plied the airwaves in those days simply defies belief. Sure, they all used the same formula -- drifting, melancholy cowboys who occasionally got into trouble but were essentially free, unencumbered and happy. But Maverick was the best of the lot. More often likely to run away from a gunfight than risk injury, the Maverick brothers combined humor and drama in a truly innovative way for the times, and this DVD represents a great sampling of the show. <
