Premise: A `Maverick' sequel (some 20 years later) about brothers Bret and Bart's younger cousin Ben, a suave gambler with a Harvard degree. `Young Maverick' lacked the wry tone of the classic 1950s Western, nor did it have James Garner after the first episode (in which he made a brief appearance), and it lasted less than two months.
