Two gambler brothers were the roguish antiheroes in this Emmy-winning tongue-in-cheek classic, which made James Garner a star. The genial 'Maverick' broke the mold of traditional shoot-'em-ups, with siblings who would much rather draw cards than their guns. The series worked as a traditional Western, but the best episodes were those that spoofed contemporary shows like 'Gunsmoke,' 'Bonanza' and even 'Dragnet.' Garner reprised the character 20 years later in the short-lived 'Bret Maverick.'
