I recorded the first dozen Maverick shows and have been watching them the last couple of days. They are of extraordinary high quality considering they were filmed in 1957.

I used to like him until he came out as an America-hater.

I recall hearing a story from him or reading it somewhere, during his tour in the Korean war his unit was over run. He had a South Korean soldier (KATUSA) put on a North Korean uniform and marched him at gunpoint away to safety. I may have heard the story on Johnny Carson, but I can’t find any reference to it.

I guess it is possible to like someone and hate their politics. Of course I didn’t know him personally but I did like his characters.

His liberalism did come through just a little bit or it might have been the writers etc. Anyway “Rockford Files” was a good show although I doubt very seriously that Rockford kept any files on his cases.

Where is ‘Support Your Local Sheriff’? Not to mention ‘The Great Escape’.

A good career!

What - no The Great Escape? Yes, it's an ensemble piece but.... Anyway, I watched it on DVD last night.
