Who is the tall dark stranger there, Maverick is his name

Our Sunday night favorite show in the early years. We all waited to see if it would be Bret that week, and we cheered that it was. If Jack or Roger, well sometimes we watched and sometimes we didn't.

Exactly!

Same story in my house growing up.

I completely forgot that Roger Moore played “Beau” Maverick.

So sad. He seemed like such nice man. Seem to remember he suffered from terrible back pain and had to wear a brace.

He will always be remembered for Maverick and the Rockford Files but my favorite character was seen in Victor/Victoria. Good movie! At 86 he had a long and fruitful life. RIP, sir.

One of their best episodes was the parody of Gunsmoke. Way ahead of its time.
