The following is an episode list for ABC's 1957 comedy-western television series, Maverick, created by Roy Huggins and starring James Garner, Jack Kelly, Roger Moore, and Robert Colbert as Bret, Bart, Beau, and Brent Maverick respectively. Unusually for an American television program, Maverick's main cast varied episodically between Garner, Kelly, Moore or Colbert. As such, the starring cast for each episode is listed below alongside other details. Most episodes feature only one of the lead characters named Maverick and never more than two.
Also, Kathleen Crowley appears in eight episodes, a series record for leading ladies: "The Jeweled Gun" with Jack Kelly, "Maverick Springs" with James Garner and Kelly, "The Misfortune Teller" with Garner, "A Bullet for the Teacher" with Roger Moore, "Kiz" with Moore, and "Dade City Dodge", "The Troubled Heir", and "One of Our Trains Is Missing" with Kelly.
Ben Gage delivers Marshal Matt Dillon parodies in four different episodes, playing sheriffs with different names but always looking and sounding like James Arness in Gunsmoke while delivering comedic lines.
James Garner (as Bret Maverick) is the sole star for the first seven episodes. With episode eight, he's joined by Jack Kelly as brother Bart Maverick. From that point on, the two alternate leads from week to week, sometimes teaming up for the occasional episode. Recurring characters include rival gamblers/operators Samantha Crawford, Dandy Jim Buckley and Big Mike McComb. The entire first season was released by Warner Bros. on DVD in mid-2012.
