I almost picked up the first season yesterday but--I got Rawhide instead. Also, back in 81, I visited Fort Courage. It was not complete when they used it in the series and most of it is till there-or was when we breezed through on our way to Victorville California.

Oops, what I was meaning was that F Troop was made in Huachuaua Arizona, but that the Roy Rogers Museum was in Victorville, Calif ;-)) Sorry if I didnt post it easier. Oh and--Fort Courage still looks like today, what it looked like in 81. A friend fo mine on another site showed me some photos he took--which was when they visited it last year sometime--and still looked as I remembered. I THINK I still have a bumper sticker I bought there that said "Home of "F" Troop" Fort Courage, Arizona.
The first episode of Maverick, i'm a huge James Garner fan and really think this show might be exactly what i'm looking for. Will take a lot of work to keep the future episode quality up to this one. Bit apprehensive about when Jack Kelly joins the show aswell.

From what I've seen so far, Jack Kelly performs admirably.
I like the character of Bret Maverick better also but have to admit that old Bart stars in some very good episodes.
Watched Skin Game with James Garner who i'm really growing to love, it's from 1971 and I think there were few better around than him at this time. Was a comedy Western about conmen and slavery, was very Maverick esque so it suited Garner well and was enjoyable and funny, he made some great comedy Westerns around this period.

Watched the 2nd episode of Maverick, was very good and Garner was hugely entertaining as always, they have just the right mix of comedy and serious action so it doesn't drift too far too one side. These kind of remind me of Duke's early B Westerns in that the story is fairly predictable, good guy, love interest and a some bad guy/business in a town but I enjoy them all the same, perfect for when you don't feel like watching a whole movie. Read lately that Garner's health is really poor and he hasn't long left, he's 85 but it will still be shame to lose him.
This evening I watched this episode of "Maverick" which was the first time Roger Moore appeared in the series.
Old Roger looked like he was about 18 years old (he was actually about 30) but as usual, turned in a great performance.
Roger Moore has always been one of my favorite performers; he was even one of my favorite Bonds.

Believe it or not, Irish, but back in the Thirties, when Garner was a young boy, he used to come by my great-grandmother's house in Norman, Oklahoma on Halloween Trick-or-Treating. He and his family lived just a few blocks from where my great grandparents lived.
Roger Moore is my favourite Bond look forward to see him popping up in Maverick. I do believe it Stumpy and that's a great story, thanks for sharing!
Saw 'Adios Sabata' and 'A Bullet For Sandoval' last week! Not that good! A few weeks before I saw 'Red Sun', this was better.

This evening I watched a Season 2 episode of "Maverick" which featured old "Make My Day" Clint.
What was weird was the credits segment showing the players' names. Clint was 5th or 6th down the list. Bet that doesn't happen much anymore.
"Cowboys and Aliens" - a better movie than the critics would have you think. Harrison Ford and Daniel Craig and a lot of character actors.
Big fan of Garner here. I also suggest--besides The Great Escape--but: 36 Hours, Darbys Rangers, Duel At Diablo, Tank and Murphy's Romance. And I hate--99% of all romance movies.

Ditto on that for me too. I love Connery but-_Roger Moore seems to put more into his Bonds. I grew up watching both every time they came on.
Will have a look at those Garner movies Ringo thanks for the suggestions. Gave stagecoach another watch last night, one of Duke and Ford's best.
