Regular shows:

Maverick (Sept. 1957 - Apr. 1962, 124 episodes)

     Warner Bros. studios added Maverick to its already-long line of Western TV shows in 1957. But Maverick is different than all the other Westerns from that era; it is parody on them, sometimes even mocking specific shows.
     Today, most people associate James Garner (who played Bret Maverick) with this series, but he actually was in fewer episodes than Jack Kelly (who played Bart Maverick). Bret and Bart were brothers, but an episode usually just featured one at a time.
     When Garner took a "break" from the series (from Warner Bros.) Roger Moore filled the gap he left with a new character: cousin Beau Maverick. He appeared in fewer than 20 episodes. 
     Later, yet another Maverick was added---but only for three episodes. Robert Colbert's Brent Maverick was short-lived.     



Kings Row (1955 - 1956, 7 episodes)

     Kings Row was a fleeting Warner Bros, program based off of the 1942 film of the same name, which starred Robert Cummings and Ronald Reagan.
     The series had Jack Kelly reprising Cumming's role, and Robert Horton in Reagan's role.
