I can still remember the Sunday night when my family, not quite knowing what to expect--and after a month or so of ABC ballyhoo--watched the first Maverick with true delight. We gathered every Sunday night thereafter and James Garner became a legend in our house. Thanks for your tremendous posts.

Though if my memory is right, this might be before I stumble on Ross Macdonald in my teen years. Anyway, watching those Rockford Files now, older and no more wiser, and seeing Garner handle the character -- a real, flawed cat who didn't rush into danger but stood up for the little guy -- I've come to appreciate them much more.Gary Phillipshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09122103460432424026noreply@blogger.com
