 Of course, Maverick was the iconic Western created by Roy Huggins that brought humor to the Western genre while changing the way in which you and I saw a hero on television behave. Maverick not only made James Garner a star, it was the first example, in this case Roy Huggins, of a writer writing material that played to Garner's strength. I interviewed Roy Huggins many times for my books on the Rockford Files and Maverick.
