Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIf there is anyone who should be grateful for this episode it's probably Tom Selleck. Roy Huggins frequently borrowed from Maverick when he later produced the memorable The Rockford Files (1974), which also starred James Garner. In an interview discussing his career, Huggins said that he borrowed the character Waco Williams from this for the creation of the Lance White character used on Rockford, which was played by Selleck. It was the response to his portrayal of Lance that led to Selleck being offered the career defining lead role in the hit show Magnum, P.I. (1980).
- GoofsWhen Kathy Bent runs up to Waco in the street, instead of sounding like a dirt road, it sounds like a concrete stage floor.
- Quotes
Waco Williams: Maverick, I guess you're the only man in the world who would be insulted if somebody called him a good man.
Bret Maverick: Not insulted, embarrassed.

Featured review
Maverick: The Saga Of Waco Williams
Waco wants his partner to give himself up. Bret wants the reward. It is cattlemen versus homesteaders! Bret and Waco are neither, but cannot stay out of trouble. Bret spends the whole time trying to keep Waco calm. He just wants to avoid fights and win money. "I'm just a teensy bit mercenary," Bret confesses. Waco does not eat dirt! I may not have even known Waco was in Texas when this show aired on February 15, 1959. I have come a long. "The Saga Of Waco Williams" was the highest rated show in the series, and Maverick's popularity was at its peak. I recall walking home from school and pretending I was Bret with my cousin as Bart. "Camptown Races" and "Oh! Susanna" are played.
