message: Original title: Were the Garner episodes included in the billing switch giving Jack Kelly top billing above James Garner in the 5th season?
For the 5th season, Warner Bros. fired Robert Colbert as Brent Maverick (by not calling him back) and only filmed a half season of new episodes with Jack Kelly, alternating them with reruns of Garner episodes from earlier seasons. The series reversed the opening billing with announcer's voice-over to "Starring Jack Kelly as Bart Maverick and James Garner as Bret Maverick" for the 5th season, with a peppier version of the theme song at the end, replete with the riverboat bell ringing. My question is this: did the studio change the beginning and end for the Garner reruns as well as Kelly's new episodes, or did it run the older episodes with the billing as originally presented? For the leftover held-back Bret/Bart episode in the 4th season, they left the beginning as it had been originally filmed during the 3rd season, with no mention of Roger Moore, but at that point the blood from the Garner/Warner lawsuit, freeing Garner from his contract, was still fresh.  I believe that they changed the openings for the Garner reruns to conform with the openings for the new episodes, since I vaguely remember seeing an early Garner episode with Kelly billed above Garner in the opening at the Paley Center for Media years ago but I'm not positive about that. Does anyone out there know? Davy Crockett Swings Ol' Betsy (talk) 20:23, 25 July 2020 (UTC)

message: There's an enormous and lavishly illustrated 636-page website devoted to Jack Kelly, who played Bart Maverick, called "The Tall Dark Stranger There" (it's not mine but if you're interested in the series, you should look at it).

replies: text: Apparently the surreptitious creator of this website, who is now believed to have been Nell Lynn Younge, died at some point at least a year ago. Her voluminous website featured 636 separate pages spanning from 2009 until her death in 2021, with pictures and comments. She had collected ("kellected") an enormous trove of Jack Kelly memorabilia across the decades, much of which appears on the site. After her death, her site dropped out of view when googled so the only way to access it is with direct page links like the one in the previous entry, which continues to work as of this writing; once you click on that one, you can navigate your way through the entire site, and I guarantee you'll learn a lot about Jack Kelly that you didn't previously know, no matter who you are. Take a moment and have a look at it.  On the whole, it's one of the most amazing fansites I've ever encountered on the internet. Racing Forward (talk) 11:39, 5 August 2022 (UTC)
