Featured review
We finally meet the source of all those Pappy aphorisms
If Bret and Bart had really thought about it they would have gone into the Chinese restaurant business and put all those Pappy sayings in fortune cookies.
Confucius say, they would have cleaned up.
From their Sabine River border town in East Texas comes young Troy Donahue to get the Mavericks because old Pappy instead of marrying Donahue's mother Virginia Gregg is marrying some nice 18 year old girl from a Creole family across the river in Louisiana. Kaye Elhardt is a lovely young thing who Donahue is carrying a torch for. But her dad and brothers, Henry Daniell, Michael Forest, and Adam West are one snooty crowd.
There is an ulterior motive of course, but you watch the episode to see what's really going on.
This was season 3's opener in the Maverick show and it's a dandy. And speaking of that Bart gets to pretend he's Dandy Jim Buckley. And pappy is none other than James Garner in a dual role.
