There were a lot of episodes on youtube recently but Time Warner is reputedly the most zealous company about pulling their copyrighted work down immediately. It would be more sensible if they uploaded a couple of choice episodes themselves as an advertisement for the DVDs.<br />Michael Powersnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-631606887466817882.post-6883599325717362622012-03-10T15:02:04.307-05:002012-03-10T15:02:04.307-05:00Didn't mean that Kelly doesn't deserve to ...Didn't mean that Kelly doesn't deserve to be on the cover. I only meant that Kelly's largely forgotten today by the general public although us Aficionados of the series revere Kelly's contribution but Garner's still famous (if you don't believe me, start asking people who "the actor Jack Kelly" is the next time you're in a grocery store line or some other Michael Powersnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-631606887466817882.post-47934886752654844522012-02-29T21:12:25.752-05:002012-02-29T21:12:25.752-05:00I agree with Janet and Linda, Jack Kelly was ever ...I agree with Janet and Linda, Jack Kelly was ever bit as important to Maverick as Mr. Garner and should have been included on the cover of the DVD's. Jack Kelly has a nice fan base and facebook page for fans. The biography by Linda Alexander is an excellent way to get more information on Jack Kelly's life.

It's more that the Powers That Be (then) were determined to see James Garner & Jack Kelly spar for the top spot, & that "game" continues to sell to this day.

Or maybe not, since Garner's a bit less recognizable in that one, I guess. The next couple of seasons should feature them both on the cover, though, on the assumption that after people see this one, they'll know who Kelly is.Michael Powersnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-631606887466817882.post-70519614562524663292012-02-24T11:35:49.182-05:002012-02-24T11:35:49.182-05:00Sure hope Jack Kelly is on the cover at some point...Sure hope Jack Kelly is on the cover at some point, too!
