Couldn't ask for a better Valentine's Day present:
I just saw it announced on "TVShowsOnDVD" that the entire first season of Maverick will FINALLY be released on DVD "just in time for Father's Day" on May 29, at the "priced to own" cost of $39.98! The official press release from Warner Home Video is here.
Watch "TDS" for further updates!
As my old Pappy might have said, "This is great news--I just wonder what took them so darn long?" ;-)

Got a Tough Cleaning Job? :)
THEN TRY THE AMAZING NEW:
MAVERAG!
TV's Bart Maverick, Jack Kelly, demonstrates this revolutionary new product. For tough cleaning jobs, the MAVERAG is better than a royal flush!
The incredible MAVERAG can't be beat when it comes to rubbing, scrubbing, dusting or buffing. Tidy up the table after that all-night poker game--or, like Jack here, grab a couple of MAVERAGS to tackle that two-fisted car washing chore!
The MAVERAG comes in a variety of colors and sizes, and is machine washable. And, for do-it-yourselfers, an exclusive kit is also available so you can make your very own MAVERAGS from common household materials such as old shirts and towels. Includes special MAVERAG scissors and easy-to-follow instructions.
Yes, you'll really clean up with: the MAVERAG!

¡JK Olé! :)
¡Hola!After what seemed like forever, ël sol (the sun) finally took center stage in the January sky here today. In honor of this enlightening event, here’s a photograph of Jack Kelly costumed in a traje de luces (suit of lights) for his role as Sidney Franklin in “My First Bullfight” which aired on the ABC series TV Reader’s Digest on June 20, 1955.
Franklin was an adventurous American writer and artist who counted Ernest Hemingway and James Dean among his amigos. So, how did this boy from Brooklyn end up as a bullfighter? The episode description for “My First Bullfight" in TV.com says, “An American artist is drawing bullfighting posters in Mexico City. After a little too much tequila, he feels he has what it takes to battle a bull.”
JK certainly cut a dashing figure as the atypical torero, and he really rocks that suit. In fact, I think this is my new favorite photo of JK! :)

On Guard! :)
Howdy All!
Well, it happened again--while on YouTube, I stumbled upon a Jack Kelly performance I hadn't yet seen. It's in A Double Life. Unfortunately, it's not the 1947 feature film starring Ronald Colman. Nope, this is the 1978 pilot film for a short-lived NBC series called Sword of Justice.
The late Dack Rambo stars as "Jack Cole", a "millionaire playboy" who was unjustly imprisoned for a crime he didn't commit. But, Cole put his time in the stir to good use. No, he didn't raise birds or earn a law degree. He learned how to become a crook. Not to worry, though: once out of the joint, Cole uses his newfound bad skills for good.
In A Double Life, Cole puts the squeeze on the murderous mastermind (a slightly pre-Dallas Larry Hagman) behind a scheme involving counterfeit wine.
I slogged through 11 segments of A Double Life on YouTube and found the three where JK briefly appears as "Walters", a surly security guard at the winery.
In the first segment, he comes in at about 1:00. As you'll see, he wears a laughably large hat. And, although his character is generally a grouch, JK does get in a funny line near the end of the clip:
In the segment below, JK comes in about 2:23 and yells at one of the winery workers (who is actually Cole's undercover operative):
Finally, JK wraps up his appearance starting at about 4:11:

Since Sword of Justice aired in early 1978 and was produced by Glen Larson, I wonder if perhaps Walters was working undercover, too, and was actually Harry Hammond of the Justice Department who became the boss of the Hardy Boys later that year... ;-)
