The Maverick television show might be over 60 years old, but most of the stories are as interesting today as ever. The whole show blends some of that classic film era fashion and style with the good old west cowboy world. A bit of interpretive history is blended in for story foundation. The audience can never tire of the charisma, determination, honesty, humour and intelligence of the two leading characters. It's a timeless show. There are so many historic references for better or worse. The show frequently reveals class and race arrogance and struggles. The stage coach rides, trains and themes of opening up America are truly revealing. Has either Canada or the US of A evolved beyond this frontier mentality of more than 150 years ago? Doesn't seem like it, but we sure better soon.
