Where To Watch
One episode of Maverick connects to 8 other shows — can you name them all?
The episode features sitcom stars, a parody of another classic Western and lots of cats!
Maverick stood out against its straightforward Western peers as a witty, irreverent take on the gunslinger genre. Bret and Bart Maverick traded gibes with adversaries far more than bullets.
Though it had plenty of humor, the show was still very much a Western. It even used many of the same character actors that popped up in so many other Old West shows.
The classic episode “The Cats of Paradise” features many recognizable actors and references another popular Western. It shares a few other connections only the biggest classic TV fans will know.

8/8 the directorial question almost got me, but 1961 was too early for Flipper or Gentle Ben
1/8......
6 out of 8...I didn't recognize Richard Deacon, nor did I know whom Faro Jack was a parody of. The rest were easy.
8 of 8 sniffed them out
* B-b-but can we connect any of these actors to Kevin Bacon? ☺
Trying to remember which episode of the twilight Show Buddy Ebsen was on.
For The Record:
Buddy Ebsen starred with Dane Clark in "The Prime Mover" on Twilight Zone.
That's the one where Buddy could move objects by concentrating on them.
Fun Fact:
To save money, TZ borrowed stock footage of a car crash from the feature movie Thunder Road (they knew how to stretch a buck back then).

I Have 8 out 8.
8/8
8 for 8.
By the way, Mike Road played the delightful "Pearly Gates" several times on Maverick.
He was also memorable as Race Bannon on Jonny Quest.
The first time you hear his unmistakable voice on Maverick you know it's Race Bannon.

Nice timing... this Episode just circulated through Yesterday... I turned on the TV (Still on MeTV of course) and my first reaction was "Is that Buddy Ebsen?"
