Originally telecast December 8, 1963, "The Waiting Game" introduces Kathie Browne in the recurring role of Laura Dayton. When Laura's husband Frank (Wade Preston) is killed, she decides not to reveal this tragic fact to her wide-eyed little daughter Peggy (Katie Sweet), who is anxiously awaiting her daddy's return. Agreeing to help keep Laura's secret, Adam Cartwright finds himself falling in love with her. Written by Ed Adamson, this episode was to have been the first of eight to ten installments leading up to the marriage of Laura Dayton and Adam Cartwright-and, ultimately, Pernell Roberts' departure from the series. But thanks to the protests of Bonanza's female fans, things did not quite turn out as planned. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Wayde Preston took a break from his starring duties on the Warner Bros. western series Colt. 45 for a guest stint in this episode of Maverick. Preston is cast as Waco Williams, a trigger-happy gent who manages to get into trouble even when he goes out of the way to avoid it. Riding into Bent City with Waco at his side, Bret (James Garner) soon finds himself in the middle of a range war between cattlemen and homesteaders. Though Bret tries to broker a peace between the two warring factions, his efforts are scuttled by the troublesome Waco, who in addition to his other shortcomings happens to be an outlaw with a price on his head. Future Academy Award winner Louise Fletcher does an ingenue turn in this episode, which earned Maverick its highest-ever ratings. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

One of seventeen sequels to Gianfranco Parolini's 1968 spaghetti western Sartana, this slow-moving entry has very little, if anything, to do with the series. The story concerns gunman Lee Calloway (William Berger), who agrees to help three outlaws break out of jail in exchange for half of their stolen gold. Calloway carries through with his end of the bargain, but the outlaws betray him and leave him in the desert to die. After wandering for days, Calloway is rescued by Esther (Jolanda Modio), who nurses him back to health only to trick him as well in order to collect a reward for his life. ~ Robert Firsching, All Movie Guide
