It is on a Friday and starts at 8 A.M. on the Encore Western Channel. The time may be inconvenient so set those recorders! This is a one hour Maverick tv western/comedy episode that was set in the old west. It was a popular tv series in the late 50s and early 60s and starred James Garner as Bret Maverick and Jack Kelly as Bart Maverick.
This great episode today is called Full House and it has several of the great gunman and outlaws of the old west. It is very rare that you have all these outlaws together so you won't want to miss it. This episode was first shown on 10-25-59 and featured the following notorias outlaws:

Sam Bass
Jim Dalton (he wasn't one of the Dalton gang but was probably a relative of them plus there was a reward on him)
Ben Thomson
Black Bart
Billy the Kid
Cole Younger
Jesse James
Frank James
Clay Allison
Belle Starr

Also Foxy Smith who was the criminal mastermind that Bret was mistaken for is in it even though he was never well known.
Nancy Culp appears in this movie as a tipsy waitress and she was to be Miss Hathaway in the Beverly Hillbillies tv series.

Joel Grey played Billy the Kid. He was to make movies and win an oscar for best supporting acter as the master of ceremonies in the
musical Cabaret made in the early 70s.

It is noted that John Wesley Hardin didn't appear in this episode but was in an earlier Maverick episode and it is probably good for Maverick that he didn't show up.
Billy the Kid was to appear in another Maverick episode but this one strangely isn't referred too.

It is rare that we have so many notorious outlaws in one episode or movie so enjoy!

Also Nancy Culp appears in this episode as a tipsy waitress as I have mentioned and it is a very funny scene indeed. As mentioned she was later to be Miss Hathaway in the tv series The Beverly Hillbillies but she was on many tv episodes and movies.
