The classic TV cliche of unrelated twins came up twice this week with the "Generalissimo" episode of '30 Rock' and "Mr. Monk And The Bully" on 'Monk'. Eventually every TV character has a twin, usually evil, but in the grand scheme of Toobworld, these twins don't always show up in the same series as their lookalike.In "The War Party", James Garner guest-starred as the bad guy, Willis Peake. We know 'Bret Maverick' shares the same timeline as 'Cheyenne' Bodie, thanks to Bret's brother Bart, who met - or tried to meet! - Cheyenne in the 'Maverick' episode "Hadley's Hunters".
Although I wouldn't put it past Pappy Maverick to have "sown his oats" around the Old West, I don't like to think Willis Peake was one of Pappy's illegitimate kids; he was just a regular bastard....BCnU!

PS:
That's not a picture of James Garner as Willis Peake on the right. It's not even a real mustache! But 'twill serve......
