I watch it when I can. Its on at odd times so I can't catch It much. But when I can, I will watch it.

I've watched Perry Mason more in the past year than ever before. I'm totally hooked on it. (Although I don't care much for the episodes where the actor who portrayed Hamilton Burger was fired for a year).

I watch it Sometimes. It's a good show . Perry Mason , Hamilton Burger are AL! Good characters

I love PM. I have seasons 1 - 5 and 9 on DVD. Great chemistry between the main actors on the show. Also, if you love PM, get the 50th anniversary dvd as it contains lots of outtakes, screen tests and interviews.

This show has been on forever and I never really got into it. It could be there was always something else on. It always seemed to be courtroom banter as I flipped channels. The funny thing is that I watch an episode recently (November 2016). and watched it from the beginning and got hooked instantly. It was very noir like... I couldn't believe how I missed this all these years since I've been watching TV since the late 50s LOL. The episode I saw was from the 1st season titled "The Case of the Sun Bather's Diary", and noticed it wasn't all courtroom - it seemed more like being in 3 parts where the 1st part is the story line and a murder, or just before the murder - the 2nd part is Perry and Paul doing an investigation for another 20 minutes or so, and then the last part the courtroom. All very dark with moody music... Just awesome. Hopefully most seasons are as good as the 1st since I will eventually get the series on DVD.

Since I now have MeTV, I've enjoyed watching Perry Mason weekday mornings. I have to admit that I like the show but I find it somewhat hard to follow. If you blink, the train of thought is lost.

Yeah ! It is the type of show you really have to sit and watch and sink your teeth in!

Not the kind of show that you just have on in the background if you are getting ready to go out or up doing cleaning or something!

On at 9AM, I like to curl up on the couch with a nice cup of coffee and watch Perry in the morning if I am up and have the time to watch !

I love Perry Mason. The cast is excellent. By the way, does anyone know why they got rid of 2 cast members...the detective Anderson, who was on for years, and that law student who appeared in about ten episodes.

LeeBlue · 05-17-2017, 10:27 AM

Richard Anderson took over when Ray Collins died. Anderson appeared in the remaining Perry Mason episodes.

I vaguely remember the young law clerk. He probably didn't catch on with the audience and was let go. ??

I love it too! I have the first seven seasons' worth in the volume releases, and that 50th Anniversary release, and the Perry Mason Movie Collection.

I've never seen it but I may blind buy the complete series DVD if it goes on sale.

OMG!!! NEVER? You never saw Perry Mason?

Wow, well I think you would like it , it's a classic!

But why not try it out on METV in the morning now that summer vacation is coming up to try it out before ordering the complete series?

1960'sTVfan · 05-26-2017, 01:04 PM

I have a catalog from Critics Choice Video and it has the Perry Mason complete series on sale for $98.97. That's not a bad price and if I was a Perry Mason fan I'd consider ordering this, but I'm not really into courtroom drama. Perry Mason has good acting, that isn't the problem, I just think the series is dull and uninteresting.

Bonniegirl · 10-13-2019, 02:49 AM

Perry Mason is on ALOT on FETV!!

If 9AM is too early for you to watch on METV (that was the thing with me, I love this show but sometimes I'm not up yet to watch TV) ! Now that I have FETV , I really get to see PM much more ! I mean it is literally on like about 4 or 5 times a day!!

And besides it being a really interesting, entertaining show, Paul Drake is really handsome!! I've lately been noticing how hot he is !!

And OMG!! WHOA when he was younger he was REALLY HOT!!!!

Did you know he, William Hopper is Hedda Hopper's Son?

Hawkee · 10-17-2019, 02:16 AM

Mom and I LOVE Perry Mason and we watch it nearly every day on METV and it's fun to guess the outcomes of the cases and I think Raymond Burr was perfect for the role of Perry Mason. I do hope they reboot Perry Mason next because it's a great show
