I wanted to experience Perry Mason for an infamous "ending," so I grabbed a random box set of Perry out of the library.

I couldn't believe that I actually almost figured out "who did it" in this one episode I watched.

Of course, there was only one speaking character other than the usual people in the show, that sort of narrowed things down for me...

I can't believe how much smoking there is in this series from Mason and Drake. As well, Mason really yelled a lot in the show I watched when he was in the courtroom with Burger.

My reviews of Ironside are continuing, but this is a tough slog. Check out this review (there are some mistakes in the grammar, etc. which I will fix soon):

A friend of mine told me that Perry Mason inspired him to become a lawyer. But he also mentioned another legal show starring James Whitmore which had the same effect: The Law and Mr. Jones.
