I only this year began watching the old episodes of Perry mason. I recall my folks watching them but to me they were boring as a kid, so I never got into the show. Then I saw an episode a few months ago and was hooked.
The kind of writing and character development in this program is award caliber. I can't think of a law show, old or new, that can stand up to the regular excellence of the original Perry Mason. It amazes me that they could do this week after week for 9 years.
You can't be a dummy and expect to follow along, for this show treats its viewers as intelligent, thinking individuals. Great drama all around without excesses. Superb!
