They're pretty uneven which is to be expected in a show that ran so many episodes for so many years. The good episodes are interesting to watch. And it's always fun to catch Angie Dickinson or James Drury or other actors before they became names. I also got a Perry Mason novel from the library to compare. Erle Stanley Gardner was an attorney and Mason spent a lot more time in his office and less at crime scenes. Paul Drake was described as skinny with a hawklike nose and he was written as someone who would be pals with underworld types like Nick Charles. Mason also had a law clerk for research and there was a newspaper reporter he would go to when he wanted to get his side of the story into the press. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TVorNotTV" group.
