I guess I've seen every Matlock episode more than once. some three or four times. But it's obvious the writers for that show couldn't hold a candle to the TAGS writers. Almost every has the same plot...Two people get into an argument, one of tem is found dead, the other is found with the murder weapon. Matlock doesn't want to take the case, but then he does. An investigation follows by Matlock, one of his daughters and his investigator. there is a bit comedy, and music. Matlock likes hotdogs instead of leg of lamb or roast beef. then there is court room scene and more investigating, about 40 minutes into the show matlock unwittingly uncovers the smoking gun. more court room scenes and maybe a recess. The last 10 minutes you know who ever is on the witness stand is going to be the killer. I enjoy seeing the tags actors and actresses and especially Helen Crump as a judge. But if it weren't for Andy Griffith in the starring role I'm not so sure that show would have been nearly as successful...Even though the episodes were written in "cookie cutter' fashion I'll keep watching. It's on 10 times Monday thru Friday and four times on the weekend...
