True, there are some questions. For example, the office of District Attorney is an elected one in many cities, including Los Angeles (where the show is set), and it’s hard to see how Burger* keeps getting voted in when he loses every high-profile case he tries. And what about that police department? They seem to constantly be arresting the wrong person, after little more than a cursory investigation which suggests they already have their minds up before they even start. Tragg’s just lucky he isn’t back to walking a beat. In that sense one might see a fairly subversive undercurrent to this series.

Raymond Burr was nominated three consecutive years and won his first Emmy the same year his co-star and friend Barbara Hale walked home with an award in her hands. He won again in 1961 when Barbara Hale received her second nomination. William Hopper was nominated once in 1959, which was the most popular year of Perry Mason in respect to acting awards. The show itself also received a nomination in 1958. The original Perry Mason show is available on VHS and DVD (up to season 5 now). Perry Mason Returns is available on the 50th anniversary of Perry Mason DVD. Other Tv movies are scarcely available on VHS.

Perry Mason first graced the silver screen in the 1930s. Six movies were made between 1934 and 1937. Another film was loosely based on the characters and books. It was shot in 1940. In The Case of the Velvet Claws (1936), Della Street got married to Perry Mason , picking up on Perry Mason’ s proposals to his secretary in the early novels, something that was never openly referred to in the original Tv show although Raymond Burr and Barbara Hale added to their on-screen chemistry by including looks and gestures and thus left the audience wondering.
