Perry Mason
Perry Mason produced over 271 episodes for CBS. It started its run September 21, 1957 and ended September 4, 1966.
For nine seasons the famous defense attorney solved murder cases in the
courtroom. Assisting him in solving those complex puzzles was his personal investigator, Paul
Drake and his secretary Della Street. Paul Drake, archetypal P.I.,
ran the Drake Detective Agency. Tall, athletic and handsome, we
never really knew his background. Perhaps if he were around today he would be pursuing his online criminal justice degree as well as chasing bad guys.
Perry seemed to put together the facts at the very last minute to solve those puzzling
cases. His adversary was District Attorney Hamilton Burger, whom he would outshine each and every week. The
outcome each episode was certainly predictable but nonetheless entertaining. Mason never lost a case which made
DA Burger that more determined to beat Perry one time.
