The theme is truly an American Classic Theme with Jazz,Blues all rolled into one!

R.I.P. Raymond Burr; you will always be Perry Mason in our hearts😔😎😁

Watching this with my mom when I was a little girl is why I became a criminal defense attorney. I was so excited by all of the different shots of the courtroom and the awesome music. I didn’t know exactly what Perry did but I knew I wanted to do it too. And now I’m 41 and there is nowhere I feel more comfortable than a courtroom. Thanks Perry!

God, I love that music. My mother used to watch the original PM when I was I kid. I loved that theme even back then.

The theme is timeless.

I remember sitting with my grandfather staring out the window at the stars while he watched Perry Mason. Every single time I hear this, I flash back like it was yesterday. I smell his cigar, I remember hearing my grandmother in the kitchen talking to my mom...I couldn't have been 2 or 3 years old, so must have been '67. Very fond memories that are very strongly attached to this theme song for some reason :)

Memories from my childhood... What a fantastic theme tune

Just love this theme with the empty court room an all.

I love this theme and show

Used to watch this with my nana on a weekday afternoon. Miss her so much❤ memories never die❤

Love the way they remade the theme song. Retro to modern. Cool.😎

Henry Mancinni’esque. Always loved the converging strings after the main theme melody. Very cool arrangement by Dick DeBenedictis of Fred Steiner classic tune.

This is one of those rare revivals that not only actually live up to the original but the performances of Burr and Hale were maybe even better in these movies than even the original series. They were both over sixty and were as spry and as strong in their roles as ever! While I do love William Katt as Paul Drake Jr. it is tragic that William Hopper, William Talman and Ray Collins were all dead by then and couldn't be in the movies. But their memories live on through reruns of the original series.

Always, Perry Mason for the defense, with the coolest music

I so agree! One of the all-time greatest themes!

One of the all time great show themes, along with The Untouchables! Someone should compile a CD of these great TV show themes!

This show and Matlock had the best theme music

NBC had done those Perry Mason films for 8 years-26 in all- until Raymond Burr passed away in 1993. It’s wonderful to see Perry’s cases in color, for a change. Kenneth A Huang 7/18/2022

I remember the show long ago I always loved the theme

Unlike so many other remakes, the Perry Mason tv movies were a successful revival of the show. Praised by the critics and with good viewing ratings. William Katt, btw, was Barbara Hale's son.

I love this theme

0:21 Now THAT is the opening I remembered when I was 8 or 9.

J'adorais Perry Mason! Je propose qu'on remplace les émissions du genre "les anges de la télé réalité ou certaines séries, ou encore kolentha..." par cette série...je serais au rendez-vous every night!!

How many people knew that William Katt is the real life son of Barbara Hale?

I was living in Denver when the movies were made and worked downtown so I met some of the guest stars (David Ogden Stiers, Phillip Michael Thomas, Barbara Anderson -- though she might have been there to shoot the "Ironside" reunion movie, I didn't ask her). Anyway, the main reason they were shot in Denver was a simple one. It cost less to do it here.

Hottest theme ever.

One of the best themes EVER!!!! .... I used to watch these, (to young for the original), had such a crush on William Katt ;-)

This is the only Perry Mason TV-Movie to be in black and white for just a few seconds from the start before its TV-Movie Title got shown and in color.

I ALSO WATCHED THIS WITH MY MOM, AND IT IS ONE OF THE THE THINGS WHICH GOT ME INTERESTED IN THE LAW, LIKE NICKI, CONGRATULATIONS BY THE WAY, I WORKED FOR THE STATE AND THE TRIED FOR THE FEDERAL LEVEL AND LOST OUT FOR I GOT FOOD POISONING AT THE TIME OF THE ASSIGNMENT TO AN ASSEMBLY OVERSEAS!!!GARY BAILEY

This TV movie began the modern era of the company currently known as Paramount Global. When spun off from CBS in 1971, Viacom operated as a syndicator of old TV programs, primarily those from CBS, especially those produced in-house by CBS. Viacom entered into producing first-run programs in 1974, but for over a decade none of their weekly series clicked with viewers, only a 1981 miniseries adaptation of East of Eden. Enter Fred Silverman and Dean Hargrove. Previously, Silverman served as the head of each of the three major networks of the time, being especially successful at ABC. Silverman formed his own production company in 1981, initially aligned with MGM/UA. In 1985, he began his partnership with Hargrove, and that year the first Perry Mason telefilm, Perry Mason Returns, aired on NBC, reviving Raymond Burr's portrayal of the attorney 19 years after the CBS series, then syndicated by Viacom, concluded. Perry Mason returns was a ratings success, and Viacom produced an additional 29 telefilms in the series through 1995. Silverman, Hargrove, and Viacom also produced another TV movie that had a variation of the Perry Mason concept, Diary of a Perfect Murder, the same TV season. This telefilm, starring Andy Griffith of another Viacom-syndicated series, The Andy Griffith Show, as Ben Matlock, was the pilot for the weekly series known as Matlock that debuted in the fall of 1986. It was around this time that Viacom was taken over by National Amusements and took over cable channels previously owned by Warner Communications, including MTV, Nickelodeon, and Showtime. Matlock was Viacom's first in-house weekly series to be a hit, and it spawned a spin-off on CBS, Jake and the Fatman, in which one of the lead actors was William Conrad, previously of Cannon which Viacom also distributed at the time. That show in turn spun off Diagnosis: Murder, starring Dick Van Dyke, of another show in the Viacom library at the time, The Dick Van Dyke Show (which is now distributed by Paul Brownstein Productions). Viacom's fast growth from the mid-1980s into the 1990s gave them the leverage to pursue an acquisition that would give them ownership of a major movie studio. In the fall of 1993, Viacom and QVC started a bidding war for Paramount Communications, which owned Paramount Pictures, and was previously known as Gulf and Western Industries. Viacom prevailed in 1994, and cemented its status as one of the major American media conglomerates. Viacom boosted the library of its Paramount division by acquiring Spelling Entertainment Group in 1999, but the next year brought Viacom its biggest acquisition yet - the original CBS Corporation, formerly known as Westinghouse Electric Corporation. This made Viacom not only the owner of its former parent, but at the time the second-largest American media conglomerate. Viacom would have some synergy troubles over the first few years of the 21st century, and thus changed its name to CBS Corporation and spun off the motion picture division of Paramount as well as the company's basic cable networks as a new Viacom. By the late 2010s, though, the landscape had changed, and thus National Amusements pursued a remerger of the media companies it controlled. After resistance from CBS head Les Moonves, who was later ousted after a sexual harassment scandal, CBS Corporation re-absorbed Viacom in December 2019 to form ViacomCBS, later renamed Paramount Global (doing business as Paramount) to reflect the importance of Paramount Pictures in its operations. None of this would have happened if Fred Silverman and Dean Hargrove hadn't come along in 1985.

The Perry Mason Theme Is Great.

The song is hot...

Erle Stanley Gardiner`s estate has said that no one else can play Perry Mason.

El mejor Perry. Unico Raymond❤❤❤❤

I love watching this show and Matlock on MeTv

The sad thing about the PM movies is watching Raymond Burr's health fail until he finally passed away.😞

If Perry Mason was rebooted, William Petersen would be perfect as the crime fighting attorney!

RIP!! RAYMOND BURR 1917-1993 AKA PERRY MASON IRONSIDE!!

"Now if you excuse me I have to be in Tokyo by tomorrow, I'm defending Godzilla on charges of destruction of property."

レイモンドバーの、ドラマＮHＫで、放送してました。車のせんででも。父は、法的もののどらまがすきでした。アップありがとうございます感謝いたします。

Perry Mason was very popular when my late brother Norma nan and me were teenagers.

I still love the theme!!!!❤

The new HBO Perry Mason made me think of this song

The only time a tv character was revived and it even came close 2 being as great as the original.

I believe that's the same guy that composed the theme to Diagnosis Murder.

It was the Reunion Movies that made me anxious to watch the Original Series. In the beginning of the reunion movies in the 1980's the original wasn't airing in reruns at the time.

I'm 28 and love this...

linda serie

This theme scared me when I was kid,lol.

Please bring the Perry Mason Movies back on FETV

A reboot that made sense.

You knonw some skullduggery **** is about to go down in this music.

Best TV theme EVER. Forceful, haunting, and a bit film noir. I never watched this series. Anyplace that the entire pilot is available?

Very awesome episode

I only wish that William Katt aka Paul Drake Jr. could have stuck around for the remainder of the series instead of bringing in Ken Malanski! Be that as it may, I still love this series!

@143AC The version in the 1970's was, as my late father would say, 'Gestinken'.

James is the most beautiful man ever but river is also beautiful

0:09-0:18 Wwwwoooooooah, sounds like I am having one of those episodes. 😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱

I was a fan of the '50's series. The new one? Undecided.

他界した、父親が、好きな番組でした。私も、この曲が、かっこいい。レイモンドバーさん、素敵でした。他局で、アイアンサウンドでは、声優の若山弦蔵さんでした。この曲を聴くと。父を、思い出します。😔

I wish they could release a DVD of this movie.

PERRY Mason returns song

R.I.P. Raymond Burr!

Great transition from the 50’s/60’s series to the 80’s return!

anybody got the ending to this episode where they drive away in the jeep...and between perry mason and ironside...perry mason by a mile

I Like PERRY MASON RETURNS

They should do a remake of this show and make it a movie

The one here's closer to PM's ending credits, which were slower than the opening music.

Someone needs to sample this (legally of course) it's so layered makes me wish i was a musician.

Love William Katt always, where are his PM TV movies??? Thanks....K

If the title had followed the format of the later movies, my guess is it would be called The Case of the Returning Lawyer.

The actor with the most comebacks

Well, the original series is being replayed on Me-TV -- should you be curious. And I agree with you about the theme.

亡くなった父がよくみてました。父は、法廷のドラマが好きでした。私もこの曲すきです。確か車の宣伝🚗に使われていました？

wasn't Ramond Burr the guy who was in Godzilla?

Actually, my favorite character was Paul Drake, too. I was always annoyed that when William Katt was no longer available to play the role of Paul Drake, Jr. why didn't they simply RECAST IT? Katt did (only) NINE of the movies, you couldn't exactly say he "owned" that role. Further, I think enough time has passed that the public would accept a "new" Perry Mason. (The problem with "The New Adventures" was that they tried it TOO SOON. 7 years after the end of the original series.)

hola DONDE PUEDO VER PERRY MASON EN ESPAÑOL TODAS LAS SERIES

And Fred Steiner passed away in 2011

Ripped from the Forum Home Video VHS release of the same name

it may sound as a silly or strange question; but what does this music mean? Purely...what could be its aim or main feelings ?

How About we do a Survey. Which Raymond Burr Character do you like More? Ironside or Perry Mason?

I remember this being in Incredibles and I have no clue where it was

very nice!!!

Why did William Katt stop appearing in the Perry Mason TV-Movies after Perry Mason TV-Movie #9, titled The Case of The Lady in The Lake (1988))? There was no explanation about what happened to his character, Paul Drake Jr., who got hired by Perry Mason to be his investigator after Perry resigned as an appellate court judge to defend Della Street, who was framed for murder.

I LKE PERRY MASON ŔETURN

Wonder who'd win: Perry Mason vs Ben Matlock?

Can you upload theat Perry Mason movie? Joanne.

Barbara Hale is the only one still alive. She's also William Katts mother.

They changed the music somewhat. I love the 50' music better it was perry mason music.

a clssic tv film

@AaronBruceLadner Perry Mason!

And then I would get put to bed.

@theyoungharris and don't forget about Matlock and Jake and the Fatman

It's not the original orchestration.

他界した、父がこの番組大好きでした。今は、亡き父に、聞かせたかった😔

Kascnef, you mean Dick DeBenedictis? Yeah, he's still alive.

PERRY MASON!! He was my hero in the fictionalized court system because he would always find the guilty person and 'rescue' the framed person. He's the lawyer I would want if I were ever framed for murder. But sadly, I would have to settle with a regular lawyer, and end up in prison for years, maybe decades, just like they did to David Milgaard, Rubin 'Hurricane' Carter, Guy Paul Morin, and many, many other innocent people because they couldn't find a concerned, caring lawyer like PERRY MASON, who BELIEVED they were innocent.

I was just thinking, they should make "The New Perry Mason Adventures", starring Gary Sinise. He doesn't really look like Burr, but he definitely has the right style of acting for the role. Thoughts?

Though two years old,.. that was one very weak comment which brought nothing to anyone's mind whom read it. Hope you have better communication skills and typing then back then. Haven't a clue what your point was. :)

2005 ONLY ARRIVED TO DIPLOMACY ....JUST GENTIUN...BY MY SELF....OK..
