Now I watch him twice a day on MeTV and I don't care if I've seen the episode 50 times before, I still watch it again. I would have loved to have met him. I found the theme song, "Park Avenue Beat" on KZfaq and my friends have strict instructions to play it at my funeral when that day comes!

I grew up watching Perry, to this day there is something comforting to hear the theme song, and hearing not only Perry Mason's voice but all of the actors from the show. I live in New Mexico it's neat to know that he used to herd sheep as a young man here. The show peaked my interest even a a young 6 year old when PM discovered that the body found had to have had his shoes put on by someone else because the shoe strings ties were tied while facing the dec'd! Glad others feel the same too.

I like a lot of the older shows that are like Perry Mason. There is a good plot, good character development, and you have to pay attention to what's going on, although they often do hold back on clues until the very end. The back and forth of the conversations to me always show thought and wit, and not just slapstick and crazy, like so many sitcoms are now. There's also no cursing, swearing, or foul language. Many writers today don't realize you can have an entertaining program without foul language.

Raymond Burr was a great actor. His wonderful voice and timing was a joy to behold. It’s a sobering thought though (given that the interview was in 1963) that by 1970, the other three male co - stars in the Perry Mason series, namely, William Talman, Ray Collins and William Hopper had all passed away. Very sad.
@bradleymilton17203 жыл бұрын
Well, it was sad that Ray Collins had to leave the show, but he was getting on in years and his health was fading. Talman's and Hopper's untimely passing was more to do with their chain smoking I'd imagine. Smoking was much the norm back then.
