This series was ahead of its time.

Indubitably ! :-)

I am 71 yrs old and remember watching Perry Mason with my dad but never The Defenders. Never ever heard of them until now and I like most but all of them I have seen so far.

Is that right? I can see how such shows can lift up a whole network with the quality and compelling nature of good court drama.

I certainly have a notion to second that emotion !! :-)

"Amazing collection" is right. I watch over and over and find issues each time that I missed in the previous viewing. Wisdom is what I am looking for, and wisdom is what I find.

As much as the wife hated her husband, she hated herself much more. This passive suicide/murder was the greatest moment of her life!! What type of life is that. Get a divorce and move on. Yes her husband would marry her "replacement" but is there more to life than self destructive hatred!!???

He does come off like a TOTAL JERK! Too bad we can’t tell who the jerks are before we engage them.

That's his modus operandi, forte etc. Here comes the character you love to hate!!!

Have you ever seen Robert Webber in "12 Angry Men" (1957)?

lol

You can watch season 1 here......kzfaq.info/sun/PLSiWef1cBS0S-wTi-n5ZOiWIKl9lqJ2aA

@@rubypearl2298 Thank you!

EG Marshall Robert Webber

Yes, for me too. I was just a little one when it come out on TV but I do remember the music!

You can say that again ! Before now, there were only a precious few episodes of this classic 60's TV drama available online....

What was the difference between either, why so happy it was she.....or do we already know.

At that time, the network "standards and practices" would have demanded that there be a conclusion where they did not get together at the end. They made Alfred Hitchcock explain at the end of most of his TV shows why the killer didn't exactly get away with murder even though the script suggested that they did.

Yeah, that had to be a comedown from co-starring in a very good dramatic series to co-starring in a very lame sitcom. Still, work is work and acting is a tough profession. A steady paycheck for 5-6 seasons was not to be sneered at.

He was on Mannix from time to time that must've gave him some satisfaction while working on Brady

Actually Reed was under contract with Paramount. Since he wasn't working they MADE him work on the Brady Bunch. He had no choice.

@@markhenzler250Sounds like the old Hollywood with 7 yr contracts, made to work on B films and loaning out actors. Brady was a B film😊

What do you mean the wife would have committed suicide, she did, just with the assistance of an assassin. She obviously hated her life and wanted to die with the "Philistines"!!! See the book of Judges approximately the end of Chapter 16.

There are definitely hints of "Louise". Very observant of you. 👍

I haven’t read Louise but sounds like my fave movie “Leave Her to Heaven”

By father, do mean E G Marshall? If so, then that is his hair entirely.

Yes… he does play the part as a lawyer and the father

I've posted all the episodes I've got except for season 1

And the sky is blue...

So is rotten spelling of simple words, Dondi.

@@michaelwertzy9808 Let's write to Shout Factory & get them to release seasons 2, 3, and 4.

Absolutely, and so is passive suicide /murder. Attempting to get improper innocent people executed isn't exactly moral either. Notwithstanding self destructive hatred!!!! In this series you have to pick and choose the episodes you are comfortable / uncomfortable with. There is nothing moral about intermarriage between Jew and Gentile. Euthanasia is murder especially when the victim a down syndrome child has no say in the matter. Then there's abortion where no one is consulting the fetus as to whether he wants a chance to live, etc. and further etc.

@@dovidrotenberg4690 "The Defenders" was all about making viewers feel uncomfortable. If you didn't feel a bit conflicted at the end, you weren't paying attention.
