I liked Perry Mason, but I think it mighta worked out better if they woulda solved cases faster..... it just took too darn long to progress thru stuff.

I couldn't finish the first season of Mason.

It was an ok show, but there was never anything that connected it to Burr's Mason other than a name or two.

Maybe that changed in Season 2, but it wasn't worth my time.

Up through most of the first season, it just tried to cash in the the cachet of the Burr version.

I'd have had a little more respect for the production if it didn't try to tie itself to a popular TV show, but I wouldn't have liked it any better.
