Perry Mason Lived in my Head


Title screen of the classic Perry Mason courtroom drama.

Just for fun (and accurate on the theme song, linked below)

How many criminal cases did Perry Mason, portrayed by Raymond Burr, lose? I didn’t know until recently.

Everyone knows he lost one. On the web, you can read it was either two or three. On the Carson show, Burr said three, and I figure he’s the person that should know.

When the series first came out, my mom never missed an episode. After moving to Lancaster, the show was on from 12:05 to 1:05, so I went home for lunch every day to watch it. I learned a trick from Perry Mason that I used in court, which always worked without fail. Only one attorney called me on it. It didn’t help him, though.

Heck, I even taped the theme song and played it as I walked down the hall toward the courtroom to try a case.
