I love Raymond Burr, a great man, a fantastic actor, he's given us hundreds of hours of on screen entertainment to last forever. I still watch Perry Mason to this day and I love every episode. I loved watching Dave trying to make stupid jokes and Raymond having none of it and shutting him down. It was apparent Dave was in awe of this great man and incredible actor. Raymond Burr will do down in history as one of the greatest actors of all time. After I finish this comment I'm going back to watching season 7 of Perry Mason. Rest in peace Raymond, God has you now.

I believe time has shown that Letterman is bright and knowledgeable and could sometimes assume a juvenile persona for comedic effect, as he's doing here. It's my opinion that Burr picked up on that and is playing it completely deadpan in his responses for a humorous contrast.

Burr never becomes impatient. I never knew that Burr wanted a full movie treatment of a Perry Mason story during the original television run. He might have been pleased that this modern era gave the story a full-season series, and now a second.

Silver hair,beard and blue eyes to melt in.I spent time with him on and off for several months.One afternoon he was in The Lone Star in SF. It was mid afternoon and nobody was in the place.When in came Robert Benavides.He had some wine to leave as samples from their winery.He ended up taking to my friend for obvious reasons. Along with the fact he was really sweet.He left a card with him and told him to let him know if he ever wanted to go to the vineyard for a tour. A few weeks later, we did just that.He told us to come up a couple days later when he had time to spend with us. He had a bottle of wine with us and showed us around. It was so strange being in the house knowing he and so many friends of his had been in the same room we were in. Robert was very sweet to. We had a nice time. I wish I had thought to bring a camera.

Regarding Raymond Burr's sense of humour, it's sometimes forgotten that he was Canadian, born in British Columbia, and evidently close to his family all his life. Typically Canadian, his humour could be very dry, self-deprecating, ironic, satiric, and extremely witty in both languages. It's on a level completely different from that of Mr Letterman.

Raymond wasn't entirely accurate that he and Barbara were the only cast members returning.....Richard Anderson had made a few separate appearances before joining the cast in the police role Steve Drumm for the last 1965-66 season and came back for "Perry Mason Returns" but as a completely new character, as did Lee Miller who had played Sgt. Brice in numerous appearances in the original series and was also Burr's stand-in. It was very common for actors to make repeat visits as different characters, even in the 90s' Perry Mason movies, such as Charles Macaulay playing not only both a judge and a DA, but two different DA characters!

He never seemed to be prepared much in regards to info about his guests. And his style of interviewing to me was usually lackluster. But clearly millions of folk loved his show & style because he had a long TV hosting career before his retirement. Oh well...to each his own, as they say.

I read where Godzilla 1985 was going to be written as a comedy for America but Burr took Godzilla’s nuclear metaphor seriously and talked the filmmakers out of it. I have no doubt he was funny when needed be but he took his profession seriously and he did not seem to really appreciate and react to David’s comments here though he sat through the interview like a good sport, but I’m sure he went home and complained about it. Haha

Spoilers ahead - The Case of the Terrified Typist: His client is found guilty and everyone starts congratulating Ham Burger, but then it is revealed that the defendant is not the same person they thought and is freed. The Case of the Deadly Verdict: The one most people would remember, the client is found guilty at the beginning of the episode, and Perry finds a way to overturn it by the end. The Case of the Witless Witness: Really the only true lasting defeat, Perry is shown losing an appeal of some sort not related to murder, but it does not go into detail and isn't mentioned again.

I read that there wasn’t much romance between Mason and street because Gardner simply couldn’t write it and Burr couldn’t deliver it.
