Vim do Brasil só pra ver o medo do Chris

[@kelseybee123]

Me, too!! Chris Rock makes so many references that I don't get.

[@marciapeak893]

Boy do I love this theme. Loving it since I was a younger girl. I also love the original theme for Meet The Press. These are my 2 favorites.

[@nicholassakamoto2455]

Before there was Matlock, Law & Order, and Boston Legal, There was Perry Mason.

[@HesitantEvil]

I love how he hands the judge a piece of paper, the judge hands it back with a pissed off look on his face, and then he turns around with smart ass grin.... I wonder what he wrote on that paper....?

[@ronaldlevao8251]

"Please stop passing gas in court"

[@jeanhodgson8623]

My Dad said that he had just farted silently.

[@jeffputman3504]

What's happening there is, Mason is showing some evidence to the judge, who agrees that it is admissible. He then smiles because he now knows that he's going to win.

[@eugenecherny3871]

this first year theme is my favorite of the four. the tempo is slower, the drum is prominent, giving the theme a more ominous and film noir feel. also, in the early episodes Mason was more animated and combative, compared to a relatively monotone performance in his later episodes. still watching Perry Mason every night on Me TV. Always good!

[@VanWADebbie]

The defendant in this episode was Whitney Blake, the mother of Meredith Baxter. The real murderer was Vaughn Edwards` character.

[@jeanhodgson8623]

Imagine.

[@ohyeahtutorial]

Programa do Pede Mais Um.

[@TheMidknightryder13]

There are actually FOUR opens to this series. The other three feature the more-familiar font -- the one that was used in the TV-movies. This open is from Season 1. In two of the other opens only Raymond Burr appears on-screen. (The other actors only have their names shown. One version of that open does NOT have Ray Collins listed.) Until a few days ago, I didn't even know this open existed.

[@BlueBonnetGirl1]

I remember one opening where Perry was wearing a jacket that had a plaid print.

[@ABOVE639]

This theme is my favorite

[@wmbrown6]

There were also a few where William Talman was not mentioned, for reasons you may well know about.

[@bearfedway]

According to several news reports, theme composer Fred Steiner passed away June 23, 2011 at the age of 88. R.I.P. Mr. Steiner.

[@terrafirma91]

JubalCalif: You said it all here. Why aren't today's programs as good? I wouldn't have an answer to this. The cast was perfect in this. I always liked Hamilton Berger (Wm. Talman), exclaiming, "But, your Honor!?!". And Dennis Hopper was the ideal PI. Always on-the-go, on-the-ready. He never fully sat down in a chair, opting instead to partially sit on the edge of a table. Barbara Hale was the perfect Legal Secretary. Well poised, loyal, intelligent, no nonsense type with admirable charm.

[@wmbrown6]

Ya mean William Hopper as Paul Drake, don'tcha?

[@KrakenMan5853]

This series needs to come out on blu-ray!!!

[@marcinhohfj]

Aff o Chris tinha medo dessa merda?

Thank you CBS for posting this video. :)

[@VanWADebbie]

I still appreciate that CBS posted this video.

[@lancefoster5881]

I really like the featured position for the drum better than those other versions

[@farnumbp]

Raymond Burr looks like a kid in this The DA looks almost healthy too If only we could stay young :(

[@wmbrown6]

He lost a lot of weight for the role. He got slightly heavier by the end (almost as he would be when "Ironside" got started), but not outright obese as on the Mason reunion made-for-TV movies.

[@TheUsualSuspekt]

Damn I want this as a ringtone, minus the first .20 or so

[@Cowboy-vp2so]

I doubt that you’ll be reading this 12 years later, but you can now haha. I set this to be Daddy’s ringtone

[@wmbrown6]

It seems that "Perry Mason" as a series basically lived and died by Jackie Gleason. Its first time slot - Saturdays at 7:30 P.M. ET - was possible as Gleason ended his variety show at the end of the prior season (1956-57). In its last season on Saturdays (1961-62), it reached it highest point in the year-end Nielsens (#5), but unfortunately it would be shuffled to one time slot or another (and go down, down, down in the ratings) after Gleason came back to Saturday nights in 1962 for what would be an eight-year stay.

[@hourlynewscaster]

The cast was amazing. I especially enjoy seeing an older Ray Collins as Lt. Tragg. Every time I see him I think of his role as Boss Jim Gettys in "Citizen Kane" and his work as the announcer on the roof of the Broadcast Building in "The War of the Worlds" when he is overcome by the Martian gas. Ah, God how I miss "Perry Mason."

[@jeanhodgson8623]

It was funny how Tragg investigated every crime in L.A.

[@VanWADebbie]

Yes, it was the first Perry Mason shown. My research said that there were some episodes made in 1956 as pilots. There is one episode where a car has 1956 tag on the license plate. There a 39 episodes in the first season, 1957/58. The first 3 seasons were the best. The series ran out of Erle Stanley Gardiner material that there had to be som re-witten shows and some other writers.

[@BuddyNovinski]

@Laffington Actually, the books had the setting in the 1930's onward. Della Street's family lost its fortune in the stock market crash in 1929. The first case "The Howling Dog" takes place in 1933, and Mason's car has running boards. However, I do see your point. It gives the flavor of the times with cars built like boxes from Detroit, telephones with only rotary dials, and tape recorders only as reel-to-reel.

[@VanWADebbie]

Black and white is what makes this series a classic.

[@Kurosawa3]

Nothing beats the crane shot opening.

[@VanWADebbie]

Whitney Blake played the Restless Redhead. She was a looker in her later years. She is the first person you see in the series.

[@terrafirma91]

VanWADebbie: That's understandable, concerning Erle Stanley Gardiner's position about Raymond Burr. No other actor could have played the part as well. Some networks still air reruns, and they're still viewed by many that weren't born until years later. Excellent writers, too. I think what's sorely needed in TV programming today are good writers.

[@barrythomas7336]

I think this one is the first episode of the entire series.

[@aztiff]

The best Perry, the best!

[@jeanhodgson8623]

I used to watch the original runs of these with my Dad. He said that when Perry smiled, it was because he had just farted silently.

[@perennialbeachcomber.7518]

The classic opening title sequence, family!! Raymond Burr poured his life into the intriguing Perry Mason TV series. I particularly appreciate episodes such as "The Case of the Corresponding Corpse" (S02E01), featuring intriguing guest star *Joan Camden* who commands attention from the moment she makes her entrance as the character "Ruth Whittaker." For the same reason, *"Della Street"* is my favorite female regular; and Paul's *"Hello, Beautiful"* is precociously on point. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZmncYWmZa7GAhJI kzbin.info/www/bejne/fKC1h2yNmph7fKM

[@Sennmut]

Imagine a guy saying that to a woman today! Screams of agony from the Lefties et al.

[@Elainerulesutube]

does anyone know the name of the episode where Perry is testing out a handgun he accidently wounds himself and the next thing he is interviewing a witness in court with his arm in a sling. Can anyone please, once and for all, solve this mystery-I have a feeling it may be in the first or second series-can anyone help?

[@kendallrivers1119]

Funny seeing them all so young and Hopper and Burr so thin but not my favorite variation of the intro. I'm glad they perfected it by season 3

[@theresabennett8855]

what episode is this scene from or was there a episode where they had this scene in it?

[@coramitchell4042]

It's my favorite too.

[@VanWADebbie]

Erle Stanley Gardiner`s estate has said that no one will replace Raymond Burr as Perry Mason. No more shows or movies.

[@therealtornadosam]

Too bad they broke that by making new Perry Mason series starring Matthew Rhys this year.

The strange case of the prosecutors sitting at the same table as the defense.

[@Sennmut]

Small budget, small courtroom.

[@GlamRockCowboy]

There's one thing that puzzles me here: In this episode, the defense and the prosecution teams are seated together at the same table, yet in subsequent episodes, they're at separate tables on the opposite sides. Why was this?

[@YourLocalGummiBearsFan]

i Dare Someone to Put The Office Theme or The Parks and Recreation Theme Over This.

[@coyotesong]

@Laffington that's a damn fine idea. I also like the Clooney casting. Or how about Robert Downey Jr.?

[@karenann5090]

I love the first season opening and closing theme song. Very sexy!

[@GumbaMasta]

@VanWADebbie Hello, Spoilers! Some of us havent caught up to the newer episodes yet.

[@VanWADebbie]

I`ve wondered for years why are they sitting together at the same table.

[@44032]

@midmodgal They switched it for the second season and then got rid of them altogether.

[@otrwp79]

Every time I see this intro I wonder why Burger and Tragg are sitting where they are.

[@Jowee_P2W]

@Laffington I agree George Clooney would be perfect.

[@burmppootbarpmeep]

lets hear it for ernie frankel!

[@mralmeister1]

@Laffington Clooney would be the man.
