I have listen on Radio before TV. Watched as soon as he was on TV in 50s, Spent every Saturday watching and watch re-runs now. Have all books. This IS NOT PERRY MASON, he is not a cursing, smoking, farmer. When he holds a cigarette that’s all he does, and NEVER CURSES. Della a laugh. If I had to look forward to listening or watching this dribble I don’t know how I would have spent Saturday nights while my husband was working.. shoot whoever came up with this. Very Disappointed but not surprised, don’t re-make a Classic doesn’t work.
