The word "sucks" should be reserved for this quality of show. Ignoring any attempts to mentally connect this show to any of the previous Perry Mason shows, standing all by itself, it absolutely sucks.
This really reminds me of the "Lost In Space" debacle. If you want to make a ridiculously bad show, why try to connect it to something that actually had some worth? People will see after the first episode that there is no real connection.
