At 50 something my wife and I are watching the series again. Used to watch Perry M in 1985 on tv during lunch break. In retrospect I can say this show gave us awesome examples of what integrity looked like.
Love the little fun interplay with Burger and Perry at the end there. This cast was amazing as actors but also the chemistry amongst them all was so genuine and fun to watch. You could tell they all actually loved working with each other and another reason why the idea of recasting this series is an automatic failure. You can't replace that magical chemistry with random actors
They were all willing to walk off set when the producers wanted to fire William Talman over being busted at a "Hollywood Pot Party" and was being extorted by a gossip magazine. Remember, "Paul Drake" was played by William Hopper, the Hearst syndicate gossip columnist Hedda Hopper's son- there was some serious Hollywood juice on that set! 😊
@@bold810 No offense intended, but that's not really what happened. Cast members were ready to walk off the set - so, why didn't they? There was no point in extorting Talman. He'd been busted, charged, and fired. The charges against him were dismissed for lack of proof. CBS fired him, anyway. He was not seen for almost 20 episodes, brought back after a letter writing campaign and, eventually, pressure Burr from the show's producer, Gail Patrick Jackson. Everyone missed their Ham Burger! Best wishes from Vermont 🍁
Talman got suspended by CBS over a wrong place wrong time encounter with cops and Raymond Burr and producer Gail Patrick Jackson made a point of going to bat for Talnsn
So much talent on one set. My head is ready to explode. Interesting, almost...fascinating, how Nimoy almost always played emotional villians before the Mr. Spock role.
Boy, Leonard Nimoy outside his Good Guy Role as Mr. Spock, he also played a villain on Perry Mason, The Man From U.N.C.L.E. and in the 1971 Western Film Catlow as Miller God Bless This Man, R.I.P. Mr. Spock Live Long and Prosper Upstairs
The majority of Nimoy's pre-Spock roles were as villains. A couple of exceptions were Highway Patrol (his carelessness causes radioactive dust to accidentally be released...not quite a villain role) and his second Outer Limits episode "I, Robot", where he plays a wise-ass reporter.
Perry Mason and Matlock are the only courtroom dramas I've ever watched and enjoyed, it helps that they're actually mystery\detective shows with their profession of lawyers and the courtroom being more of a backdrop because Mason and Matlock were like Sherlock Holmes as attorneys lol but anyway, what I love most is that Perry and Ben are badasses who are actually decent and honorable human beings that believe in justice for INNOCENT clients and not represented as scum bags who defend scum and are smug about defending that scum not caring if they destroy an innocent victim or not. Both are GREAT series
As a kid, I thought mr Burger was a bad guy. Lol! Obviously, he is the one opposing Perry Mason in the cases and has a grump demeanor. Perry has a very charming demeanor. But at some point I realized that they are both good guys doing their jobs.
You can tell that Burger is on the side of angels when he gets that bent out of shape over false testimony that could have won him the case. Then again, anyone who was paying attention would have known for some time at that point that the hapless Burger was always after the truth rather than a notch in the win column. In fact, I would put forth that Burger probably considered most, if not all, of Mason’s wins a win for himself and the judicial system as well, because justice was served in every one of those cases. And then he likely got to prosecute some of the actual guilty parties. I also like to think Burger had a stellar record against defense attorneys not named Perry Mason. And I love how Paul Drake is all casual while Tragg takes the guilty party into custody. Likely he would have helped if needed, but it’s refreshing to see this versus the modern crime series where the system never gets it right and needs civilians to do their jobs for them.
AWESOME TV SHOW AND AND ICONIC SCENE AND A TALENTED A WONDERFUL CAST RIP RAYMOND BURR 😢 AND EXCELLENT EPISODE I'M A HUGE FAN OF THE PERSON MASON TV SHOW WHAT A LEGENDARY SHOW. AND A WONDERFUL CAST
Must comment that the picture quality of this video from Perry Mason is awesome. Close-ups, mid-shots and even distance shorts are crystal clear. Spock, referred to here, is Leonard Nimoy. I remember Mr. Nimoy in some episodes from Sea Hunt with Lisa Gaye, as also one from Wagon Train: The Tiburcio Mendez Story, also co-starring Lisa Gaye.
I personally like the fact that, although they fought like cats and dogs in court, on a personal level, Mason and Burger actually liked and respected each other. Also, I should point out that, on numerous occasions, Burger displayed an innate sense of decency and fairness, and a strict regard for justice, that few such officials display in this day and age. In one case particularly, Burger stood up and said to the Court, "Your Honor, the function of the District Attorney's Office IS TO PROTECT THE INNOCENT, as well as punish the guilty!" (emphasis mine) How many public prosecutors today would stand up in open court and say something like that? Not many, I'll warrant!
I even remember a case where Burger asked Mason to defend a friend. Someone else prosecuted the case while Burger sat in the back and rooted for Mason.
Ultimately Perry and Hamilton respected each other no matter how opposed they were. It was the chemistry that Burr and Talman had that made their rivalry so fun. I wish that the later movies could've found a proper prosecutor like Hamilton Burger was. Davis Ogden Stiers is great but he just couldn't do it for me. William Talman as Hamilton is a tough act to follow
It look so odd to see Leonard Nimoy showing so much emotion and animation compared to his other character Mr. Spock who is so remarkably composed and emotionless.
In another case, Drifting Dropout, there is a more implicit way they all ganged up, as Mason gave a witness small pieces of evidence, then connected the dots, suddenly throwing the clincher statement revealing the witness. An excellent bit of camera work captures Mason literally in the witness's face, the witness, trapped, looking at Burger as Burger glares back, then to the judge, who gives a stern look, until finally the witness gives a sorrowful look down and says "I - killed him"
@Silvio Manuel How about the time Mason has a female witness look around in court, then GRABS HER FROM BEHIND, and presses a piece of paper to her lips, just to get a lip print, which turns out to be the key evidence to reveal the killer?
+dave mustaine Well, in a way , you are right. Mr. William Talman (Hamilton Burger) was once quoted as saying, "Hamilton Burger never loses. How can a district attorney lose, when they fail to convict an *INNOCENT* person?" (As an aside, Mr. Perry Mason only ever lost three of his cases. )
@@kathleenball7489 Yes Case of the Lame Canary, perhaps the only time when Mason, Burger, and the recently let off defendant, all had a friendly gathering in Mason's office.
RIP RAYMOND BURR , AND WILLAM TALMAN AND BARBARA HALE , AND THE ACTOR WHO PORTRAYED PAUL DRAKE AND RAY COLLINS , AND LENORD NIMOY. WHAT A TALENTED SHOW
Just saw the whole episode ("The Case of the Shoplifter's Shoe") from the library. Leonard N. smacked his wife around too and smiles and smiles...Aired '63.
+jmmacb03 I always liked this one. By 1963, Ray Collins was ill and it shows. He only made a few appearances that year (last episode was in January, 1964)
Captain Kirk, this planet has infected me with all sorts of murderous human emotions - and this local alien life is trying to put me in a cage - BEAM ME UP, QUICK!
@Rich Elliott...pithy and excellent! Maybe with Donald, (gloves off, with impeachment now), Hillary WILL go to jail...with time off for good behaviour! LOL. Thanks.
I like the details, such as the detective who drops his cigarette and grinds it under his shoe just before coming forward to help with the collar of the new suspect.
"Live long and prosper". -Dr. Spock played by Leonard Nimoy. Watching this made me think about how cool he was, in movies and in life. The man knew a great deal about art.
Lt. Tragg always looked so old in this series. Ray Collins was a good actor, but I think most police departments require their detectives to retire before they get that old.
@trwent....they knew it at that time, too. But, Ray Collins was so damned skillful...And, without his chemistry, the series would have taken a real hit. When Ray stopped acting by 1963, his name was left on the credits, and the replacements never had quite the 'feel", as Ray Collins had for that roll. thanks.
It was awesome to watch how they try to replace burger in his small hiatus from the show the actors all tried to imitate burger but it just did nt work thank goodness they decided to bring him back.
What was the trick Nimoy did with a penny coin? I only caught the end of the episode and Perry Mason accused Nimoy of using it as some sort of alert. What gives?
I just watch some of this episode on Amazon. At the 35:35 mark, Perry and Paul find a penny coin in the lamp. It was later explained as a way to blow a fuse to alert and keep it dark for the thief. I guess it would do that. Another possibe flaw is Tragg later says two bullets were fired from the little semi-auto purse gun. Unless they found the ejected shell casings you would not be able to tell how many shots were fired.
Burger always wore the narrowest ties I have ever seen. I did not know they ever made ties that narrow; you certainly cannot get one like that today anywhere that I know of.
Indeed, Brad! Leonard was also in a classic Columbo episode called "Double Shock." He plays 2 parts (twin brothers) who mastermind a scheme to kill their uncle. One of my fave episodes. Shatner is also plays Detective Lucerne in "Fade Into Murder." If you're a TV buff like me you probably saw Bill in those Twilight Zone classics, "Nightmare at 20,000 Feet" and "Nick of Time." Thanks for your response! :-)
Soneone would always knock on a door only to find it open, then walk in and find a body...then suddenly Lt Tragg would pop out and arrest him, on the way out letting Perry know there was no escape for his client this time !!
Leonard was good at playing thugs in his early career. In the 1950s he was a thug in episodes of Dragnet and Highway Patrol and I'm sure others that I haven't seen.
This is my first time watching the old series, and I have to say it's pretty darn good for a 50s show. Tragg is played a bit too over the top though, in my opinion
The 50s was the first golden age of television (then came the 60's, 70's, 80's and early 90's) . Tv was completely fresh so every show was new and that's why most shows from that era like Lucy or Perry Mason, The Honeymooners, Jack Benny, The Twilight Zone etc. Are timeless classics.

Looks like Burger really "Grilled" Mr. Spock!
And he grilled him with relish.
Spock showing a lot of emotion. LOL
If i had to pick between Perry Mason and Mr. Spock, as my lawyer. I'd pick Perry. Spock can be, so....emotional.
Plus, he was not a lawyer.
Sorry Mr. Spock, you cannot out logic Perry Mason................
Fascinating!
Wow, I like the mutual respect that Mason and Burger had with each other, despite being bitter rivals.
@Paul Kryder 🤦♀️
Actually, they were friends outside of court. They went hunting together sometimes.
Talman got suspended by CBS over a wrong place wrong time encounter with cops and Raymond Burr and producer Gail Patrick Jackson made a point of going to bat for Talnsn
They certainly hit their target here!!
4 of my favorite actors, from 2 of my favorite shows!
all the actors are good, remember they were all in the movies before tv and knew their craft
Perry Mason and Hamilton Burger, simply the best!
So much talent on one set. My head is ready to explode. Interesting, almost...fascinating, how Nimoy almost always played emotional villians before the Mr. Spock role.
I think people are so used to his Mister Spock persona (perhaps also his excellent In Search Of narrations) that his range gets forgotten
Boy, Leonard Nimoy outside his Good Guy Role as Mr. Spock, he also played a villain on Perry Mason, The Man From U.N.C.L.E. and in the 1971 Western Film Catlow as Miller
God Bless This Man, R.I.P. Mr. Spock

He was also on gunsmoke
He also did an outstanding turn on Columbo "A Stitch in Crime" one of VERY few bad guys to actually piss Columbo off lol
@Paul Kryder After Star Trek
He's also a humorless KAOS killer in a "Get Smart" episode that he did in between the two Trek pilots.
“I can’t believe my ears!”
“I can’t believe you’re ears, either!”
🤣
Love the Paul Drake character...would've loved him saying to me, like he does Della quite often, "Hello, Beautiful!" :)
Perry Mason was an excellent series. There was some very good acting on the show.
Perry Mason and Matlock are the only courtroom dramas I've ever watched and enjoyed, it helps that they're actually mystery\detective shows with their profession of lawyers and the courtroom being more of a backdrop because Mason and Matlock were like Sherlock Holmes as attorneys lol but anyway, what I love most is that Perry and Ben are badasses who are actually decent and honorable human beings that believe in justice for INNOCENT clients and not represented as scum bags who defend scum and are smug about defending that scum not caring if they destroy an innocent victim or not. Both are GREAT series
Good acting. I must have missed that episode.
As a kid, I thought mr Burger was a bad guy. Lol! Obviously, he is the one opposing Perry Mason in the cases and has a grump demeanor. Perry has a very charming demeanor. But at some point I realized that they are both good guys doing their jobs.
You can tell that Burger is on the side of angels when he gets that bent out of shape over false testimony that could have won him the case.
Then again, anyone who was paying attention would have known for some time at that point that the hapless Burger was always after the truth rather than a notch in the win column.
In fact, I would put forth that Burger probably considered most, if not all, of Mason’s wins a win for himself and the judicial system as well, because justice was served in every one of those cases. And then he likely got to prosecute some of the actual guilty parties.
I also like to think Burger had a stellar record against defense attorneys not named Perry Mason.
And I love how Paul Drake is all casual while Tragg takes the guilty party into custody. Likely he would have helped if needed, but it’s refreshing to see this versus the modern crime series where the system never gets it right and needs civilians to do their jobs for them.

There actors, dummy.
You probably worship rocks don't you
I don't care who Leonard Nimoy plays, I just love hearing his voice !
Craggy Lt. Tragg was working well past retirement age into his 70s.
Scotty! They've found me out! One to beam up!
Better also beam up that doctor in COLUMBO: A STITCH IN CRIME
It's crazy weird seeing Mr Spock with a snappy haircut instead of his Star Trek bowl job.
I'M A FAN OF THE PERRY MASON TV SHOW FULL OF MYSTERY AND SUSPENSE ITS JUST LIKE ALFRED HITCHCOCK MOVIES ITS A MEMORABLE SHOW .
It look so odd to see Leonard Nimoy showing so much emotion and animation compared to his other character Mr. Spock who is so remarkably composed and emotionless.
Indeed. People forget Leonard Nimoy’s versitility, shown here and also in such episodes as DRAGNET: BIG BOYS
Excellent. "Cross examine. "
Spock was also on Sea Hunt and many other late-1950s shows.
One of Nimoy's strongest. performances was as a murderous doctor on Columbo.
Perry points Burger like a loaded Doberman, and just lets him go for the throat. They're very dangerous when they team up on a suspect.
In another case, Drifting Dropout, there is a more implicit way they all ganged up, as Mason gave a witness small pieces of evidence, then connected the dots, suddenly throwing the clincher statement revealing the witness.

"You know Perry, maybe for once..........I was wrong.........on *THIS* case!!" ~ Bless Mr. Burger, his win \loss ratio against Perry is abysmal.
OMG, the Cleveland Browns laugh at his win percentage against Perry Mason...
Burger never lost.

Nice to see Nimoy playing a villain for a change!
1:36 I don't think I've ever heard Nimoy reach that high a pitch before.
Can't believe his voice either.
Alex Palmer He was a heavy smoker, died from COPD complications...in 1961...his voice hadn’t been as affected by smoking yet.
Good thing Dr. McCoy didn't see that; Spock would have never heard the end of it.
@@littlejohnny9439 How very true, my friend - I suppose Spock would say that Mr. Chinnery's reactions were, and are, highly illogical.
Lt.Tragg is one fine detective ! ! He puts barney five to shame ! ! BERNARD P. FIFE M.D. DOCTOR OF WHAT ? MAYBERRY DEPUTY ! !👍👍👍👍
Ya gotta love Tragg. He's so cornball but cagey as all hell.
Last night at the end of the episode, with a bird in a cage someone said the bird was "a canary who was a stool pigeon " and then they all laughed.
@@kathleenball7489 Yes Case of the Lame Canary, perhaps the only time when Mason, Burger, and the recently let off defendant, all had a friendly gathering in Mason's office.

He should have used the Vulcan nerve pinch.
Damn, beat me to it...
How about the Vulcan loaf pinch 🍞 💩 🚽

Well, where'd he go? Mr. Burger, he just disappeared from jail without a trace!
Facinating!
Spock, you're betraying emotions.
Kroykah!
Kudos to the plastic surgeon. You'd never know he was a Vulcan
too bad Berger wasn't the prosecutor in Hillary's case
What case? There has never been a court case in which Hillary was the defendant. And there never will be.
@Rich Elliott...pithy and excellent! Maybe with Donald, (gloves off, with impeachment now), Hillary WILL go to jail...with time off for good behaviour! LOL. Thanks.
Wouldn't do any good if Perry Mason defended her.
'Spock to Enterprise! Emergency beam-up!'
Would be a REAL good time for Spock to warp out of there...
I like the details, such as the detective who drops his cigarette and grinds it under his shoe just before coming forward to help with the collar of the new suspect.
I only watched Perry Mason to see Hamilton Burger!😚💋
it was the old lady!! the kid!! Mr Spock your emotions betray you.
"Live long and prosper". -Dr. Spock played by Leonard Nimoy. Watching this made me think about how cool he was, in movies and in life. The man knew a great deal about art.

mixed with a little bit of the old Corbomite Maneuver.
Gets them every time.
When will they ever learn?

That's because he WAS old.
Fascinating
Clearly, a generational difference in acting.
Interesting to see that Leonard Nimoy seemed to play jerks and bad guys before mister Spock
This is SO cool!

Ham Burger. Get it?
Kerry Helm I always nicknamed Hamilton Berger "Ol' Hamburger". Lol
I am sorry to admit, I never picked up on that.
Kerry Helm Ham Burger the Hot Dog
We all get it...and have for some time.
I wonder if he had a wife who was named after cheese. His wife’s name could have been Brie.
Burger always wore the narrowest ties I have ever seen. I did not know they ever made ties that narrow; you certainly cannot get one like that today anywhere that I know of.
muy buenos los videos de perry mason pero por favor en version en español latino verlo
No Bowl cut and he forgets the nerve pinch.
Omg Mr spock
I liked the light hearted moments between Perry and Hamilton. Do you have any more?
So cool to see Leonard Nimoy in a earlier role!
Phaser on stun, Spock.
That would have been a plot twist for the ages :)
Indeed, Brad! Leonard was also in a classic Columbo episode called "Double Shock." He plays 2 parts (twin brothers) who mastermind a scheme to kill their uncle. One of my fave episodes. Shatner is also plays Detective Lucerne in "Fade Into Murder." If you're a TV buff like me you probably saw Bill in those Twilight Zone classics, "Nightmare at 20,000 Feet" and "Nick of Time."

Bob, it was Martin Landau who played the twins in "Double Shock". Nimoy played a surgeon who commits murder in "A Stitch in Crime".
1:38-1:40 I'd love to hear Spock say that to Kirk and McCoy.
😂
Give him the Vulcan death grip, Spock!
Can you imagine if a D.A. and police lieutenant were wrong 100% of the time.
Mr Spock looks like Frankenstein ... haha
I think you mean Frankenstein's MONSTER.
Spock use the Vulcan grip on them to get away.
You honor I place an objection before this court room.
Leonard Nimoy played an awfully good bad guy. This and Columbo come to mind.
Wow! Look at Leonard Nimoy! He looks so different!
DeForrest Kelly and George Takai were also on episodes of Perry Mason:-):-):-)
Spock wouldn't have been rattled so easily. He would have seen every rational (logical) scenario and countered with a calm, measured answer.
Soneone would always knock on a door only to find it open, then walk in and find a body...then suddenly Lt Tragg would pop out and arrest him, on the way out letting Perry know there was no escape for his client this time !!
I've never seen in any courtroom a police detective sit with the d.a.
I know it's fiction but tragg
should sit with the people.
Also he looks too old to be just a lieutenant.
What an emotional human he was then.
Don't you miss the days when there was a semblance of truth and justice . Rest well .
Spock won't live long and prosper. He was too illogical.
DeForest Kelley was in the episode "The Case of the Unwelcome Bride".
Hamilton Burger, Ham Burger
I love how he was more versatile than just Spock. Here he looks like an Asian gangster.
Leonard was good at playing thugs in his early career. In the 1950s he was a thug in episodes of Dragnet and Highway Patrol and I'm sure others that I haven't seen.
He was one of the best...an icon for sure.
He was ruthless in a Columbo episode also, lol..
I vaguely remember that Columbo episode but haven't seen it in 40 years or so.
Spock’s in trouble
Mason defends!
Too much scotch for Mr Scotty perhaps??
Because it seems that he had accidentally BEAMED Mr Spock onto a set on Perry Mason 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Get your filthy hands OFF of the doctor!
This is my first time watching the old series, and I have to say it's pretty darn good for a 50s show. Tragg is played a bit too over the top though, in my opinion
The 50s was the first golden age of television (then came the 60's, 70's, 80's and early 90's) . Tv was completely fresh so every show was new and that's why most shows from that era like Lucy or Perry Mason, The Honeymooners, Jack Benny, The Twilight Zone etc. Are timeless classics.
Spock attempting to defeat logic?!
Boy, THAT scared me when he jumped up like that and confessed...I did it, I did it, YOU did it, Perry.
What do you mean by "for once" Mr D.A Hamilton? You virtually lost every case on the show... 🤣🤣🤣
Mr. Burger always loses a case i wonder if he ever won a case??
Who's that woman in the background? She's hot.
She sure is
