As a child in Russia we had a channel for English speaking programmes.

I recall a lawyer called Petrocelli ?

Was he popular here or did we get your 3rd rate leftovers?

I like watching matlock more.  But he really didn't do too much legal stuff.  Just send tyler out to investigate somebody, then get the real killer to confess on the stand in the last 8 minutes of the episode.

Perry Mason does actually give legal advice and take into account possession of evidence and guilty knowledge.

Plus Perry mason had more episodes as well as 30 movies.  He's got Matlock beat on experience.

As far as better lawyer, is Perry.  As far as more entertaining to watch, its Matlock.

He ran for 2 seasons back in the 70s?  Everybody who heard of him over here is dead or in a nursing home.

@Legs11
I’ve never seen that show but I remember Dad always talking about it. I seem to remember he said Petrocelli was an attorney who drove around in a pick up truck and helped people.

If working w/in the confines of the law, Kim Wexler was a better attorney than Chuck , Howard,   or Jimmy .

Never heard of it but the guest stars list is a who’s who of 70’s and 80’s stars…

Agreed, Perry also had 35-36 episodes per season in the early years.

Perry Mason will always be #1. From about 5-13 years old I spent several weeks with my grandma each summer (she lived on the coast) and almost every day we ate lunch and watched Perry together. Good times!

I watched Petrocelli mainly because Barry Newman was the main character in Vanishing Point.

To answer OP, Perry was a much better lawyer.

Paul Drake was da man.  Always had a cigarette, fancy hair, tailored suit...  I wonder how many times Raymond Burr hit on him.

Lt Tragg was always a loser too.  They'd hand him a gun to identify.  Tragg would always say: "Yes, that's my mark. "
I would always think: what kind of unique mark did he make on those guns?

Perry, even though he was a homo like Raymond Burr was. Perry had to be because I'd have been all over Della every chance I got.
