I'm still chipping away at the stack of Perry Mason DVDs. There were 9 seasons and they each were packed with episodes. I just got the DVD set of the 30 movies but no idea when I'll have time to get around to them. I'm enjoying them when they are on and still plan to finish of the series at some point. At the rate I'm going it should take a year or three.
The fifth season of Perry Mason started in September 1961 and there were 30 episodes. Those were the days, huh, large numbers of episodes each season. Raymond Burr, Barbara Hale and William Hopper are Perry Mason, his secretary Della Street and PI Paul Drake. There the usual stuff going on in each episode. We meet some people, one of them gets murdered, Mason's client gets charged with murder.
There's plenty of good guest stars. You might remember Ben Cooper, James Dury, Tommy Noonan, Jackie Coogan, Sue Ann Langdon, Alejandro Rey, Dick Foran, Paul Lambert, DeForest Kelly, Alan Hale Jr, J Pat O'Malley, Harry Carey Jr, Jay Novello, ZaSu Pitts, Mark Roberts, Victor Buono, Jesse White, James Coburn, John Marley, Otto Kruger, Burt Reynolds, Jeff Morrow, Rex Reason, Robert Cornthwaite, Ivan Dixon and Geraldine Brooks.
