Perry Mason: Season 7, Vol. 2

Love perry

I have not seen the actual dvds (I did purchase the dvds after posting review- good quality dvds once again by CBS), but I have seen these episdoes on rerun on the ME-TV channel. This season seemed better than season six and eight. The stories were better and contained the good list of guest stars. Among the episodes that I enjoyed were: The Frightened Fisherman(excellent plot) Drowsy Mosquito (with Arthur Hunnicutt (from El Dorado with John Wayne) and Strother Martin), Case of the misplaced shoe box (guest star Billy Mumy from Lost in Space), Case of the 50 millionth Frenchman (Good plot and a quirky character for the client and guest star David McCallum from Man from Uncle and CSI),Case of the Antic Angel (guest star Peter Breck of the Big Valley), Case of the Deadly Verdict (only case Perry Mason lost and a cameo by Ray Collins as Lt. Tragg). The picture quality for this season seemed excellent. The black white had a bolder contrast and less of of a gray look. I'm not sure if it was a better copy of the master or if the film quality and lighting was better in the mid 1960s vs. the 1950s. I thought the first four seasons contained the best work of the series but would recommend cherry picking season seven over some of the other weaker later seasons.

As time progressed with this tv series naturally things changed. This season brought about less time in the office and less time with Della (some shows she doesn't appear in at all) and more time with Paul and Gertie. What I did find were interesting locations similar to season one where we got to see a little bit of 50's Los Angeles. Another thing I noticed was several shows took place in other towns with different prosecutors, judges and courtrooms. The most notable change to me was in Perry Mason's appearance. He appeared much older and heavier and did not appear as charming and vibrant as in other seasons. Perhaps this was due to his health problems.Clear to me was the definite improvement in story lines. Before this arrived I had begun rewatching season one and you could clearly see how much the characters and story lines had matured.The quality of the DVD's is excellant. I had had no difficulty with picture or sound. I look forward to the next set coming out and do wish they would not dole them out in partials just like everyone else wishes.

Perry loses a case!

This season has Lt. Anderson largely (if not completely) taking over for the beloved Lt. Tragg, but the quality holds up all the same! Andy was fine, he just was no Tragg... :)This set also features several episodes where Barbara Hale is noticeably absent...still trying to find out why that was. Della is sorely missed in those episodes, and the certainly lack something important she brings to the show, but it is still enjoyable to watch Perry trap murderers and embarrass law enforcement and district attorneys! It is also kind of neat to see a little more Gertie and to have Paul Drake take on a more involved role to try and make up for Ms. Hale's absence.As with all of these half-seasons, they are horribly over-priced...but I'm still willing to shell out every so often for my much needed dose of Perry!

I have brought all nine season of perry mason and I love each and everyone of them

If you are a Raymond Burr fan, you will enjoy this show inspired by the mystery novels of Earl Stanley Gardner. Revisit the past, the hairstyles, clothes, cars and ethics of a bygone era. Both the regular cast and special guests will take you down a cinematic memory lane as well.The DVDs arrived promptly and we're well packaged.

So enjoy this classic program, which was so well-written and acted. Delivery was quick. Highly recommend.

Good acting and storylines as usual Still seeing familiar faces from yesteryear, including a young Ryan O'Neal, pre Peyton Place and of course Love Story. A young David MCullum, pre The Man From Uncle. An aging Tom Conway (this was 1957 and he had health problems and died in 1967) He was was better known as the brother of George Sanders. His first big break was the 1940s RKO series The Falcon. More or less a Hollywood version take off of The Saint. In the same episode we saw Victor Bouno (Whatever Happened To Baby Jane) in a suitable creepy performance.

Perry Mason (Raymond Burr) continues to shine in the courtroom in this 1960's seminal TV series. The plots are getting more complicated and some bigger names are joining as guest stars, but what I love is the reassuring continuance of Perry's support staff, ie, Barbara Hale as faithful secretary, Della Street, and William Hopper as his daring private investigator. They don't make 'em like this any more, which is a great shame! Terrific value for money. Excellent prints.

Great quality and super swift delivery
