Perry Mason - The Complete Third Season - Volume One (DVD, 2008, Multi-disc Set)

I bought the Perry Mason season 3 vol.I. The video quality is great, the swing panel hinge on the case that holds 2 disks was broken, but a little heat fixed that. Overall the dvds live up to the first 2 seasons.

The product shipped promptly and I received it super fast! Everything was as promised. Excellent rating! Thanks!

fast service great quality. what i was looking for in my perry mason collection. nice cover with all the dvd's in side and great looking.

"You're that lawyer, aren’t you?" a reluctant material witness addresses the impeccably dressed man asking questions about her soon-to-be-murdered boyfriend. Yep, he's Perry Mason, and his reputation precedes him. In "The Case of the Lucky Legs," one of this three-disc set's twelve black-and-white episodes, a policeman who finds Mason at a crime scene greets him with an impressed, "Well." Mason inspires that kind of admiration with yet another heavy caseload of seemingly guilty clients on trial for murder. Episode after episode, one can only marvel at Mason's courtroom cunning that will allow him to identify the real culprit and make him or her squirm on the witness stand until they confess. The cleverly plotted episodes unfold with compelling twists and turns. In "The Case of the Spurious Sister," a husband is understandably confused that his no-good gambler wife, whose murder he ill-advisedly tried to cover up, should apparently turn up in Las Vegas and sue him for divorce. In "The Case of the Garrulous Gambler," a blackmail scam worthy of David Mamet takes a deadly turn. In only one memorable episode can viewers be absolutely certain of the innocence of Mason's client; it's private detective Paul Drake (William Hopper), who has been charged with the murder of a philandering married man who was involved in a hit and run. Through it all, Mason is characteristically cool and confident. In "The Case of Paul Drake's Dilemma," he jokes that his only concern about Paul is that he will be able to pay Mason's bill. Now and then, Mason will resort to unconventional methods to see that justice is done. In "The Case of the Blushing Pearls," he stages a little arson to roust a suspect from his hotel room. A Saturday night staple during its Emmy-winning nine season run, Perry Mason's pleasures are many, from Fred Steiner's indelible theme song, "Park Avenue Beat" to the character actors with the B-movie names (Lisabeth Hush in "Lucky Legs") and Mason's epilogue summations prompted by his befuddled staff ("Well, there's only thing I don't understand…."). This volume is a must for fans of Erle Stanley Gardner's iconic character who are compiling Mason's complete case history.

Bought the second volume, so I had to get the first too. Have watched the previous Perry Mason seasons and loved them! Wonderful tv series!

Perry Mason has to be the best coutroom drama ever. I love how his mind works and how he always figures out the next step in his defense case. The shows always ends with him winning. The characters are interesting and intellegent and entertaining.

Very nice, quick service! Got exactly what I wanted. Thank you! Decided to buy it because it was the bet deal.

If you like classic tv at its best, then you'll love Perry Mason. The Third Season volume 1 is just as well-acted and well-written as the first 2 years. It's hard to believe that such quality was around in the 50s. Enjoy.

It's too bad they don't make tv programs of that quality anymore. You don't need blood, gratuitous violence, swearing and sex to have an interesting program. Thank goodness we can still watch some 'safe' tv.
