Thanks Tom - my son recorded the series & brought it over but I havent watched it yet. will do. Just watched the 2 seasons of Perry Mason - a very different view from the old tv series. But it was interesting - kept my attention right to the end. With my usual recorded shows being off the past months - lucky I have Roku.

The Perry Mason series is much closer to the original stories, with some 2023 updates that make it better.

I really liked it - actors did a great job - believable!! Now if they just dont cancel it. Two of my favorites already have been - Joe Pickett (CJ Box) AND the Jon Stewart show on Apple. Seems Apple didnt want the issues Jon Stewart covers!!!!!!!

And yet - all those so-called reality things - for all those dead braincells, I guess.

It's a limited series, can't go more than another season before coming to the end.

well, it's gonna be, consider how long Billy lived.and once you bring in Pat Garrett, the conclusion is the conclusion, unless you're one of those Billy the Kid Death Truthers, in which case...

Sorry - in the middle of writing to my 2 Senators - telling them how I feel about the current revenge tour of ;the Israelis.

Time for the US to back off & start thinking. Past time. WE are not on the side of right at this point. Maybe there is no right side - who knows.

Its going to come back to haunt this country.

I dug the shit out of it and was looking forward to more.

unfortunately, it was canceled. if enough fans object, it wouldn't be the first time a canceled series was continued on a different venue. but, as every "expert" on "media" will tell you, times have changed.

the era of the Great Cable Series is, they say, DONE. there will be more great ones (there always are), but those days of everyone you know waiting anxiously for Sunday to roll around have definitely gone.

Cancelled because of the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes and WBD's desperate attempt to sell off the family jewels to pay the debt of letting the poor cousins get access to the jewels to begin with.
