- Great Sampler of Episodes
- WOW. Nice collection of Perry Mason episodes.
Plus lots of extras.
Never have watch the TV series. But I have seen all the Perry Mason movies from the late 80's/Early 90's.
So, this will be a good source to test the waters of the TV series.
Plus you also get the first Perry Mason TV movie.
Great Job Paramount. Three Cheers to You. - 2008-02-15, 3 of 12 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- The United Kingdom view
- There are many fans of Perry here in the UK. Just bring out on DVD in a structured way the remaining TV episodes. This 50th celebration is just an attempt to make money from Perry Mason fans. It won't. It just pisses us off.

- Please release all the Seasons
- Please release all the seasons before I lack the money or mental capacity to enjoy them.
This pricing - dribble out model will probably not build momentum with the core fan base who will buy all the episodes if the other reviews are a fair sample, and will definitely not create new fans who view it as a differentiated, luxury product, which the Anniversary edition is attempting. Those of us who grew up with the series will buy it if the current DVD producers use the volume strategy while there is volume there. Whoever reads these reviews for Amazon and provides feedback to manufacturers should ask the DVD producers some hard business questions. - 2008-02-08, 8 of 13 people found this review helpful, Rated:

This is not the Perry Mason DVD I was waiting for. I expected Season Three Vol. 1. I have spent good money on starting my collection of all 9 seasons of the Perry Mason television series. I grew up watching Perry Mason from the very first season. I am not going to buy this edition. I will eventually get the shows from the 50th Anniversay DVD when they are released in the season's Collection. I would also like to see Perry Mason released in full seasons. Stop this Season Two, Volume one bit. Release the full season in one package and be done with it. I also believe the studios are charging too high of a price as compared to some other tv series. - 2008-02-08, 12 of 17 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- It beats the alternative
- I will buy this product although I would prefer Season 3. I watch these with my elderly parents ... the old Perry Masons are our favorite. However at the rate the half seasons are released, I'll be lucky if I'm still alive when the last season is available --- let alone my parents.
Speaking of things popular in the mid-1950's. Remember the two-seater retro Thunderbird that Ford produced a few years ago? In my opinion, the reason it didn't sell well is the demographics of those who would buy them were too old by the time it was released. Ford waited too long. My personal proof was when I saw a lady get out of hers carrying an oxygen bottle. More obvious proof is the retro Mustang, first introduced a decade after the Thunderbird, sells much better. The point of this is if these Perry Mason episodes are available Viacom, or who ever, better release them before their target market goes senile.
That said, some thing is better than nothing because who would've ever imagined back in the day that any of this ancient TV shows would be available on little chrome-plated plastic discs. The 50th anniversary edition may not be ideal for us diehard fans, but it beats the alternative --- nothing. - 2008-02-06, 7 of 10 people found this review helpful, Rated:
