Among the 14 cases that conclude Perry Mason's compelling third season is something of a Very Special Episode. In "The Case of the Prudent Prosecutor," district attorney Hamilton Burger (William Talman), usually outwitted and outplayed by Perry Mason, can at last smile and tell his adversary, "You know, I think I won this case." Of course, this time he had Mason on his side, defending an old friend who once rescued Burger. "I'll defend him," Mason kids, "even if he did save your life." We hope Burger enjoyed his moment of triumph. It would be the only one this season. Mason (Raymond Burr) is at the top of his game in case after seemingly hopeless case, untangling twisted plots with his unflappable aplomb. Suffice to say, if you're a secretary who discovers a dead body in a remote cabin, or a gambling den's cigarette girl with a gun and marijuana in your purse, your first stop should be Mason's office. Perry Mason is classic TV noir, with dark doings and shady characters that subvert the sunny Southern California setting. The quintessentially convoluted "The Case of the Gallant Grafter" involves corporate intrigue and divorce, and throws in a blackmailing secretary for good measure. These episodes, originally broadcast in 1959-60, are further evidence why Perry Mason was the longest-running legal series on TV, and Mason was one of popular culture's most enduring characters (created by Erle Stanley Gardner, he first appeared in a 1933 novel, and later branched out to movies, radio, and even comic books). Little fazes this guy, no matter how grisly the murder or how stacked the evidence is against his client. We anxiously await the moment that comes in most every episode around the 48-mins. mark in which the real killer is compelled to confess in court under fire of Mason's withering cross-examination (oft-times, they aren't even on the stand when they proclaim their guilt!). Among the familiar faces in these episodes include a very saucy Barbara Bain in "The Case of the Wary Wildcatter," and future Academy award-winner Louise Fletcher as the unfortunate secretary "The Case of the Mythical Monkeys." Fifty years later, Perry Mason is still a not-guilty pleasure. --Donald Liebenson

Rating: 
- Perry Mason hits his stride this season
Carrying on the trend of great releases in this classic series, the third season is the best so far, and this 2nd dose of Season 3 shows completes the cycle so far!
Rating: - top notch!
The product arrived in a timely fashion and in perfect condition.I have enjoyed watching it very much.
Rating: 
- Great episodes, inconsistent packaging
I wonder what the morons at CBS-Video are thinking when they decide to package a season one way and another season a different way.All they think about is the pennies they could save on each unit so their CEO's can earn salaries that nobody is really that good to earn.How about a little pride in the product you put out!?It would have been 5 stars for the episodes, but the packaging sucks.
Rating: - Good Show;Lousy Price
I've been putting up with these crazy prices for the past half-seasons of Perry Mason, but honestly, I've had it.
Either they release the whole seasons at once at that price of the half seasons, or I'm not buying it.
The show is well-remastered and clear, but I was not aware that there were no subtitles available as I do not use them (having no subtitles is pretty darn unfair).
Rating: 
- Good but too costly
I like these programs, but they cost to much. I think they would sell more if the price was cheaper.
Thanks
