Perry Mason was a legal drama based on detective novels by Erle Stanley Gardner.
Canon
- The novels were published from 1933–1973
- Six Perry Mason movies were made between 1934 and 1937 [1]
- A radio series was broadcasted weekdays on CBS Radio from 1943 to 1955 [2]
- Raymond Burr starred in Perry Mason from 1957–1966, and returned to the role from 1985-1995
- The series' producer was Gail Patrick, the wife of Erle Stanley Gardner's literary agent:
The unsung hero of TV’s “Perry Mason” is its producer Gail Patrick, who in the mid-1950s was a retired actress married to Gardner’s literary agent, Thomas Cornwell Jackson. She won over Gardner, who was so impressed with her that he put her in charge of a series truer to his ideals.
- The New Perry Mason, with Monte Markham, debuted in late 1973 and lasted only 15 episodes
- A new Perry Mason series, starring Matthew Rhys and set at the beginning of his career, debuted in 2020. The show was designed to be a limited series, but in July 2020 executive producer Robert Downey Jr. confirmed a second season on Twitter [4]
Fandom
The Raymond Burr series and revival have the widest cultural penetration and are probably many people's default association for the name "Perry Mason", but there is also a growing fandom for the 2020 series.
