Perry Mason Collecotor's Edition (Case of the Bartered Bikini )Case of the Singing Shirt)

Classic series. Got this for someone who loves it. Always like to joke about how women in the show "need to sit down" and "have a glass of water" when referencing this show. Many great quips and interesting mysteries.Bonus: Unlike Sherlock, you actually get enough clues to solve the mystery yourself, and get it right most of the time!

I grew up watching Perry Mason on TV, and formed lasting mental images of Mason, Della Street, Paul Drake, Lt. Tragg and Hamilton Burger based on the actors who played them. I recently re-read some of the novels and found myself wondering if the shows ever made it to DVD. Sure enough, they did. I bought (only) the first two seasons, as a starter, not knowing if anything might have been 'lost in translation' to DVD. Nothing was. The quality is excellent (in contrast to some other TV shows that have come out on DVD), the shows are as good as I remember, and the theme music once again evokes powerful images. If you enjoyed the series, you won't regret buying these DVDs.

This show outdoes the shows we have today (like Law & Order, etc.) Always leaves you guessing about who the killer is until the last couple minutes when Perry cracks the case wide open. Never loses a case & always comes out on top. Also has good humor to the show and Lieutenant Tragg always cracks me up. I'll never go back to Law & Order or CSI again. Good shows like this are hard to come by.

I bought this set for my husband as a gift, but I have been glued to the television every time he puts one of the DVD's in. For anyone who has never seen Perry Mason, buy the set, this is one of the all time BEST television shows. Crime Drama at its best.

Five stars for this classic series, but again, I won't buy in.One dud star for CBS/Paramount and (others).More multi-volume, overblown pricing from Paramount. Buying any complete season (via split seasons) generally will run at least $50.00...for something that should run in the mid thirties (as other complete seasons "generally" do). In this case (as of this review), a whopping overpriced $80.00.CBS/Paramount will keep releasing the split season nonsense as long as there are buyers (albeit emotionally based buying based on fear of not getting or having, or "just gotta have")...guaranteed. It's a venerable cash cow for them; from a business standpoint, they'd be insane to stop releasing split seasons (they can't stop pinching themselves with joy on all the lemmings going for the bait).Guaranteed Paramount (and others) will/would stop the nonsense if the cash register doesn't ring...it's all numbers.Make a statement with the pocketbook/wallet in conjunction with "we will only buy complete seasons." It's what's called market demand.As the classic Barnum and Baily statement goes..."A sucker is born every minute." How appopro...and Paramount (and others) are laughing all the way to the bank.

My Uncle Leo always said that Perry Mason was the best TV show ever. The DVD set is just great.

i knew i would like the old episodes. i wasn't disappointed

[Perry Mason: The First Season, Vol. 1 and 2]As a teenager, I watched the very first episode of Perry Mason, way back in September, 1957 and became instantly hooked on the series. It became a Sunday night fixture in our home and my entire family would look forward each week to watching Perry (Raymond Burr), Della Street (Barbara Hale) and Paul Drake (William Hopper) outwit Lt Tragg (Ray Collins) and the District Attorney, Hamilton Burger (William Talman), and uncover the true culprit.The first Perry Mason series ran from 1957 to 1966 and was outstanding television entertainment with riveting stories, crisp scripts, luscious sets, and smooth presentation, for a show filmed in black and white. A second series ran from 1973 to 1974 and from 1985 to 1993 the series was continued as special made for TV movies. Even today, the initial series still entertains and keeps your attention. I just watched the complete first season, beautifully restored on DVD and was captivated just as much as I was over 50 years ago when I first viewed these fabulous shows. The clothes and automobiles may be dated but the acting is top notch and the storylines are still attention getting. This series is far more cerebral than the blood and guts and computer solved crime shows of today's TV programming (Law and Order excepted).Interestingly, these original programs run about 51 minutes 30 seconds each, without commercials and station breaks. Sadly, in later re-runs, most shows were cut by an additional ten minutes or more for commercials and station promos (which often ran twenty minutes plus for every hour. These butchered shows are painful to watch and almost impossible to follow.Anyone who has never seen the first season of this delightful lawyer-detective crime series show buy, beg, or borrow the DVD version of this series, watch the shows and judge for yourself. You will be thoroughly entertained and not disappointed!

Bonjour, j ai suivi l avis des acheteurs sur le site Amazone et je suis ravie ,DVD parfaitement emballés ,arrivétrès vite rien a redire bonne journée merci

Encore du Grand Masson avec des enquêtes très intéressantes. Et ce côté Romance de Della et Perry qui ajoute une touche de tendresse et d'humour. Dire que Raymond Burr a dû cesser de tourner à l'épisode Baiser Mortel car il a été gravement malade...et qu'il nous quitte dans la même année. Un hommage écrit lui est consacré dans le générique final !
