Plus, he ate 3 hot dogs every episode.

Matlock was a Perry Mason copycat, except for the hot dogs.

Right. Perry Mason is part of the Portland, Oregon lifestyle and nothing else could ever measure up. You aren't truly a Portland native until you've spent at least 50 noon hours in one calendar year watching Perry Mason. In fact, I think it's in the citizenship test, isn't it?

I totally believe it!

Much of TV is recycled now anyways. Take a sitcom and you'll deal with the typical issues. Family Ties had them. The Cosby Show had them. Take a lawyer show - they'll all have similar issues too.

I liked watching the old Outer Limits episodes.

Oh - you mean the Twilight Zone ripoff.
