DVD Reviews of Perry Mason (50th Anniversary Edition)
DVD Review: a disappointed "perry mason fan"
Summary: 3 Stars
i am responding to "cap'n phealy's" review. i too bought this anniversary edition during the christmas season last year and yes, i am very disappointed. oh, i am very much a perry mason fan. it is not "perry mason" that i am disappointed in. it is the way this series has been marketed. i first bought this series in "volumes" from a well known dvd club. each volume consisted of three episodes that were chosen from various seasons. the club only offered approximately 71 episodes. i believe when the smoke cleared i had bought about 25 volumes. and i probably spent about $500.00.
i was happy when they became available by the season, then i became unhappy again because they are being sold by the "volume." plus, as cap'n phealy" pointed out, they are coming very slowly. i believe, so far, as of this writing, season 4 is available, volume 1. and what is up with the 12 episodes that were chosen to appear on the anniversary edition. i have 3 of the episodes offered on this "anniversary edition." they are: "the case of the treacherous toupee," "the case of the twice told twist," and "the case of the dead ringer."
the least that the marketers could have done was offered 12 episodes that have not yet appeared on any other "volumes" so far. i too felt that i did not make a very good investment, though i do not have the other 9 episodes on the volumes i bought from the club, i'm sure that the marketers already know/knew what had already been made available to consumers. and the episode in which perry mason does not appear must obviously been in reference to the episode that "betty davis" appeared in. by the way, raymond burr had to have surgery, which was why he did not appear in a handful of episodes. {i believe my details are right}. i certainly do not appreciate spending my hard earned money on the same item 3 times, unless i literally choose to. first from the volumes i bought from the club. then this anniversary editon. then i will most like buy, eventually the entire series, which of course i will wind up with 68 of the episodes purchased twice and 3 purchased 3 times. i did not mind the "perry mason returns" movie. i wish i could say that it makes up for those 3 pesky episodes that i have now purchased twice, but i can't. shame on the greedy marketers who do this sort of thing. my money is hard earned. i do not wish to waste money when through avenues, such as this.
DVD Review: Perry Mason (50th Anniversity Edition)
Summary: 5 Stars
I loved that it contained the first color show and the first movie. I especiallt enjoyed Barbara Hale's introductionsDVD Review: Just as advertised
Summary: 5 Stars
This boxed set was just as presented: It has star-studded episodes from over the years, the screen tests, interviews w/ Barbara Hale and others and a two-hour MOW. I've gotten hours of enjoyment from it.DVD Review: Disappointed
Summary: 1 Stars
I am an avid fan of the old black and white Perry Mason series. I only own one half season and it was expensive. I really want to collect them all, but they are too pricey. I'll keep watching re-runs on syndicated television until the prices come down. I was disappointed to see far more low ratings for this anniversary edition than high ratings. I won't buy it either.DVD Review: Best of a Classic TV show
Summary: 5 Stars
Episodes from the 1957-66 Classic TV series include the only case Hamilton Burger won ("The Case of the Deadly Verdict"), the only one filmed in color ("The Case of the Twice Told Twist"), the one where Raymond Burr plays a duel role ("The Case of the Dead Ringer"), the one with Bette Davis as one of the special guest star attorneys ("The Case of the Constant Doyle") and the series' finale ("The Case of the Final Fadeout"). Optional introductions to each episode by Barbara Hale (who played Della Street) are also included. However, "The Case of the Dead Ringer" is the only one with an audio commentary by Hale and producer/director Arthur Marks. There's also the first of the "Perry Mason Returns" TV movies. If only more of the TV movies from 1985-94 would be released on DVD. Lots of extras here including interviews, auditions and the cast stepping out of character to play a charade type TV game show. A good collection to own and remember a TV classic. Defense rests, your honor.
