DVD Reviews of Perry Mason - Season One, Vols. 1 & 2
DVD Review: Does'nt make dollars and sense !
Summary: 1 Stars
Why would one purchase Season 1 Volumes 1 and 2 for $80.00 when you can purchase them individually for about $25.00 tax included.
DVD Review: Multi volume/split season nonsense
Summary: 1 Stars
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.
DVD Review: TV Drama At Its Best
Summary: 5 Stars
I remember watching Perry Mason when I was six or seven until the show was cancelled many years later. I remember then being captivated by all aspects of the show: the Peter Gunn-like music, the consummate acting, the entertaining plot twists and the stirring courtroom drama. What made this series all the more amazing was that you knew at the beginning of each episode that the defendant was not guilty of the crime charged, but that someone else, who was tangentially related to the plot, was guilty of the crime and would confess in dramatic fashion. Despite the same outcome in each episode, one was entertained every week, because the process of ascertaining the criminal was always fascinating, the result of Mason's clever mind and relentless cross examination.
But would the series withstand the critical and jaded eye of the adult, or would it seem mediocre and dated? How many of you remember enjoying a TV program or movie as a child, only to be severely disappointed when you saw the program or movie as an adult? This was my greatest concern when I saw the series was available on DVD; in fact, I almost decided not to order it. However, because of all of the positive reviews, I was persuaded to order this first season, and I can say that I'm hooked again, just as I was as a child.
This is TV drama at its best, with provacative screenplays and excellent acting, especially by Raymond Burr, Mason himself. I look forward to the second season and the release of the entire series.
DVD Review: As Good as It Gets
Summary: 5 Stars
Excellent video quality. Clean presentation of the shows in chronological order. Every Perry Mason fan should at least try out one of these DVDs.
Perry plays tricks against the Court in some of the early episodes. He settles down somewhat later on, saving his cleverness for the police. Perry's logic, clarity, and acerbic insight when defending a client comes through as fun to watch. Yet, with all his ability as a major lawyer, he still has to pull out of deep trouble in every show.
"What are You doing here, Tragg?" ... "Oh, hello Perry. I was just in the neighborhood and thought I'd drop by ... and arrest your client for MURDER."
DVD Review: Perry Mason - Season One, Vols. 1& 2
Summary: 5 Stars
I watched many of the shows when they were on television. It is totally cool to be able to watch them again at my convenience.
