DVD Reviews of Perry Mason: Season Three, Vol. 2
DVD Review: YES, MR. MORGAN + another problem with year sets.
Summary: 1 Stars
Even though my comment "AMEN" to Mr. Morgan's review indicated my total agreement, I'd like to add my thoughts to another change that is slowly growing in frequency and aggravation. DVD sets that suddenly loose their surface color graphics which relate to the TV program/movie's theme, characters or genre. NOW WE GREET the burnished silver disc surfaces with glossy silver writing. They all look the same, whatever the TV show or movie it is! PLUS, they are hard to read unless the light hits just at the right angle. (Even then, some of the print is so small, it's nigh onto impossible to read.)
The 1st time I noticed this was "Happy Days", Season Two. Season One the surface of the DVDs gave the discs an appearance of being a 45 rpm record. This makes sense, teens listening to rock 45's. But I guess the producers didn't think about aesthetics, just $$$. Here are a couple more absurd examples: #1- "7th Heaven", Seasons 1-5: Very nice character portraits that illustrated how the character's appearance changed as the years went by. Many times I've looked at the discs, thinking, he/she sure has grown, or lost weight (Rosanne) etc. Season 6 arrives. Generic silver discs with no portraits or color, or anything appealing. This unwelcome discovery ruining the inherent joy of their arrival Or, how about, #2- "Touched By An Angel"? Seasons 1-3, colored discs depicting the themes and the characters. Season 4 - OOPS! "Plain-Jane" silver. C'mon studios, give some thought to what appeals to the customers!
Are the studios saving money? I really don't know, but I've been in sales all my life and those years taught me the axiom "PRODUCT APPEARANCE AFFECTS SALES VOLUME"! Almost as much as what is does. Hard to believe they don't know that.
On the same theme, these double-sided discs that show fingerprints so easily, but theoretically save studios production costs. Since the advent of Double Layer discs, very few extra long movies are now printed on a two-sided disc. Here are 2 different product offerings, each the result of what subjects were of importance to studio officers sitting at their long, lavish mahogany tables in boardrooms resembling the Taj Mahal, pining over either how the economy hurts their sales volume, OR, what could be done to improve their product's value and appeal to the customer. (One, the antithesis of the other). #1- "Northern Exposure": Seasons 1 and 2, illustrated discs; Seasons 3 and 4, double-sided discs; Seasons 5 and 6, back to being illustrated. They may have finally moved in the right direction, but continuity is non-existent. #2- "The Waltons": Certainly one of the most loved TV series. but every year produced on 2-sided discs. It is bad enough to squint our eyes in able to see what we are putting in our disc player, but come Season 4, the producers didn't even bother to print which disc # the DVD was! I had to write in that tiny circle the correct disc # by looking through a magnifying glass at the even tinier ID number in that circular info area. (Example - 110884.1 or .2, or .3, etc.) The decimal point indicating which disc it is. Isn't this insane? I feel ridiculous writing this! Why bother? BECAUSE IT SHOWS HOW LITTLE THE MAKERS CARE ABOUT THE CUSTOMERS whose purchases pay their salaries & bonuses. End of soapbox.
Description of Perry Mason: Season Three, Vol. 2
PERRY MASON:THIRD SEASON VOL 2 - DVD MovieAmong the 14 cases that conclude Perry Mason's compelling third season is something of a Very Special Episode. In "The Case of the Prudent Prosecutor," district attorney Hamilton Burger (William Talman), usually outwitted and outplayed by Perry Mason, can at last smile and tell his adversary, "You know, I think I won this case." Of course, this time he had Mason on his side, defending an old friend who once rescued Burger. "I'll defend him," Mason kids, "even if he did save your life." We hope Burger enjoyed his moment of triumph. It would be the only one this season. Mason (Raymond Burr) is at the top of his game in case after seemingly hopeless case, untangling twisted plots with his unflappable aplomb. Suffice to say, if you?re a secretary who discovers a dead body in a remote cabin, or a gambling den?s cigarette girl with a gun and marijuana in your purse, your first stop should be Mason?s office. Perry Mason is classic TV noir, with dark doings and shady characters that subvert the sunny Southern California setting. The quintessentially convoluted "The Case of the Gallant Grafter" involves corporate intrigue and divorce, and throws in a blackmailing secretary for good measure. These episodes, originally broadcast in 1959-60, are further evidence why Perry Mason was the longest-running legal series on TV, and Mason was one of popular culture?s most enduring characters (created by Erle Stanley Gardner, he first appeared in a 1933 novel, and later branched out to movies, radio, and even comic books). Little fazes this guy, no matter how grisly the murder or how stacked the evidence is against his client. We anxiously await the moment that comes in most every episode around the 48-mins. mark in which the real killer is compelled to confess in court under fire of Mason?s withering cross-examination (oft-times, they aren?t even on the stand when they proclaim their guilt!). Among the familiar faces in these episodes include a very saucy Barbara Bain in "The Case of the Wary Wildcatter," and future Academy award-winner Louise Fletcher as the unfortunate secretary "The Case of the Mythical Monkeys." Fifty years later, Perry Mason is still a not-guilty pleasure. --Donald Liebenson
