9. Second Time is Not the Charm

A revival of the show called A New Perry Mason (not joking) with a new cast premiered in 1973. It failed horribly.

10. One Colorful Episode

A single episode of Perry Mason was filmed in color — Season 9, Episode 21, titled “The Case of the Twice Cold Twist.” Producers wanted to experiment with colorized episodes before beginning season 10 fully in color. However, the show was canceled after its ninth season.

In Season 8, Mason’s office moves to the Bank of California. The office is entirely different, but none of the characters seem to notice. The Bank of California is located in San Fransisco.

12. Author Takes the Small Screen

Perry Mason author Erle Stanley Gardner appeared in the series finale as a nameless judge.

13. Della’s Hometown

14. Emmys and More Emmys

Raymond Burr won the Emmy award for Best Actor in a Leading Role — twice.

15. Method Acting?

Perry Mason was stationed in the Pacific during WWII. Raymond Burr was too.
