Smokin Gator SASS #29736 Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 I watched part of a wagon train episode today. When they ran the credits I saw Stacey Keach listed. I was surprised. Checked and found it was Stacey Keach Sr. He played Carlson the gadget guy on Get Smart. Acted in lots of other shows too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Widder, SASS #59054 Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 I like Perry Mason also. Normally, I watch him at 9 a.m. and 11:30 pm here in E.TN. The name on that pistol grip was 'Bolar', if my memory serves me correctly. On a side note..... I really like feasting my eyeballs on Della. ..........Widder 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpo Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 That sounds like the case of The drowsy mosquito. Arthur Honeycutt, Strother Martin? https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0673247/ I've got the entire series on DVD but I have not made it all the way through season 1 yet. And according to IMDb that episode is season 7. If that is the correct episode, somebody let me know and I will dig down into season 7 box and get it out and watch it.

Blackwater 53393 Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 Yeah! That’s the episode! I have a primordial lust for the ‘58 Caddy convertible in some of the earlier episodes!! That’s one of the rarest Cadillacs ever produced and there was one that ran around in my neighborhood when I was a kid! 1958 Cadillac El Dorado Biarritz Convertible! HUBBA HUBBA!! 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cypress Sun Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 I used to watch Perry Mason all the time when I was a kid and into my teen years. Always liked the different twists and turns that the show took. I have to say that after a while I began to feel sorry for Hamilton Burger. If I remember right Perry only lost one case...I was happy for Burger.

Widder, SASS #59054 Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 But he (Perry) never lost Della. What a classy looking lady. ..........Widder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Kane Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 My favorite parts of Perry Mason episodes involve Tragg’s demeanor when he thinks he’s pulled a fast one on Perry and Tragg’s and Burger’s reactions when Perry outmaneuvers them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackwater 53393 Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 Paul Drake drove a nice ‘56/‘57 Corvette in some of the early episodes too!! The episode mentioned in the OP had a ‘32 Ford coupe that Strother Martin’s character drove. There were some really great cars in many of the episodes. Almost as much fun to watch THEM as it is to follow the plots!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somehow I just have trouble visualizing Strother Martin - spit, "bingo", "what we have heah is a failure to communicate" - driving a Little Deuce coupe. "It's my Little Deuce coupe" spit "bingo, you don't know what I got". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trailrider #896 Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 My Dad, who was a prominent probate attorney, used to watch Perry Mason, and loved the show. Dad knew Earl Stanley Gardner, who inspired the character and the series. Dad passed 21 years ago today at age 98. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

punxsutawneypete Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 (edited) Seeing the cars is part of the fun of watching the TV shows set in the 1950s through the 1980s. "Gotham" was supposedly set in the 1980s and I used to drive a bunch of those vintage cars. Edited August 11 by punxsutawneypete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackwater 53393 Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 (edited) One of last night’s episodes featured a slick little ‘59 Corvette with a stunning blonde at the wheel!! I’m certain that the Corvette would be much easier to maintain!! Edited August 9 by Blackwater 53393 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
