Perry Mason (1957–1966)
4/10
Overwhelmingly White
15 July 2023
As a fan of police and courtroom procedurals, I thought I would rewatch this series that I had enjoyed so much watching with my grandmother as a little girl. I suppose it was true for the time period, but the fact that this show is so overwhelmingly white, is sad. I was excited to see the first ostensibly AA actor in S6 E26, but was extremely disappointed that, unlike every other judge in the series up to this point, he spoke no lines. Burger who ALWAYS objects to Mason's courtroom antics, made no objections in this episode! I searched the credits for this actor; he's not even listed! What a shame.
