Is it time to start getting concerned about the future of this series? We are now getting announcements for April releases from CBS/Paramount and we've not heard about the next installment of Perry Mason. Last year we did see an April release for this series, but in previous years the release schedule has been all over the map with this show.
So, is it time to start worrying or not? Normally I'd say no because I've always been told that these releases were doing great for the studio. And from what little I could personally glean from places like Amazon.com that seemed to be the case. However, I have to say I'm getting worried. As I looked into my crystal ball a few weeks back I saw a man holding a coin, while his children were hurridly devouring their Easter candy. On one side of this coin I saw the face of Raymond Burr. On the other side I saw the face of the Grim Reaper. The man tossed the coin into the air like an NFL official would. As I watched the coin flipping over and over in the air I realized what the crystal ball was saying - Perry Mason Season 6 was literally a 50-50 proposition. It might get a release in April (clearly that's what the Easter candy was all about) or it might be stalled out. Not hearing any release news yet has me a bit spooked now. Surely this series hasn't fallen out of the CBS rotation, has it? I guess only time will tell, but with each passing day I fear it may have.
