I always thought they came across as very happily married. She always seemed willing to learn whatever she could from some of Tony's less wholesome clients .
Entirely possible. They seemed to have an easy rapport and mutual respect. Seems they were following the blueprint. I really enjoy watching them interact. It was a shame he only made one appearance in season 2.
I will agree, I believe that it willbe very rewatchable for the reason you mentioned (realness of the characters and their world). Those two things are what stuck in my memory (17 to 19 years old during its run), the relationship between Maggie and Tony and theirs with Pete. That made the show...
I can't find anything different, it must have been low ratings. Maybe having to fix up the truck weekly was too expensive :D . I know I was a regular viewer and I was upset when it got canceled,
I remember the opening credits from Season 2 because of the clip taken from the old cowboys episode (Four the Hard Way). I always smile when I see Tony rocking and aching in the saddle.
A running gag in the 2nd season other than his parking concerns an exotic dancer who is convinced her act is not indecent! She is in three (?) episodes. Very funny, especially the way Maggie reacts to her bumps and grinds.
I agree about their relationship, something I mentioned almost every...
There are other scenes that are reused, mostly long shots of the truck travelling through "San Remo", driving to their home, Tony parking in the Police parking lot and overhead shots of Tony and Maggie walking away from the fountain outside the courthouse (with and without dialogue). I don't...
No, you're not.
So that I won't overdose on just one series, I alternate series by watching one disc, then moving to another one. I am starting with The Invaders ,The Flash (Shipp version), Perry Mason and then The Outer Limits. I do these on my own after work as my wife doesn't much care for...
Well, I have finished my set by watching The Pay Off; starring Victor French and featuring Whit Bissell and Mark Goddard. This episode was a return to form of multiple flashbacks. The twist was that the alleged murderer was Maggie's Uncle Roy (French) who was caught where he shouldn't be. Not...
Nice to hear that these episodes are bringing back your memories.
I want to mention that the final episodes of season two (discs 4 & 5) tweak the formula once again. Most of these eps. are not the traditional type of courtroom drama. In these, Tony is given some lawyerly things to do (work on...
I only have one disc left, 5 episodes. This has been such a treat to view this one again. I am so thankful that the episodes are uncut. The video on some of these season 2 eps. has been a bit more variable (not like other CBS remastered shows), but they are still very watchable. I'm just sad...
With this show, there are again three leads as in Perry Mason. Tony the lawyer, Maggie the wife/secretary/damsel in distress, and Pete the ex cop PI. The chemistry between these three is very strong. There is a backstory of sorts that Tony as a Harvard educated lawyer got tired of the city...
I just watched this one Saturday night and was surprised that from the camera angle, it was apparent that Barry Newman was actually in the air. Seemed that the helicopter was actually in flight. Visually impressive as well as looking a bit dangerous. On top of that, a pretty good episode...
Have been alternating between Perry Mason, The Flash (1990), Wild Wild West and Petrocelli. Making my own schedule of "classic" tv during this rerun season.
I have gotten through the first 15 episodes and have been utterly charmed by this show. So far I have not found a major stinker in this...
The Lawyer is available thru amazon.com. I watched it on Prime this past summer. Currently it is not on Prime but is available on their streaming service...
The set arrived in my mailbox in quick order on release day. Impressed with VEI so far. Upset about the cut on the pilot. The credit sequence is missing as has been reported. but that appears to be all I have noticed so far.
As far as I can tell, the episodes I have viewed all run...
VEI had it listed at $39.99 with $4.99 shipping and handling, right at $45 for two seasons. Seemed like a good price to me. $41.32 from amazon.ca and the middle of January or $45 and soon. I went with soon :D!!!
About time. I wonder if they will use the same masters that the German set used. Have been excited for this one ever since it was announced as a potential release earlier this year.
