 Perry Mason 4-1 Oct 19, 2009
I've collected every PM set that has been published including 99% of the paperbacks. PM, Seas 4,Vol 2, is due out this December, 2009. There's been discussion on pricing but I don't see any way around this other than not buying the product. The downside is that there is no substitution for this great product, so you need to decide if this is important to you.
Most of these episodes do not contain Hamilton Burger, since he was pushed off the show for a brief while. However, this doesn't distract from the overall quality of the show.
Perry Mason Season 4 Vol 1 Sep 05, 2009
The Perry Mason episodes are always well done and interesting; and I enjoy seeing the period costumes and cars, realizing that when the espisode was made, these were the height of fashion. I also enjoy the camaraderie of the cast of characters and the rivalry between the defense and the state. Besides all that, the stories are good.

Hamilton Burger gone missing Sep 03, 2009
They should release these DVD's faster! Part 1 of Season 4 was as good as always, with guest appearances of all sorts of up actors on their way up (or down). Sort of like the Love Boat of the 50/60's.
For those of you who want to know where Hamilton Burger is during Season 4, Part 1 (he only appears in one episode) - here is an excerpt from Wikipedia.....
"William Talman was fired from Perry Mason for a short period. Sheriff's deputies suspicious of marijuana use raided a party in a private home in Beverly Hills, at which Talman was a guest, on March 13, 1960. The deputies reported finding Talman and other defendants in the nude. Even though a morals charge was made against Talman (and vagrancy charges and lewd conduct against others at the party), municipal judge Adolph Alexander dismissed the charge against Talman on June 18. "I don't approve of their conduct," the judge ruled, "but there has been no violation of the law established." Despite this, Talman was fired when a "morals" clause was invoked in his contract--producers were afraid this incident would damage the show's image. However, Raymond Burr and the rest of the cast demanded the CBS network rehire Talman, and there was a deluge of fan mail demanding his reinstatement. CBS ultimately did bring him back on the set in December, 1960. But the incident (and possibly his typecasting as the never-ending loser Hamilton Burger) somewhat damaged Talman's career--other than Perry Mason he worked very infrequently as an actor from then on."
And CBS DVD/Paramount/or whoever owns the rights to this series - step up your release schedule.

Best you can get! Aug 17, 2009
I purchased all available Perry Mason DVD-Boxes at amazon.com, right after their release date. For me this is the ultimate series! The only bad thing is, that the copyright owners only release a box in every six months, thats too long apart!

More Courtroom Drama Jul 22, 2009
Perry Mason Season 4 Vol. 1 brings us the Mason courtroom action we all know and love.
Except for one episode, there's no Hamilton Burger to serve as Perry's foil in this volume, since Bill Tallman got himself in a bit of a scandal. He is missed.
However Della, Paul and Lt. Tragg are all on hand.
The shows contained herein range from fair to very good.
None of the shows are based on one of Gardner's original stories as was more prevelant in the earlier seasons.
Trivia note: The opening sequence changes in this season in about the third or fourth episode.
Overall I enjoyed this set but the quality of the stories has gone a bit downhill.
As usual, I protest against releasing the series in half seasons and the high price.
