The New Perry Mason The Case of the Wistful Widower
Episode aired Oct 7, 1973 S1 E4
*The New Perry Mason is a CBS TV series that ran from 1973 to 1974. It was a revival of the 1957 Perry Mason television series about Erle Stanley Gardner's brilliant defense attorney.
All of the major characters of the original series appeared in the revival, along with Gertie, a receptionist seldom seen in the original (and played by Connie Cezon on the few occasions when she was), and the plots and their devices were along the lines of the original. The familiar theme song of the original, "Park Avenue Beat," was replaced by a generic dramatic fanfare.
This revival was cancelled at mid season, after failing to overtake NBC's The Wonderful World of Disney and ABC's The F.B.I. in the ratings in its Sunday night time slot. It ranked 71st out of 80 shows airing that season, with a 13.1 household rating. It was soon replaced by Apple's Way.
CAST:
Monte Markham as Perry Mason
Sharon Acker as Della Street
Albert Stratton as Paul Drake
Dane Clark as Lt. Arthur Tragg
Harry Guardino as Hamilton Burger
Brett Somers as Gertie Lade

    the original Perry Mason with Raymond Burr, Barbara Hale, William Hopper and William Talman is just too hard to follow with a different cast. The original actors are icons. All who follow in the roles pale in comparison. Also the original theme song "Park Avenue Beat" is synonymous with the show. Nothing about this show gives me the feel that I'm watching Perry Mason. This is still.a good show, but it would take a long time to except it as "Perry Mason".

    As a Perry Mason fan, I share similar sentiments. This is the first time I came across this vid. I live in the Caribbean and wasn't even aware that there had been a New Perry Mason show! Somehow, most of the 'New' shows from originals just don't cut it; I guess that's why they don't last. Though seeing this New Perry Mason show for the first time, I just couldn't 'go through with it!' 🤣

    Because of The New Perry Mason, Mason is represented on TV in the 1950's, '60s, '70s, 80s and '90s, with this series representing the '70s, even though it was only one season, and a different cast. It carried on the tradition.

    I think you have to look at this show as something unto itself, and not compare it to the 1957-'66 series or the 1980's and '90s movies with Raymond Burr and Barbara Hale. It's hard not to of course, but that's really what you (and I) need to do to be fair. I love the red Dodge Charger used here that was produced from 1971-'74.

    Part of the nostalgia of the old PM series was that William Talman (Hamilton Burger), William Hopper (Paul Drake), and Ray Collins (Lt. Arthur Tragg) had passed on by the time the new PM hit the airwaves. They were just as irreplacebale in those roles as Raymond Burr as the original PM.

    Since apparently nobody noticed ... Just about everyone on the production team here was a direct carryover from the original Perry Mason series. Watch enough of these newer shows, and you'll see the names of writers, directors, crew, and at the top, the same producing team: Cornwell Jackson and Gail Patrick, plus Art Seid and Ernie Frankel as line producers.

    Yep - good eye. It was from Paisano Productions, the same production company as the original, which was formed by Erle Stanley Gardner, Cornwall Jackson, and Gail Patrick. Patrick and Jackson were divorced by the time this new series aired, but they were still partners in the production company. But Patrick didn’t want anything to do with the new series, and she only got the consultant title due to her financial interest in the show.

    This is actually the first time I've ever seen an episode of the New Perry Mason anywhere. This show was okay at best. It might not have been the same as the iconic original version of Perry Mason, but I give this short-lived revival an A+ for effort. As for this revival's new french horn-dominated mellow-sounding theme song, I also give it an A+ for effort. Guess they avoided using the iconic "Park Avenue Beat" theme song because they wanted to leave that song in the old PM era. They wanted everything new and give the PM franchise a fresh start. It may not have lasted long but all in all not bad I say.

    The original Perry Mason actor's ie.

This New Perry Mason lacks and ultimately loose interest.
