Can't see shows. Just video (?)
You got 7 out of 10. Did you maneuver easily through this quiz or was it a bumpy ride?
#2, #6, & #8 did me in. A very bumpy ride indeed. :-|

The current TV promo (Oct 2022) mentions that this is the pilot episode. That is wrong. This is the premiere episode. The pilot was broadcast later, "The Case of the Moth-Eaten Mink." The premiere is not always the pilot. Star Trek and The Bob Newhart Show are two other programs (among many) where the premiere was not the pilot. Do some research, MeTV!

On The Edge of Night there was
a character Adam Drake played by
Donald May band on Perry Mason
Paul Drake was played by William
Hopper . Did the producers and
writers of The Edge of Night get
the idea to give Donald Mays last
name of Drake from Paul Drake on
Perry Mason?

Edge of Night got it's start as an Adaptation of Perry Mason... I'm not sure of the details, but basically they share the same 'DNA'... I would not be shocked if upon further inspection of Edge of Night you might find other names/archetypes in common with Perry Mason
Dark Shadows is currently airing on Decades @ 4-5am CT.
Thanks for the information about
Dark Shadows being on Decades.
I wish that Cox Communications in
Roanoke VA carried Decades.
Cox made an announcement on the
Cox Cable bills in 2020 that Cozi
And Decades would be added to
Cox in 2020 BUT IT NEVER Happened. Some TV viewers in
Roanoke ,Virginia can receive Cozi and Decades with an outdoor or an
Indoor TV Antenna so I will buy a
TV Antenna and hope that I can receive COZI and DECADES.

7 out of 10. Missed #2. That question has nothing to do with the Perry Mason episode.
A bumpy ride I hardly ever watch Perry Mason
8/10
Objection! The question was incompetent, irrelevant, and immaterial.

Check out the Spectrum/ Brighthouse FETV cable channel #192, on Thursdays and Fridays they run a marathon of shows.
I missed the one about how many times the guy playing the judge been on the show. Your risk about #2.

8 out of 10. #2 had absolutely nothing to do with Perry Mason or the episode.
8 out of 10, and totally ashamed of myself!
9/10. Missed #2
Don't miss the end of Episode 5.
Perry says, "I'm holding out for a sulky boy."
Perry says, "I'm holding out for a sulky boy."
That one should be explained! The episode was called The Case Of The Sulky Girl and it referenced a character who wanted to recieve a trust held by a disapproving uncle! As it turned out, she was secretly married and was expecting a baby. Perry was hoping for a male child as most men of that era did! However, it takes a different twist when you know about Raymond Burr's lifestyle...LOL! But here's another twist: Perry defends the husband when he is accused of murdering the uncle! Believe it or not, the characters' names reference another MeTV show! Here's a hint: It would be "a riot" if the husband thought the uncle wrote "Swannie River" [and no, the uncle's name wasn't Steven Foster...LOL!] !
Looking to binge watch the series first chance I get.
