12. It's difficult to beat the Perry Mason televison series.

The first 5 seasons of that television show -- 1958 to 1962 -- are currently available to be watched on that Tubi "free" streaming network. Check it out. The cast is fantastic, every one of the players is a terrific, experienced professional actor who performs marvelously. The scripts, the dialogue and the drama are pretty much better than anything on television today. Then, there are the fantastic automobiles, the Cadillacs, the Lincolns, the Fords, the Mercurys, the Thunderbirds, the Corvettes, etc. There are the boats, the ships and the maritime scenes. There are the scenes of Los Angeles and California in the late 1950's and the early 1960's. There are the courtroom scenes from the Old Los Angeles Downtown Criminal Courthouse and the new Stanley Mosk Courthouse opened in January, 1959. Then, there is the music and the cinematography. It's hard to beat the "guest stars" who appeared in this series -- all are first rate actors. One of the best is the iconic Bette Davis playing widowed lawyer, Constant Doyle. Bette is just one of many who appeared in this fantastic television series.
