Thank you for this. As a little girl, I watched Perry Mason. And, now as young senior, 68, I watch it just about every night at 11:30PM. I saw and watched one episode of the new Perry Mason on HBO. It's trash. It's nothing like the original and legacy Perry Mason. You're not missing anything. I like this trip down memory lane you brought me on. Thank you.
My Nana loved that show & I so fondly remember her sitting forward on our sofa, as a child( we lived with her!) intently listening to Perry Mason. Everyday she would be in front of the tv screen, when her favorite tv series would come on! I watch it now & I think of her!( Miss you Nana!❤️)!
I'm 56 and grew up watching Perry Mason reruns. I love the series and the actors were excellent in their respective roles. I also remember Barbara Hale's commercials for the Amana Radar-Range ovens..."Remember, if it doesn't say Amana, it's not a Radar Range."😊 Thank you for posting this and including the George Floyd memorial street art in Palm Springs.
Hi Soleman, i’m glad you liked the mural, too. I did receive quite a few very hateful comments about it (most had to be deleted), but I’m happy to say that the majority of my viewers and subscribers we’re happy that I included it,. I’m glad that most of my viewers and subscribers are lovers not haters 😊👍
Awe 🤗 I forgot she did those. Thank you for mentioning that. I used to love commercials when I was a kid and when microwaves came out I was really fascinated by the idea. Haha. I was so excited when my parents bought one too.
@@TheGraveyardChannel Keep doing You. Courage over cowardice. There will always be evil haters. Hint: When you ignore/block them, it pisses them off even more..🤣. Trust me, anyone who complained about you losing them after showing the George Floyd memorial street art in Palm Springs, was already "lost" and devoid of any humanity eons ago. Keep moving forward and posting positivity. You make people happy. 😁 I'm a former San Diego and SF resident. In the late 90"s my friends and I stayed at The Hacienda one Valentine's weekend. It has been the former Elizabeth Arden Spa. One of those friends currently lives in PS and I thinking about making a road trip there. Growing up one of my favorite cartoons was the Jetsons. I also enjoyed the original Star Trek. When Barbara Hale introduced Amana microwave ovens to America via those commercials I was transfixed. I vowed to have one when I grew up. Consequently between my microwave and vintage Broil King, I've never used the electric double oven in my 1957 ranch home. Push button cooking at its finest. Perry Mason started using Black actors in the courtroom scenes as spectators and jurors in the early '60's. Theres even an episode where the butler wasn't the murderer, but the Black maid was! Thank you for posting.
Thank you for the information and the very interesting video. The Perry Mason cast was exceptional. We record all the reruns on all the channels and have the CD’s. There is always something we’ve missed when we watch the episodes more than once! I thought Della was very beautiful. Her personality (at least on the show) was delightful. I’ll bet she was just as nice in person. As for Raymond Burr, my mother loved him. She watched Perry Mason when I was a child and I always remembered Perry’s office and that “Pecky Cypress” paneling. Mom loved the movies he made afterwards as well. It was so fun to watch Della and Perry grow “old” together.....they did have something special. The chemistry between them was something that couldn’t have been part of a script. It just came naturally. ♥️
I absolutely love it when everyday when Paul Drake entered the room first thing he says “hello beautiful.” Those were the days. Also the two sparring partners Lt. Tragg and Perry . I love that show. I have it going 24/7.
I loved Perry Mason. Each Cast Member played their roles to perfection. It’s amazing that they are all buried close together. I really liked the the Theme song. Raymond Burr deserved the title of one of the greatest actors. Thank You for the great video. Blessings to You and Jim! ❤
Donald Oglesbee. Outrageous Buick is R I G H T! Also don't forget that '64 Chrysler Imperial convertible that actress Lisa Gaye drove in "The Case of the Nautical Knot" (10.29.64) and actor Paul Picerni driving that '64 Dodge Polara convertible in "The Case of the Bouncing Boomerang" (12.12.63). Coincidencely both actors were the murderer in these two episodes.
I love Perry Mason!! Repeats are on TV now! There was something special between Perry n Della...and I love how Paul called Della "beautiful" when he saw her...❤️
I loved Perry Mason! I still love watching reruns! When I was a kid I used to read PM books! I always loved how Perry Mason got his killer on the witness stand! Great show! Thanks Steve!
I remember Tallman's PSA. I was a teen, and it riveted my attention. Yul Brenner also did one. At that time, there were no age limits on tobacco sales, and cigarettes were 25 cents a pack. Burr was in the original Godzilla movie. And Barbara Hale had the role of Al Jolson's wife in "Jolson Sings Again"
I remember as a kid my aunt would send me to purchase cigarettes. Lucky Strike and Marlboros. In 65 her doctor told her give up smoking or die.....no bedside manners for this guy. Scared auntie so bad she came home and quit cold turkey.....after she died we found an old pack my cousin who was a smoker tried one and it was so stale he almost choked to death from coughing so hard that even he quit cold turkey after that! And after 40 years I still have a bottle of her favorite liquor, Bourbon unopened!
Hey Steve. Love your show. Like you I live in Palm Springs too. You can see William Talman's anti smoking PSA on CZcams. It was filmed shortly before he passed away.
Steve, thanks so much for the fantastic perry Mason video. You're dignified demeanor separates you from all the others, I'm new to your channel and I thank the good Lord I found it. A fan for life bill feilhauer
I've been watching Perry Mason lately on MeTV channel on a weekly basis during this pandemic and it's such a breath of fresh air watching how beautiful and clean LA was in the 50s and 60s with great acting from these talented actors and fascinating scripts. I've bought cds of the complete show; 9 seasons. It's a true TV classic. Everything first class unlike the junk shows of today. I'm a criminal defense lawyer and after 27 years I'm still looking forward to a Perry Mason moment when he make a witness breakdown and cry in court.
I remember William hopper. He was Paul Drake and Perry MasoWhich I watch forever. William hopper was a very handsome man. Thanks for the tour Steve’s😊n
I loved this video. I am a big fan of the show. I haven't seen the new one. Praying for you and your family while you look for a new home for your Mom. I wish you all the best. God bless you.
Thank you so much Debbie. I gave an update about my mom in one of my last vlogs. we couldn't get her into an assisted living home, so she is staying where she is for now, but all is good.
I remember the old black and white show Perry Mason well. I really enjoyed the Perry Mason movies. In real life he was a quiet person despite his celebrity. He was also extremely generous donating money to organizations and sponsoring needy children. He was bullied something terrible as a child for his weight and as a adult by Johnny Carson. He refused to go on his show for that. Thanks Steve for another enjoyable vlog.
I lived in downtown Denver in the 80s when they were filming the new series. I must say I definitely prefer the old series and will still watch an episode or two from time to time.
Thanks Steve, for the kind mention - glad I could help out. FYI: William Talman's anti-smoking PSA is on CZcams. Also, after Ray Collins' emphysema got so bad that he had to bow out of his role as Lt. Tragg, he was included in all post-show credits until he died.
hey jtx, glad you are still watching my show and i'm glad that you are now a part of it :-) never even thought to look on youtube for the psa. and thanks for sharing that great tv trivia with us about collins. you are a wealth of information!
Perry Mason with Raymond Burr is on 2X a day, 9-10am and 11:30pm to 12:30am Mon thru Friday on METV. Although I've seen the many episodes multiple times, still watch it. I am surprised that Drake is buried at that cemetery. He was a very handsome man as was Raymond Burr.
Informative video. Didn’t know about William Hopper’s mother. Didn’t remember the names of Few cast members. It puzzles me that Barbara Hale doesn’t have a marker next to her husband. Wish she would ask her son William Katt why the family didn’t get a marker for her. The original Perry Mason is airing on Sundance TV . Hope your mom is doing well. God bless you and your family
I have briefly seen the new Perry Mason. I wasn't impressed. The original Perry Mason was such a classy well dressed and handsome man. He's the opposite and I couldn't relate. I knew that Barbara Hale was the character on the show to. I have checked out as much as I could on the character on the as a matter of fact. I watch Perry Mason 3 times a day except on Sunday just once. When you popped up on my phone I was watching it. Thanks for all the info on the stars
Found out about Hedda Hopper being Bill Hoppers mom on METV Svengoolie movie on Saturday nights. They showed the movie 20 million miles to Earth, which Bill starred in. During commercials Sven would talk about the actors in the film and he mentioned the Hedda/Bill connection.
I've heard William Katt speak very fondly of his mother, so I'm sure that whatever the reason for not having a grave marker, it isn't lack of affection. Maybe the family just want to keep the site private and not the object of curiosity for legions of fans.
I remember seeing William Hopper in the blood-curdling movie "The Bad Seed". Originally "The Bad Seed" had been on Broadway then was made into the movie. I don't know if Mr. Hopper was in the stage version. I've read that she and her rival Louella Parsons originally were hired by their studios to do essentially promotional work but unexpectedly both women became powerful and influential columnists. Hedda Hopper had started out an actress but after she was an established columnist did play herself in the movie "Sunset Boulevard".
This is so awesome, while I was looking at this video, I was looking at Perry Mason, as I do every morning, I also look at Perry Mason in the evening! May they all REST IN PEACE! Thank you for sharing and remembering all of these Awesome actors!🙏🏽🙏🏽💐💐
I used to service Raymund Burr's pool, on Hillside Dr. in the Hollywood Hills in the late 1970's. Since my mom worked at Universal Studios, sometimes she would take my brothers and I to some of the sets there. It was about 1967, or 1968. We were on the empty set for "Ironside." Raymund Burr was the star of that show. I, as a kid was rolling around on the set, the kitchen scene, in Raymund Burr's wheelchair prop for the show. Suddenly Darren Mc Gavin happened to walk by the set, saw us, and he looked at me, bent down, and shook my hand, and said, "hello young man", and then proceeded to continue going to where he was going. I didn't know who he was at the time, but my mom tried explaining, as she would have numerous interactions with the actors there. Great Vlog!!!
Perry Mason was one of my all-time favourites. Absolutely LOVED their courtroom cliffhangers, twists and turns. Such clever writing. I definitely had a crush on Paul Drake and thought Perry Mason's eyelashes were to die for! Doesn't seem possible that I watched these courtroom dramas nearly sixty years ago! Such amazing memories, Steve. You always bring our favourite shows, characters and actors to life in our minds once more. This brings back as well the days when I was a newly qualified teacher, a career that lasted over forty years.
I know, time sure flies doesn’t it? What a great career. I thought very seriously about becoming a teacher too, but went in a different direction. I’m sure you have lots of great memories from those 40 years. Thanks, Avril 👍
Hi Steve. Glad to see you are keeping hydrated in the heat. I loved this vlog and I loved watching Perry Mason. Those were the best who dunnits then and now. I still watch reruns. No beating the original series. Hale not having a marker is a bit odd. Hopefully her family will rectify that soon. I didn't know their graves were all so close. I did know Burr was buried with his parents in Canada. Great presentation Steve. Prayers for you and your mom. Take care out there. 🙂
My mom would hurry home from bowling to watch Perry Mason and now I've enjoyed the show. One of my favorite moments was when I saw David Cassidy's mom Evelyn Ward as a character in one of the shows! Everyone has seen good old Jack but she was a real treat to see. I think of my mom when I watch it Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
Steve - Good Morning and happy weekend! Another fascinating video, my friend. I had only just learned of the Hedda Hopper connection this week. What a coincidence. I didn't know about the William Katt connection. I remember his show from the 80's. Really interesting video. Thank you for sharing. Blessings - Judith
My mom know Japanese and saw the symbol on Greatest American Hero and laughed. She told me that symbol was Japanese for zero or nothing. So, the superhero has a symbol that means he is a zero. That adds to the humor.
Hi again Steve. Loved the show Perry Mason. Thanks for this post. You always sharie your stories about your family thank you. This cemetary is beautiful, so peaceful. Looks lovely to visit and remember those who have gone. Thanks Joanne NZ 🙂
I watched the new Perry Mason on HBO. My mom and I loved it and we can’t wait until next season. I never really watched the original so I can’t compare the two, but this series was well written and has a great and talented cast. You’ll enjoy it.
I enjoy your mother's updates. Miss seeing her. I had a stroke December 6th 2019 and it affected my right side . Still working on getting better. I enjoy your channel very much 💗
Hi Whitt, I love your channel and obviously lots of other viewers do too! As I think I’ve said to you before, your channel is growing much much faster than mine ever did when I was first getting started. Thanks and have a great week 👍
My great uncle Samuel Newman was one of the writers for Perry Mason. He was good friends with Raymond Burr and most of the cast. They were at his house quite often. Raymond was a big guy. Maybe that's how I remember him because I was so small. Barbara Hale was really beautiful in person. Fun times!
Great video! I vividly remember Talmans PSA on smoking. It was heartbreaking to hear what was to come for him & his desire to warn & save others from his fate. I watch at least 2 episodes daily of PM reruns that are currently playing. Stay cool!
Hi my Mum and I are fans of Perry Mason from Scotland, CBS drama has aired all 9 seasons and we never missed it. We watched the new Perry Mason and it's nothing like the original we watched 15 minutes and it was terrible so we turned it off.
Use to watch the program.Perry Mason with my dear old mum, (RIP) now.watching the reruns on CBS, there great I love Perry Mason, what a brilliant defence attorney he is
I didn't know either, but I did suspect it. It definitely doesn't change how much I adore him. He's a great actor in Perry Mason. My favorite role is him in "Rear Window" though.
He was very secretive about it, so much so he bought his own Island out in the Pacific. By all accounts he was a kind gentle and very generous. Barbara Hale always talked glowingly of him. He was also very local. There were a few actors you see on the show in minor roles that he gave work too when they had fell on hard times. If you watch the credits long after is left the show due to his health you will see Ray Collin's name listed as Detective Tragg. That was how Mr Burr wanted it.
@@robertsullivan4773 Burr and Barbara Hale were long time friends, since the time both were under contract with RKO, in the 1940s. Hale wasn't interested, at first auditioning for the role of Della Street, until she saw Burr auditioning for the main role of "Perry Mason." And the rest, as they say, is history.
@@danielcobbins9050 you do during the audition they tried Burr as the DA I think even Hopped tried for different roles there are a number of CZcamss of the auditions. I love Barbra Hale she was all beauty and class.
I watch Perry Mason on MeTV channel usually daily and I have had antenna TV for 15 years and I get about 65 channels for free, great old movies and westerns, and network TV. Great informative video you made.
Hi Steve, great vid! Both Ironside and Perry Mason were popular here in Australia too. I have visited Raymond Burr's old orchid garden in Fiji. Cheers👍
I happen to see this and I am a fan of Perry Mason show even though I wasn't born then I love this show. I actually watch in Pluto TV. It's on all day and every day. I love old tv shows, I have an old soul, that was once told by someone but then I knew I am. Bless you and Thank you.
Loooove your channel and what you do! I'm a nostalgia fan and seeker as well! I love to seek out and to post homage to all those that entertained and have gone before us. Especially love to search for military resting places! But you shocked me on this Perry Mason adventure. I had no idea, Raymond Burr was homosexual. What a shocker. But still loved all his works!
I think a lot of people were surprised when the news media broke the story after his death. Apparently it was an open secret that everyone knew about in show business. Guess they figured the public wouldn’t be able to handle it. And they were probably right considering the times.
Thank you for this. As a child, i waa raised by my aunt. And as a depression era child she only went to school up to the sixth grade like many back then, and she longed to be a lawyer. But due to discrimination and yes lack of education her dream went unfulfilled. She would catch every episode of Perry mason! And as we only had one television i was stuck watching the show and hated until one day i got the law bug. Instead though i became a paralegal I had kids to feed and thusly could not afford law school but instead i became a Paralegal. I had a voracious love for reading. Thank you for this my friend and thank you for the mentioning of George Floyd the way you presented it! And if you get a chance pick up the early movie serials during the 30's The new Perry Mason is based on those serials, not the television series! Raymond Burr and cast will always be my favorite as they portrayed minorities very respectfully Ivan Dixon in one of his first role and they actually had a black judge once.....i apologize if i may have inadvertently became political. But i had to compliment you for your respect for the cast. But i also wanted to add a wee bit of a context to the floyd mural! This really made my day....at 7:02 am. And one other thing how is your mother! I hope she is well! 😷 stay safe bro!! To be honest was hoping you would do one on this show......my one sadness is that she did not live long enough to see the late 80's and early 90's tele-movie series!
hi TW, wow, thanks for sharing the memory of your mom with us and for sharing your own life's journey, as well. i love hearing stories like this. i've also noticed recently, while watching some old tv shows that many of them surprising did depict minorities very respectfully and not at all sterotypically. somewhere along the line it seems that the world has gone off the rails when it comes to respect and compassion for others. to me, it's not about politics, it's just about human decency. the world could sure use a lot more of that.
My Grand parents are buried in Rose Hills Cemetery. Unfortunately never have been able to travel cross country to visit it. Maybe someday we will. My boyfriend loves watching Perry Mason 🤩
I did not realize that Raymond Burr is a fellow Canuck! Learn something new everyday Thanks for the tour. I always enjoy your videos. We have a heatwave going in southern Ontario at the moment I can relate Hope you and mom are well ❤️
..trip called off, but I pled...so, 12yr old takes his seat in the first seat, passenger side, upper level of the VistaCruiser Grayhound, windshield in front me...an express bus from San Diego to Amarrillo, Texas...dream stuff for sure in 1962...Rode in town on Route 66
Hi STEAVE omg I I'm a new subscriber of your absolutely lovely great show. Well I watch perry Mason , every single nite fore the last 4. 5. Years . Especially on me tv. And you and your show now my number one show I love on you tube actually , did perry Mason. And cast wow !!!!! Made me feel so great . I know all the actors you did on this episode, and probably like most people love each and every one of these actors, from perry Mason. To close my review. I'm so glad to see that powerful mural. I CANT BREATH . MADE MY HEART FEEL SO GOOD . THAT STATEMENT WILL STAY WITH ALL OF US FOR EVER. SUCH A POWERFUL STATEMENT THAT WE CAN ALL FEEL. AND SO SAD IT HAD TO COME WITH AN ACTUAL LOSS OF LIFE. THANK YOU FOR ANOTHER GREAT SHOW STEAVE. ERIC.
Hi Eric, thanks for watching and subscribing. I really appreciate that. Especially from a true Perry Mason fan 👍 i’m so glad that you liked the Mural too. He will certainly never be forgotten and you’re right, those three words have change the world forever. Hopefully for better ✌️👍
@@TheGraveyardChannel good morning STEAVE . Well. Here in Brockton mass. It's 1029 am. Not sure your time. Lol. How do if needed to ask you a question?? Text you without putting on a public review?? A ND. Is there a way for me to go to a list of episodes????? From your first til now. So I could mabey find my favorites!! And older ones too newer ones. THANKS STEAVE AND IS THERE ONLY LIKE 1OR2 PER MONTH OR WEEKKS OR QUERTLY?, THAT YOU MAKE THESE. SO I CAN LOOK FORWARD, FOR THE NEW ONES ABOUT TO COME OUT TO AIR. PLEASE LET ME KNOW THANKS ERIC
When I was a child, air travel was expensive and most people either traveled by bus or train. Bus and train Depots were not as nice as airports at the time but much less expensive and you got to see the countryside.
Me too. It’s funny how much things have changed over the years. Flying somewhere used to be so special. Now people just do it on a whim any day of the week. Thanks for sharing Almonte 👍
I remember Talman's anti-smoking as. Staring straight at us via the camera: "I've got lung cancer. ... if you don't smoke, don't start. If you di smoke, quit." Footage with commentary by Barbara Hale (not Hell) exists showing several selected cast members and others in audition for various roles.
I remember that well. In the opening of his narrative, he shows a picture of himself with Raymond Burr. and says something to the effect, do you recognize this guy?
A grandfather I never got to meet was a heavy smoker,he dropped dead at home at age 39 of a heart attack.His heavy smoking was one cause of the heart attack
Godzilla was the American edit of the original Japanese Gojira. They added scenes with Raymond Burr to help with the American audiences and renamed it. He was also terrific as a prosecutor in A Place in the Sun, with Elizabeth Taylor and Montgomery Cliff. He auditioned for the Hamilton Burger role, initially. The new Perry Mason is an origin story about Mason before he became a lawyer. So far...meh. Thanks for the upload.
This was a wonderfully done video about the cast members of the original Perry Mason tv series. The scenery at the various locations is just beautiful to see. Well done job.
Seems everyone on that show would light up a smoke. Burr was also good in Ironsides. Perry Mason was good TV. Not only did Perry win all his cases but seemed to always catch the real criminal by making them testify. Stay safe and well.
i know, it's weird to see everyone smoking on some of these old tv shows. and did you see burr holding a cigarette on the cover of tv guide? :-) thanks, walter!
Walter, Perry didn't win all of his cases. I had heard this years ago in some sort of trivia thing, so went to Google for the straight story.... [Mason is known to have lost, in some form or manner, three cases-"The Case of the Terrified Typist", "The Case of the Witless Witness", and "The Case of the Deadly Verdict". Mason also loses a civil case at the beginning of "The Case of the Dead Ringer", partly due to being framed for witness tampering.] Just an FYI for fans and afficianados.
I like Raymond burr, William hopper and Barbara hale. I still watch Perry Mason . My after dinner show. Handsome actors and Barbara Good looking actress. 😊
Gail Patrick who was the Executive Producer on Perry Mason told Barbara Hale to wear dresses that were basically knee length. Ms. Patrick felt that the knee length style wouldn't be too dated if the show was to go into reruns. How right she was. Fifty-four years later after the last show aired, Ms. Street still looks great. On a side note. What I'd give to have one those classic Thunderbirds that Paul Drake drove or those high end Fords and later, Lincolns that Perry drove!
Thank you for this. As a little girl, I watched Perry Mason. And, now as young senior, 68, I watch it just about every night at 11:30PM. I saw and watched one episode of the new Perry Mason on HBO. It's trash. It's nothing like the original and legacy Perry Mason. You're not missing anything. I like this trip down memory lane you brought me on. Thank you.
thanks for your review of the new perry mason, janice. everyone seems to agree with you.
Between METV and FETV, I watch about six hours of Perry Mason every weekday.
Me too!!

I watch the show every evening because I Love Perry Mason!! It's still a GREAT SHOW!!
And I thought I was the only one! Not only do I enjoy the show, but it takes me back to a better time.

I loved Della and Paul so much. Such an All star cast for Perry Mason. So perfect.
There is no other Perry Mason to my mind, than Raymond Burr. With Della.
Don't forget Paul Drake. Cool dude!
Raymond Burr,wad a great actor,my dad liked watching Perry Mason,he passed away 2002,was66.
Thats right
Perry Mason...
Cool music score and those Lincolns and Thunderbirds were also very Cool....
Donald Oglesbee. Outrageous Buick is R I G H T!
Also don't forget that '64 Chrysler Imperial convertible that actress Lisa Gaye drove in "The Case of the Nautical Knot" (10.29.64) and actor Paul Picerni driving that '64 Dodge Polara convertible in "The Case of the Bouncing Boomerang" (12.12.63).
Coincidencely both actors were the murderer in these two episodes.
Great video! I fall asleep every night watching Carol Burnett followed by Perry Mason 😁
Awesome! Thank you for sharing with us, SB!
Twilight Zone after Perry
Twilight Zone, Alfred Hitchcock.
Mannix and then the big guy Cannon, and Barnaby Jones.
I used to but MeTV was taken off my cable channel now if I want to watch we have to pay extra ....gee.."thanks " a lot verizon .
I love Perry Mason!! Repeats are on TV now! There was something special between Perry n Della...and I love how Paul called Della "beautiful" when he saw her...❤️
@Jim Wells I thought William Hopper was married and had a kid. I know Raymond Burr was gay, though
@Jim Wells never heard any rumors of William Hopper. Doesn't mean its not true though
...I loved when Paul Drake saved the day for Perry and Della....
I loved Perry Mason! I still love watching reruns! When I was a kid I used to read PM books! I always loved how Perry Mason got his killer on the witness stand! Great show! Thanks Steve!
Thanks DTG 👍
Loved watching Perry Mason. My fave programme when I was growing up.
I remember Tallman's PSA. I was a teen, and it riveted my attention. Yul Brenner also did one. At that time, there were no age limits on tobacco sales, and cigarettes were 25 cents a pack.
Burr was in the original Godzilla movie. And Barbara Hale had the role of Al Jolson's wife in "Jolson Sings Again"
i had forgotten about Brenner. And thanks for sharing that great movie trivia, Raymond!
I remember as a kid my aunt would send me to purchase cigarettes. Lucky Strike and Marlboros. In 65 her doctor told her give up smoking or die.....no bedside manners for this guy. Scared auntie so bad she came home and quit cold turkey.....after she died we found an old pack my cousin who was a smoker tried one and it was so stale he almost choked to death from coughing so hard that even he quit cold turkey after that!

Hey Steve. Love your show. Like you I live in Palm Springs too. You can see William Talman's anti smoking PSA on CZcams.
It was filmed shortly before he passed away.

I've been watching Perry Mason lately on MeTV channel on a weekly basis during this pandemic and it's such a breath of fresh air
watching how beautiful and clean LA was in the 50s and 60s with great acting from these talented actors and fascinating scripts.
I've bought cds of the complete show; 9 seasons. It's a true TV classic. Everything first class unlike the junk shows of today.
I'm a criminal defense lawyer and after 27 years I'm still looking forward to a Perry Mason moment when he make a witness breakdown and cry in court.
That’s very interesting. Thanks for sharing that with us Ken 👍 let’s hope you get that moment one of these days soon 😊👍
The cast gelled so well together. Raymond Burr was a versatile actor.
I loved Raymond Burr and Barbara Hale. They were so cute together. I think their chemistry made The show so successful.
Your research is fantastic ! Thanks for NOT getting political in your blogs....no need for that. You do a great job !
thanks, R/R!
If you don't think this was political, then you have selective ideologies.
FrankiesFancy you’re right, no need to even show that mural......
Anyone offended by that mural, or takes it as a political statement, is on the wrong side of history and needs to take a cold hard look at their life.
@@FrankiesFancy STOP
Loved the Perry Mason tv show, still watch the reruns. Never be another Raymond Burr to me. All the cast members were great.
I did see the show when I was in Canada.
The cast members complemented each very nicely. Tragg would always make me laugh. When he was so sacasstic with perry.
I remember William hopper. He was Paul Drake and Perry MasoWhich I watch forever. William hopper was a very handsome man. Thanks for the tour Steve’s😊n
I loved this video. I am a big fan of the show. I haven't seen the new one. Praying for you and your family while you look for a new home for your Mom. I wish you all the best. God bless you.
Thank you so much Debbie. I gave an update about my mom in one of my last vlogs. we couldn't get her into an assisted living home, so she is staying where she is for now, but all is good.
I remember the old black and white show Perry Mason well. I really enjoyed the Perry Mason movies. In real life he was a quiet person despite his celebrity. He was also extremely generous donating money to organizations and sponsoring needy children. He was bullied something terrible as a child for his weight and as a adult by Johnny Carson. He refused to go on his show for that. Thanks Steve for another enjoyable vlog.
Thanks for sharing that with us Sue. I didn’t know that. Especially about Johnny Carson. How awful!
I'm not sure about that statement. I recently watched Burr on The Tonight Show (CZcams) being interviewed by Carson.
I lived in downtown Denver in the 80s when they were filming the new series. I must say I definitely prefer the old series and will still watch an episode or two from time to time.
The Perry Mason movies from 1985-1993. Some of the films were done in Canada. Locations where Vancouver, Toronto, and Montreal.
Thanks Steve, for the kind mention - glad I could help out. FYI: William Talman's anti-smoking PSA is on CZcams. Also, after Ray Collins' emphysema got so bad that he had to bow out of his role as Lt. Tragg, he was included in all post-show credits until he died.
hey jtx, glad you are still watching my show and i'm glad that you are now a part of it :-) never even thought to look on youtube for the psa. and thanks for sharing that great tv trivia with us about collins. you are a wealth of information!
I also remember Burr from the Classic movies Rear Window and Godzilla.If I remember correctly he was related to Arron Burr. Lets not forget Iron Side
Perry Mason with Raymond Burr is on 2X a day, 9-10am and 11:30pm to 12:30am Mon thru Friday on METV. Although I've seen the many episodes multiple times, still watch it. I am surprised that Drake is buried at that cemetery. He was a very handsome man as was Raymond Burr.
William Hopper was also in The Bad Seed. He played the evil child's father.
In 7 minutes Perry will be on! METV
I still watch reruns of Perry Mason. I always like this show.
👍😷😁🙂😃🍺🖐🏻
Enjoyed the PERRY MASON episodes as a child.❤
Raymond Burr,was a great actor.My dad liked Perry Mason show.My dad John Parsons,passed away may19,2002,was66.
Thanks for sharing the memory of your father and that special memory with us Lisa 👍
@@TheGraveyardChannel You're welcome,thanks,for video.Maybe you might can do a video of Kurt Cabains,the singer for nirvana group.
🙏🙏🙏
Informative video. Didn’t know about William Hopper’s mother. Didn’t remember the names of Few cast members. It puzzles me that Barbara Hale doesn’t have a marker next to her husband. Wish she would ask her son William Katt why the family didn’t get a marker for her. The original Perry Mason is airing on Sundance TV . Hope your mom is doing well. God bless you and your family
Glad you enjoyed it, LKH. Thanks for the heads up about the Sundance channel.
I have briefly seen the new Perry Mason. I wasn't impressed. The original Perry Mason was such a classy well dressed and handsome man. He's the opposite and I couldn't relate. I knew that Barbara Hale was the character on the show to. I have checked out as much as I could on the character on the as a matter of fact. I watch Perry Mason 3 times a day except on Sunday just once. When you popped up on my phone I was watching it. Thanks for all the info on the stars
Found out about Hedda Hopper being Bill Hoppers mom on METV Svengoolie movie on Saturday nights. They showed the movie 20 million miles to Earth, which Bill starred in. During commercials Sven would talk about the actors in the film and he mentioned the Hedda/Bill connection.
@@johnderfler5183 Did you find out why Barbara didn't have a tombstone?? It's so sad.
I've heard William Katt speak very fondly of his mother, so I'm sure that whatever the reason for not having a grave marker, it isn't lack of affection. Maybe the family just want to keep the site private and not the object of curiosity for legions of fans.
I have always loved the original aPwrry Mason show and i still watch the reruns to this day. It just makes me feel good. 🙂
I remember seeing William Hopper in the blood-curdling movie "The Bad Seed". Originally "The Bad Seed" had been on Broadway then was made into the movie. I don't know if Mr. Hopper was in the stage version. I've read that she and her rival Louella Parsons originally were hired by their studios to do essentially promotional work but unexpectedly both women became powerful and influential columnists. Hedda Hopper had started out an actress but after she was an established columnist did play herself in the movie "Sunset Boulevard".
Thanks for sharing that interesting information with us Andrew 👍
William Hopper was in "Rebel Without A Cause" as well. Great vlog! Thinking of your Mom.
I was going to mention that, but forgot. Thanks for doing it for me, Al!
He was the father in The Bad Seed..🎈🎈
I remember my Family watching Perry Mason on Saturday Nights.
This is so awesome, while I was looking at this video, I was looking at Perry Mason, as I do every morning, I also look at Perry Mason in the evening! May they all REST IN PEACE! Thank you for sharing and remembering all of these Awesome actors!🙏🏽🙏🏽💐💐
I used to service Raymund Burr's pool, on Hillside Dr. in the Hollywood Hills in the late 1970's. Since my mom worked at Universal Studios, sometimes she would take my brothers and I to some of the sets there. It was about 1967, or 1968. We were on the empty set for "Ironside." Raymund Burr was the star of that show. I, as a kid was rolling around on the set, the kitchen scene, in Raymund Burr's wheelchair prop for the show. Suddenly Darren Mc Gavin happened to walk by the set, saw us, and he looked at me, bent down, and shook my hand, and said, "hello young man", and then proceeded to continue going to where he was going. I didn't know who he was at the time, but my mom tried explaining, as she would have numerous interactions with the actors there. Great Vlog!!!
what a fun childhood you had. thanks for sharing this with us carlos. very cool!
Perry Mason was one of my all-time favourites. Absolutely LOVED their courtroom cliffhangers, twists and turns. Such clever writing. I definitely had a crush on Paul Drake and thought Perry Mason's eyelashes were to die for! Doesn't seem possible that I watched these courtroom dramas nearly sixty years ago!
Such amazing memories, Steve. You always bring our favourite shows, characters and actors to life in our minds once more. This brings back as well the days when I was a newly qualified teacher, a career that lasted over forty years.
I know, time sure flies doesn’t it? What a great career. I thought very seriously about becoming a teacher too, but went in a different direction. I’m sure you have lots of great memories from those 40 years. Thanks, Avril 👍
Paul Drake is very handsome. 🤗
Hi Steve. Glad to see you are keeping hydrated in the heat. I loved this vlog and I loved watching Perry Mason. Those were the best who dunnits then and now. I still watch reruns. No beating the original series. Hale not having a marker is a bit odd. Hopefully her family will rectify that soon. I didn't know their graves were all so close. I did know Burr was buried with his parents in Canada. Great presentation Steve. Prayers for you and your mom. Take care out there. 🙂
I know, it is odd, isn’t it? Thanks Pamela 👍
My mom would hurry home from bowling to watch Perry Mason and now I've enjoyed the show. One of my favorite moments was when I saw David Cassidy's mom Evelyn Ward as a character in one of the shows! Everyone has seen good old Jack but she was a real treat to see. I think of my mom when I watch it
Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
I like watching perry Mason thank you
Steve - Good Morning and happy weekend! Another fascinating video, my friend. I had only just learned of the Hedda Hopper connection this week. What a coincidence. I didn't know about the William Katt connection. I remember his show from the 80's. Really interesting video. Thank you for sharing. Blessings - Judith
Another funny coincidence. Thanks Judith, you too!
My mom know Japanese and saw the symbol on Greatest American Hero and laughed. She told me that symbol was Japanese for zero or nothing. So, the superhero has a symbol that means he is a zero. That adds to the humor.
That’s cool to find those great people that was on TV many years ago ❣️
Sir a really good video!! I love the Perry Mason Show! I watch it every day of the week!! Thank you God bless you!! 🙏👏❤️
Thanks Carol 👍
You're welcome! 😊👍
@@TheGraveyardChannel You're Welcome Sir!! 😊👍
Hi again Steve. Loved the show Perry Mason. Thanks for this post. You always sharie your stories about your family thank you. This cemetary is beautiful, so peaceful. Looks lovely to visit and remember those who have gone. Thanks Joanne NZ 🙂
Thanks, Joanne. Glad you enjoyed it! Most of my trips are very personal to me, so I like to include that when appropriate.
Always thought Barbara Hale was gorgeous when I was a youngster !
Hell she was a knock out at the end of the shows run at 45. But I know what you mean. She did some pin up work when very young check her out.
She was really very attractive & carried herself very nice.
I watched the new Perry Mason on HBO. My mom and I loved it and we can’t wait until next season. I never really watched the original so I can’t compare the two, but this series was well written and has a great and talented cast. You’ll enjoy it.
Thanks for the review Nikki 😊👍
I enjoy your mother's updates. Miss seeing her. I had a stroke December 6th 2019 and it affected my right side . Still working on getting better. I enjoy your channel very much 💗
Sorry to hear that Kat. Hope you are getting better. At the moment, my mom is doing real well. Fingers crossed :-) Thanks!
Hey Steve. Great video once again. Thanks for all of your support of my channel. I always enjoy yours. Thanks for another great trip down memory lane.
Hi Whitt, I love your channel and obviously lots of other viewers do too! As I think I’ve said to you before, your channel is growing much much faster than mine ever did when I was first getting started. Thanks and have a great week 👍
SO GLAD U R Back my Friend!!! How is your Mom? You have been missed!
Thanks Robbie, but I didn’t go anywhere. I’ve been uploading one or two blogs every week this entire time. Sorry you missed them ☹️
Again great work I remember watching Perry Mason my mother loved the show and then later Ironsides Good job
thanks, thomas!
My great uncle Samuel Newman was one of the writers for Perry Mason. He was good friends with Raymond Burr and most of the cast. They were at his house quite often. Raymond was a big guy. Maybe that's how I remember him because I was so small. Barbara Hale was really beautiful in person. Fun times!
That is awesome Brenda. Thanks for sharing your memories with us all 👍
Great video! I vividly remember Talmans PSA on smoking. It was heartbreaking to hear what was to come for him & his desire to warn & save others from his fate. I watch at least 2 episodes daily of PM reruns that are currently playing. Stay cool!
Thanks Vanessa. You too 😊👍
Hi my Mum and I are fans of Perry Mason from Scotland, CBS drama has aired all 9 seasons and we never missed it. We watched the new Perry Mason and it's nothing like the original we watched 15 minutes and it was terrible so we turned it off.
That seems to be the consensus so far. Thanks for sharing your review Christina 👍
Use to watch the program.Perry Mason with my dear old mum, (RIP) now.watching the reruns on CBS, there great I love Perry Mason, what a brilliant defence attorney he is
Christina Inglis - we did exactly the same thing!! We still watch Perry Mason at 6.00pm here in the U.K. and the new series was diabolical!!
I did not know Raymond Burr was gay! Who knew! He was still a very great actor
I didn't know either, but I did suspect it. It definitely doesn't change how much I adore him. He's a great actor in Perry Mason. My favorite role is him in "Rear Window" though.
He was very secretive about it, so much so he bought his own Island out in the Pacific. By all accounts he was a kind gentle and very generous. Barbara Hale always talked glowingly of him. He was also very local. There were a few actors you see on the show in minor roles that he gave work too when they had fell on hard times. If you watch the credits long after is left the show due to his health you will see Ray Collin's name listed as Detective Tragg. That was how Mr Burr wanted it.
@@robertsullivan4773 Burr and Barbara Hale were long time friends, since the time both were under contract with RKO, in the 1940s. Hale wasn't interested, at first auditioning for the role of Della Street, until she saw Burr auditioning for the main role of "Perry Mason." And the rest, as they say, is history.
@@danielcobbins9050 you do during the audition they tried Burr as the DA I think even Hopped tried for different roles there are a number of CZcamss of the auditions. I love Barbra Hale she was all beauty and class.
My mom told me that, about Raymund Burr, decades ago, and yes he was a fabulous actor!!
R.I.Py'all God bless you all. ..Thank's Steve
Thanks James 😊👍
I watch Perry Mason on MeTV channel usually daily and I have had antenna TV for 15 years and I get about 65 channels for free, great old movies and westerns, and network TV. Great informative video you made.
If I'm not mistaken, Yul Brenner may have been the first one to film a TV commercial about the dangers of smoking.
Nope. William Talman did a anti smoking PSA in 1968, shortly before he passed away.
I heard Yul Brenner smoked 5 packs of cigarettes a day. He died of lung cancer. I don't see how anyone could smoke that many cigarettes in a day.
@@carlatanner5428 His name was Yul Brynner, NOT Brenner !!
Hi Steve, great vid! Both Ironside and Perry Mason were popular here in Australia too. I have visited Raymond Burr's old orchid garden in Fiji. Cheers👍
wow, i bet that was beautiful. as always, thanks for sharing with us, daniel!
Thanks my brother and I watch the show in the morning at our.company love your videos thanks from New Hampshire
Thanks Mark 👍
I happen to see this and I am a fan of Perry Mason show even though I wasn't born then I love this show. I actually watch in Pluto TV. It's on all day and every day. I love old tv shows, I have an old soul, that was once told by someone but then I knew I am. Bless you and Thank you.
Loooove your channel and what you do! I'm a nostalgia fan and seeker as well! I love to seek out and to post homage to all those that entertained and have gone before us. Especially love to search for military resting places! But you shocked me on this Perry Mason adventure. I had no idea, Raymond Burr was homosexual. What a shocker. But still loved all his works!
I think a lot of people were surprised when the news media broke the story after his death. Apparently it was an open secret that everyone knew about in show business. Guess they figured the public wouldn’t be able to handle it. And they were probably right considering the times.
Tragg, not Trigg.
How sad that Barbara Hale has no marker.
I still watch reruns of Perry Mason over and over again. Just like I watch Andy Griffith and threes company
Thumbs up! I still watch Perry Mason and the old movies with Tallman in them..
Thank you for this. As a child, i waa raised by my aunt. And as a depression era child she only went to school up to the sixth grade like many back then, and she longed to be a lawyer. But due to discrimination and yes lack of education her dream went unfulfilled. She would catch every episode of Perry mason! And as we only had one television i was stuck watching the show and hated until one day i got the law bug. Instead though i became a paralegal
I had kids to feed and thusly could not afford law school but instead i became a Paralegal. I had a voracious love for reading. Thank you for this my friend and thank you for the mentioning of George Floyd the way you presented it! And if you get a chance pick up the early movie serials during the 30's The new Perry Mason is based on those serials, not the television series! Raymond Burr and cast will always be my favorite as they portrayed minorities very respectfully Ivan Dixon in one of his first role and they actually had a black judge once.....i apologize if i may have inadvertently became political. But i had to compliment you for your respect for the cast. But i also wanted to add a wee bit of a context to the floyd mural! This really made my day....at 7:02 am. And one other thing how is your mother! I hope she is well! 😷 stay safe bro!! To be honest was hoping you would do one on this show......my one sadness is that she did not live long enough to see the late 80's and early 90's tele-movie series!
hi TW, wow, thanks for sharing the memory of your mom with us and for sharing your own life's journey, as well. i love hearing stories like this. i've also noticed recently, while watching some old tv shows that many of them surprising did depict minorities very respectfully and not at all sterotypically. somewhere along the line it seems that the world has gone off the rails when it comes to respect and compassion for others. to me, it's not about politics, it's just about human decency. the world could sure use a lot more of that.
Many thanks for baring the heat to make this video for us.
How's your mother doing?
thanks, Willie, and she's good at the moment.
one of my favorite shows I watch on metv every night thanks great vidio
Thanks Peter 👍
My Grand parents are buried in Rose Hills Cemetery. Unfortunately never have been able to travel cross country to visit it. Maybe someday we will. My boyfriend loves watching Perry Mason 🤩

Hi Steve! I loved Perry Mason as a kid! You did a great video tribute to the fine actors involved on the show! Thank you for sharing!👍😀
Thanks, Bill. Glad you enjoyed it!
William Hopper was also decorated WW2 Navy vet, served as a frog man in Pacific, the forerunner to the Navy SEALS.
Thanks for sharing that with us James 😊👍
I did not realize that Raymond Burr is a fellow Canuck! Learn something new everyday
Thanks for the tour. I always enjoy your videos. We have a heatwave going in southern Ontario at the moment I can relate
Hope you and mom are well ❤️
lol, well the way 2020 is going we will probably have a snow storm in LA this summer :-) thanks, michelle!

That sounds awesome Thomas. Thanks for sharing that memory with all of us 👍
Burger was a great cast member
As I recall, Perry Mason NEVER lost a case! How is that possible!? Think what he would charge for his services!
LOL so true 😊
I think he lost the last case televised. 😀
@@TheGraveyardChannel Hi Steve, and Kevin. Perry DID lose several cases. See my reply to Walter Johnson above for the Google details. Take care
The case he lost,but later solved was "Deadly Verdict"🎈🎈
I'll have to share this video with my dad. We watch Perry Mason every night. He might enjoy hearing some of these details.
Thanks Jen 😊👍
Hi STEAVE omg I I'm a new subscriber of your absolutely lovely great show. Well I watch perry Mason , every single nite fore the last 4. 5. Years . Especially on me tv. And you and your show now my number one show I love on you tube actually , did perry Mason. And cast wow !!!!! Made me feel so great . I know all the actors you did on this episode, and probably like most people love each and every one of these actors, from perry Mason. To close my review. I'm so glad to see that powerful mural. I CANT BREATH . MADE MY HEART FEEL SO GOOD . THAT STATEMENT WILL STAY WITH ALL OF US FOR EVER. SUCH A POWERFUL STATEMENT THAT WE CAN ALL FEEL. AND SO SAD IT HAD TO COME WITH AN ACTUAL LOSS OF LIFE. THANK YOU FOR ANOTHER GREAT SHOW STEAVE. ERIC.
Hi Eric, thanks for watching and subscribing. I really appreciate that. Especially from a true Perry Mason fan 👍 i’m so glad that you liked the Mural too. He will certainly never be forgotten and you’re right, those three words have change the world forever. Hopefully for better ✌️👍

THANKS STEAVE AND IS THERE ONLY LIKE 1OR2 PER MONTH OR WEEKKS OR QUERTLY?, THAT YOU MAKE THESE. SO I CAN LOOK FORWARD, FOR THE NEW ONES ABOUT TO COME OUT TO AIR. PLEASE LET ME KNOW THANKS ERIC
When I was a child, air travel was expensive and most people either traveled by bus or train. Bus and train Depots were not as nice as airports at the time but much less expensive and you got to see the countryside.
Me too. It’s funny how much things have changed over the years. Flying somewhere used to be so special. Now people just do it on a whim any day of the week. Thanks for sharing Almonte 👍
I remember those anti-smoking ads well by William Tallman. He was close to death when he cut them. I also knew that Hedda Hopper was William mom.
you definitely have a better memory than me. thanks for sharing with us, betty!
I remember Yul Brenner's anti smoking ads too.
Asd a kid we road tripped by car train and bus. All great experiences. Perry Mason was a favorite of mine. Thanks for the memories.
sounds like you had a very fun childhood, linda!
@@TheGraveyardChannel I have a lot of wonderful family memories. Great grandparents and all. Love your channel.
I watch it every night. Wishicould have met Hopper, so handsome😊
I remember Talman's anti-smoking as. Staring straight at us via the camera: "I've got lung cancer. ... if you don't smoke, don't start. If you di smoke, quit." Footage with commentary by Barbara Hale (not Hell) exists showing several selected cast members and others in audition for various roles.
I remember that well. In the opening of his narrative, he shows a picture of himself with Raymond Burr. and says something to the effect, do you recognize this guy?
Had to look and see if Dennis Hopper was part of the family.
I remember the Yul Brynner post mortem anti-smoking PSA’s.
Have a great weekend Steve!
i had forgotten about brynner, but someone else remembered him too. thanks, anthony!
Railfan Network ....👋 Chris
Watched Perry Mason on a small black and white TV, I remember the theme song and who can forget the cross examination and confession on the stand!
Hi Steve, Perry Mason is my favorite show.. I stay up late to watch it on METV. Raymond Burr did a great job on this show. I always enjoy his movies.
A grandfather I never got to meet was a heavy smoker,he dropped dead at home at age 39 of a heart attack.His heavy smoking was one cause of the heart attack
omg, how young and how sad. thanks for sharing his memory with us, walter.
My dad was 13 at the time when it happened.
@@TheGraveyardChannelyou do an amazing job on your videos, Thank You.
Godzilla was the American edit of the original Japanese Gojira. They added scenes with Raymond Burr to help with the American audiences and renamed it. He was also terrific as a prosecutor in A Place in the Sun, with Elizabeth Taylor and Montgomery Cliff. He auditioned for the Hamilton Burger role, initially. The new Perry Mason is an origin story about Mason before he became a lawyer. So far...meh. Thanks for the upload.
Thanks for the trivia and thanks for your review Roger 😊👍
This was a wonderfully done video about the cast members of the original Perry Mason tv series. The scenery at the various locations is just beautiful to see. Well done job.
Thank you for this great video of the Perry Mason characters!!👍👍🙂🙂🧡🧡
Seems everyone on that show would light up a smoke. Burr was also good in Ironsides. Perry Mason was good TV. Not only did Perry win all his cases but seemed to always catch the real criminal by making them testify. Stay safe and well.
i know, it's weird to see everyone smoking on some of these old tv shows. and did you see burr holding a cigarette on the cover of tv guide? :-) thanks, walter!
Memory Lane Trips With Steve tobacco companies sponsored these shows back in the day. I guess they pioneered “ product placement”.
Walter, Perry didn't win all of his cases. I had heard this years ago in some sort of trivia thing, so went to Google for the straight story.... [Mason is known to have lost, in some form or manner, three cases-"The Case of the Terrified Typist", "The Case of the Witless Witness", and "The Case of the Deadly Verdict". Mason also loses a civil case at the beginning of "The Case of the Dead Ringer", partly due to being framed for witness tampering.] Just an FYI for fans and afficianados.
Yea, Max, I saw that episode just last week where he did not win. Love Perry Mason. Raymond Burr was the perfect actor for that role.
Janice Holt oh no!!!! Perry lost one ! Raymond Burr was one of the greats
Be careful out in the heat drink plenty of water.
i drank a ton of water and gatorade that day, but should have brought even more. i will next week. thanks, daniel!

Wonderful video. Thank you. Ray Collins played Tragg.
Thanks, Paula. Glad you enjoyed it!
I like Raymond burr, William hopper and Barbara hale. I still watch
Perry Mason . My after dinner show. Handsome actors and Barbara
Good looking actress. 😊
Gail Patrick who was the Executive Producer on Perry Mason told Barbara Hale to wear dresses that were basically knee length. Ms. Patrick felt that the knee length style wouldn't be too dated if the show was to go into reruns.
How right she was. Fifty-four years later after the last show aired, Ms. Street still looks great.
On a side note. What I'd give to have one those classic Thunderbirds that Paul Drake drove or those high end Fords and later, Lincolns that Perry drove!
