Objection Sustained

September 21, 1957 – 68 years ago today Perry Mason premiered on CBS.

Based on the character from the books of Erle Stanley Gardner, Raymond Burr starred in the title role.  The show was the first weekly hour-long drama series.

Lasting nine seasons, the original show was nominated nine times for an Emmy and won five including Best Actor in a Leading Role (Burr, 1959 and 1960) and Best Supporting Actress (Barbara Hale, 1959).

A few years ago, I took part in a TV Show draft.  Like fantasy football, each round we got to pick our show.  I chose Perry Mason in the third round.  You can read that blog here.

The show has been shown in syndication ever since it went off the air on May 22, 1966!

I'm just a guy who likes the classics. I love Old Time Radio Shows. I love Classic TV. I love Classic Movies. I love songs from the "Great American Songbook". I dig songs from the first decade of Rock and Roll. Don't get me wrong, I am not opposed to newer things. My musical taste ranges from Classical to Classic Rock and Country to Rap. I love a good book and am always looking for something to read. I tend to lean toward historical fiction, biographies, mysteries, and more. I have always believed that our past (and the things we've experienced in it) make us who we are today. That being said, after reading through some old My Space blogs (yeah, that's about how long it's been since I blogged regularly), I decided that I should once again write. Welcome to my blog. I hope you find it interesting, thought provoking, and entertaining in some way. CONTACT ME AT - nostalgicitalian@yahoo.com
