Matlock: Season 4

Possibly the best episode is "The Buddies". This case is a tough one for Ben Matlock - he learns of a dark secret about his old buddies involving murder and an innocent man who went to prison. If that wasn't bad enough, as he begins his investigation someone tries to kill him. He doesn't want to believe it, but it might be one of his old buddies.This season's supporting characters in order of how many shows in which they appear:14 shows - PI Conrad McMasters, Ben's new investigator. In "The Hunting Party", Conrad is a small town Deputy Sheriff. Matlock is flown in to defend a man. While in the process of investigating leads, someone plants drugs in Ben's car; Ben is arrested, hauled into court ... Ben loses it, but Conrad calms him down, thus cementing their new long-term friendship.12 - Michelle Thomas, Ben's associate. In "The Witness" she solos as defense attorney - Ben is out of town.11 - Lt. Bob Brooks, a soft-spoken Atlanta Police Detective. A minor role; no standout episodes.7 - Prosecuting Attorney Julie March. In "The Ex" she gets to be the defense lawyer; awkwardly, the prosecutor is her ex!4 - Mr. Les Calhoun (Don Knotts), Ben's friend and neighbor. Warning: cover your ears when he sings in "The Scrooge"!2 - PI Tyler Hudson, Ben's old private eye (neither episode provides a storyline to explain his departure from the show.)Overall: These shows are good enough to watch many times.Media: DVD -2010. Color & Contrast: good to excellent. Sharpness: appears to be equal to that of the original broadcast. Sound: excellent. Subtitles: none (If you want subtitles, check out Season Five.)

Years after Andy Griffith left his own show, he portrayed District Attorney Victor Worheide in the NBC Series, "Fatal Vision," based on the true crime involving Jeffrey MacDonald, who brutally killed his preganant wife and two daughters. After the premiere of that TV movie, Andy received such splendid reviews on his portrayal, that another network felt he would be perfect in a lawyer-based series of his own. The character, Ben Matlock, with his pale blue-gray suits and down-to-earth manner, was a true characteristic of the DA he had portrayed in Fatal Vision. The series is a winner, and each Matlock case holds my interest, even though I have seen them numerous times before. Andy Griffith was a true legend - a wonderful actor, a great musician, and a true gentleman. There is no one like him and we are all the poorer that he is no longer with us. I am thankful I have this series so I am able to bring him back to life - even if it is only on the screen. Comment Comment | Permalink

I've been a fan of Andy Griffith -- since the Andy Griffith show. I like the mystery-murder solving emphasis programs. Matlock includes these aspects but then he adds the lawyer defense of the accused person. The interest is analyzing the clues to untangle the evidence to discover the really guilty person. The older more experienced , gray-haired lawyer in contrast to the younger more laid back Sheriff Andy Taylor provides a view of Andy Griffith's development as an actor and personally.

I am a huge fan of Andy Griffith and Matlock! I watched it since it came out and still do to this day. I love Andy Griffith’s portrayal of Ben Matlock. He was hot-headed and cursed sometimes, especially when he says ‘jackass’ but he was a good guy with a heart of gold. I love that he loves hot dog and he is a penny pincher too. Every episode had great stories, twists and turns. I love the humor!

I love his show's fast shipping thank you

I enjoy Matlock. Amazon is trustworty and I receive my purchase in good time. The DVD not defective in any way. Matlock has a warm and friendly personality, and is tenacious in his pursuit of the truth. He is loyal to his friends. The comedy is delightful and the interplay of characters is priceless. I love it and recommend it to all. I also have seasons 1-3. My apologies for no having more time to be 'specific'.

I love this show but was disappointed that there are several Part 2 of episodes missing!

WHAT CAN I SAY. MATLOCK SPEAKS FOR HIM SELF. IF YOU ARE TRUE MATLOCK FAN AS I AM, EVERY EPISODE IS LIKE WATCHING FOR THE FIRST TIME, INSPITE OF YOU KNOWING WHAT WILL HAPPEN NEXT. YES I RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT TO THE YOUNG AND OLD AT HEART. I LOVE MATLOCK AND I HATE THAT HE NO LONGER WITH US, BUT HE LIVES ON DVD. DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND PURCHASE IT...

Great

Artikel ist wie beschrieben. Top Preisleistungsverhältnis. Ich bin sehr zufrieden.

Eine weitere spannende Season des nach Perry Mason bekanntesten Anwaltes der USA! :-) Die Geschichten sind kurzweilig und leben von der besonderen Chemie zwischen den Hauptdarstellern, unter denen selbstverständlich Andy Griffith herausragt! Ihm in seiner Paraderolle zuzuschauen, ist ein Hochgenuss!!

This is what I expected in the series to follow of Matlock. I enjoyed this season very much. A must purchase if you want to follow along with Matlock and his co stars. To boot to see spots with his old co worker Don Knotts... It's always a pleasure...

MY WIFE ALWAYS LOVED THIS SERIES - I MAY STILL SOME MORE OF THE SEASONS
