Hamilton Burger

I found Chan's suggestion that a clever lawyer could defeat their case to kind of overrate what they had on us seeing.

You could have Hamilton Berger and the public defender from My Cousin Vinny as the opposing counsel, and they get it thrown out because you have no really good theory as to why this 78-year-old man committed a double murder, and no real physical evidence that actually links him to the crime.

I will say that at this point, I've got two theories as to who committed the crime, although I'll keep that close to my chest as to not spoil it in case, and this is probably an off chance, I might actually be right.

I left the election-related proverb in between the episodes in to highlight that particular segment because it does have some interesting implications for the dating of the episode.

One of the more interesting somewhat recurring characters was Jonathan Hale, a rural district attorney and a homespun country district attorney, played by Paul Fix, who was, of course, the sheriff, Micah Torrance, on The Rifleman, as well as many other things.

He was only in five episodes, but whenever the crime scene is in a rustic county far from Hamilton Burger's jurisdiction, prosecutor Jonathan Hale, played by Paul Fix, quietly but good-naturedly sparred with defense counsel Perry Mason.

There was an eager law student, David Gideon, who would help Perry research for cases sometimes.

Now, the judges for this show, I didn't go through all the ...

It's, this one may be the best, I think.

The character Perry Mason was spoofed in an episode of The Flintstones titled Little Bamm-Bamm.

When the Rubbles try to adopt Bamm-Bamm with the help of attorney Bronto Burger, must have been a Hamilton Burger reference, they end up in court facing attorney Perry Masonry, who's n- [coughs] Perry, Perry Masonry, who's never lost a case.

The Blues Brothers, yes, Jake and Elwood from Joliet, Illinois.

You're no

Hamilton Burger.

I'll just say that.

Well, look, Hamilton, good name for a lawyer.
