Matlock
Overview
Starring Andy Griffith as the brilliant defense attorney Ben Matlock, this iconic legal drama captivated audiences from 1986 to 1995. Produced by a collaboration of The Fred Silverman Company, Dean Hargrove Productions, Viacom Productions, and Paramount Television, the show initially aired on NBC before moving to ABC. Matlock’s approach to justice involved unraveling mysteries and engaging in intense courtroom confrontations, reminiscent of CBS's Perry Mason. Unlike Mason, Matlock typically achieved acquittals through jury trials rather than at pretrial hearings, showcasing his keen investigative skills and courtroom prowess.
