It was a revival of the 1957 Perry Mason television series about Erle Stanley Gardner's brilliant defense attorney.
The familiar theme song of the original, "Park Avenue Beat," was replaced by a generic dramatic fanfare.
While several production personnel had worked on the original Perry Mason series (including executive producer Cornwell Jackson, producers Ernie Frankel and Art Seid, and director Arthur Marks), the series was made without the participation of any members of the original cast, with Monte Markham taking over the role that Raymond Burr played in the original series.
This revival was cancelled at midseason, after failing to overtake its two hit rivals, NBC's The Wonderful World of Disney and ABC's The F.B.I.
