Mason is far more a detective so far. And his main antagonist is Sgt. Holcomb and over the past few books it is obvious that he has some mental issues.

  • Swinburne University of Technology Jason Bainbridge Lawyer As Critic
    Bainbridge Lawyer as critic Swinburne University of Technology Jason Bainbridge Lawyer as critic: analysing the legal thriller through the works of John Grisham, Erle Stanley Gardner and Harper Lee Abstract: Focusing on selected ‘classic’ novels by John Grisham, with reference to how they are informed by the earlier works of Erle Stanley Gardner and Harper Lee, this paper explores how these authors, writing in the legal thriller genre, present their lawyer protagonists as critics of both the law and the legal systems of which they are a part. Both Gardner’s and Grisham’s writings have been the focus of much criticism from legal scholars who suggest they are unduly critical of lawyers and provide outlandishly happy endings. This article challenges these criticisms by analysing how Gardner’s and Grisham’s narratives explore notions of law’s contingency on crime and materiality. In this way the article concludes that these narratives offer a way of understanding how just practitioners can operate in an unjust system and therefore constitute a powerful interrogation of how law operates. Biographical note: Jason Bainbridge is Professor and Chair of Media and Communication at Swinburne University of Technology. He has published widely on popular cultural representations of law and justice in print, on film and on television, media convergence, merchandising and material culture. He is co-author of the textbook Media and Journalism: New Approaches to Theory Practice (3rd ed, OUP, 2015) and is currently working on a monograph around media franchises. Keywords: Creative writing – Crime fiction – Legal Thriller – Postmaterial Law – Popular Culture TEXT Special Issue 37: Crime fiction and the creative/critical nexus 1 eds Rachel Franks, Jesper Gulddal and Alistair Rolls, October 2016 Bainbridge Lawyer as critic Introduction The lawyer has always occupied an unusual position in crime fiction, simultaneously a figure of reverence and revulsion.

The pilot occurred in two parts, with the first part being a special hour-long broadcast of The Adventures of Superman (normally presented as half-hour episodes) and the second being an hour-long pilot for Perry Mason. Unfortunately, the people behind Perry Mason decided to scrap their pilot after realizing that the intrepid lawyer and his stories should be wholly based on science, not science fiction and fantasy, which is what The Adventures of Superman involved. This also meant scrapping the backdoor pilot – the special hour-long episode of The Adventures of Superman. Of course, none of the above actually happened. No, it didn’t, but it is a “fun” way of imagining how these two beloved television series could be linked with one another.

  • The Audience of Perry Mason, Or, the Case of What People Write to Famous Authors
    . Volume 16, Issue 2 November 2019 The Audience of Perry Mason, or, the Case of What People Write to Famous Authors Janet Staiger, University of Texas at Austin, USA Abstract: This essay surveys what audience members of the US television series, Perry Mason (1957- 1966), wrote to Erle Stanley Gardner, creator of the character of Perry Mason, during the lifetime of the program. The study reaffirms and extends our knowledge of audiences (only some of whom might be considered ‘fans’) of primetime television. It focuses on approximately 130 letters and serves as a comparison with other studies of correspondence from TV viewers such as audiences of general news, the fans of Cagney & Lacy (1981-1988), and Internet exchanges between the creator of Babylon 5 (1994-1998) and its enthusiasts. The Perry Mason correspondence is less fraught with specific goals (altering perspectives on news programs, saving a cherished program, enjoying interactions with a famous writer) and, thus, likely displays more routine letter writing. Indeed, typically these audience members write that they like the program, they want Raymond Burr to continue on the program, and they question legal procedures, plot points, and choices of actors. However, among other points, they also tell Gardner their views on favorite (or not) recurring characters and trends in plot construction, and three spontaneously complain about ‘incidental’ (non-diegetic) music. Audiences seem to write creators of fiction television programs in order to maintain or alter the narrative formulas that give them pleasure. This practice appears to be a constant across historical periods of commercial US television. Keywords: audience letter-writing, television series, audience preferences, Perry Mason What do audiences do when something goes ‘wrong’ with their favorite characters or much loved serial narratives? One reaction is to discuss this with other audience members or friends who know the stories.
