4. they were never guilty

once a female client was found guilty at the start of the show and Perry spent 1 hour (minus commercials) exonerating her.

another time a client was found guilty but perry rushed down the hall to another courtroom and got someone else to confess to that crime and again his client got off.

QUITE A RECORD!

6. Sure beats hell out of the I Love Lucy reference!!

And frankly, this whole thing has given me ENORMOUS respect for Sotomayor. I would be SO whomping somebody upside the head by now!

7. He's going to be better than I expected

He's not going to tone down his ability to capture the room one bit.

Awesome.

8. Why do I like that so much? I dunno

Maybe seeing people laugh and smile is good. Who knows...

9. Berger won twice

From Wikipedia:

In fact, Burger did actually defeat Mason twice on the television series: once in "The Case of the Terrified Typist" and again in "The Case of the Deadly Verdict". In addition, in "The Case of the Shoplifter's Shoe", Burger figured out the true culprit (after some nudging in the right direction by Mason). In the TV series, the closest Burger gets to having Perry Mason "arrested" is when he has Mason cited for causing a trash fire within city limits (part of Mason's plan to free an innocent client).
