page states he never loses a case

actually he lost one --Howmee 20:21, 27 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

He lost quite a few. Most of those mentioned had the loss set before the start of the series. Will (Talk - contribs) 09:39, 22 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Office changes?

Sometime after the first season ended, the set for Matlock's office got reversed. Any ideas why?
By Season 4, the office was deleted. I assume the producers were attemptting to save money. Am I correct?

Would anyone be interested in a section listing how some actors have had multiple roles in the series?

It looks really odd when one actor or actress plays two many roles in one series.

Dick Van Dyke played a murderous Judge in the first official episode. However, he also played Dr. Mark Sloane of Diagnosis: Murder. Since Andy Griffith also played Matlock in that series for the episode Murder Two, the two universes are linked.

Brynn Thayer played Matlock's daughter, Leanne MacIntrye, in seasons 6-8. However, she also played a client of Ben's in The Suspect.

David Ogden Stiers played a murderer in Blind Justice and a crook in The Ambassador.

Daniel Roebuck, in addition to playing Cliff Lewis seasons 7-9, also played a resident docter in The Doctors and a family friend in The Ambassador.

Yes, good idea, good job. It would also be good to put why the characters left the series as it went on.

Episode notes

The Hallmark Channel always airs two part episodes as a single two-hour movie. While they show one-part episodes in order, they skip the two-parters and show those in a seperate timeslot that is also used to show Perry Mason and other shows.

On the other hand, WGN-TV shows two-part episodes as they originally aired.--Will 23:25, 1 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Possible POV comment

In the part on Brian Cranston (last entry) in Matlock (TV series)#Notable guest stars, the entry ends with "You go, Brian Cranston!" Should that comment be removed? Will 06:26, 1 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Does anyone know something about the "P.I." episode?

Since Matlock was only in the first couple of minutes, I think P.I. might have been an attempt to spin off a new series. What does everyone think? Will (Talk - contribs) 09:43, 22 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
