Series about criminal defense attorney Ben Matlock (Andy Griffith) and his cases. Usually cliched as a show associated with old people.

The opening panel has Carroll O'Connor from In the Heat of the Night and Don Knotts as Barney Fife from Andy Griffith's previous sitcom, who've found the body of Jason from Camp Crystal Lake in the Friday the 13th movies. Knotts in reality played a bit part in this series as well.

The judge in this case is Harry Anderson from Night Court. Matlock's assistant is Conrad McMasters (Clarence Gilyard Jr.). The show was often compared to Perry Mason, who appears in the second panel.
