Matlock is an American crime and justice series, from 1986 to 1995 a total of 195 episodes in a total of nine seasons on two US channels. The series ran from September 23, 1986 to May 8, 1992 on the US television station NBC ; from November 5, 1992 to May 7, 1995, Matlock then switched to the American broadcaster ABC . When Matlock was broadcast on NBC from 1986, the series took over the previous slot of the A-Team . In 1997 Andy Griffith returned to the screens as Ben Matlock, this time as a guest in a double episode in the series Diagnosis: Mord in the double episode Matlock, Rescuer in Need (original title: Murder Two ).
action
The series is about the widower Benjamin Leighton "Ben" Matlock, played by Andy Griffith . Matlock is a senior, renowned criminal defense attorney based in Atlanta . He is always involved in murder cases in which innocents are suspected and charged in court . Matlock is charged with the defense of this innocent man and with the help of his staff clarifies the real situation. In a dramatic finale in the courtroom, the real perpetrator is exposed and Matlock's client is exonerated.
Matlock has won almost all of his mandates .
In contrast to many other American crime series, this one comes without (shown) violence and chases and is therefore similar to series like Columbo or Murder is her hobby . The structure of the stories told is similar to the older television series Perry Mason .
About Ben Matlock
Matlock studied law at Harvard University and then set up his law firm in Atlanta. A hallmark Matlock are his light gray suits and his affinity for automobiles of brand Ford .
Matlock almost always wears the same type of off-white suit and has a distinct preference for hot dogs . This is partly explained by his simple origins, which he says he could not and did not want to abandon at university or later, he values the simple and contemplative. Despite his success as a lawyer, he always remains thrifty, even rather stingy, and avoids any expense that is not absolutely necessary in his eyes. For example, he never lets maintenance work around the house be carried out professionally, but rather by migrant workers and the like; in order to avert a simple parking ticket, he sometimes takes to court - but in these cases he always loses. In the episode “His First Client” (season 8) you also learn that hot dogs were his favorite food even as a young man. In contrast, in his guest appearance in Diagnosis: Mord, this preference is explained by the fact that in 1969 a tip from his then friend Mark Sloan to put his money in the (unfortunately very short-lived) 8-track cassette industry almost bankrupted him and thus could only afford cheaper food until he was finally able to distinguish himself as a successful criminal defense lawyer.
