I just checked Wikipedia and the date was indeed changed. IMDB still lists May 21st though. Got to love the internet for all its misleading information. Doesn’t always make it easy for a writer to pick the truth these days. Although it probably never was unless you were able to check back with the actual source. ;) And that’s becoming increasingly difficult when it comes to Golden Hollywood.

Anyway. Thanks again. Your comments are much appreciated! <3

Wikipedia lists Bill Williams’ birthday as May 15, not May 21. Someone claiming to know Ms. Hale and Mr. Burr (on the Perry Mason Yahoo site) said the Katt family makes corrections on the BW wiki page.

Someone on the Perry Mason Yahoo group pointed out that Bill Williams’ birthday is actually May 15, not the same day as Raymond Burr’s. She said the Wikipedia entry on him is maintained by his family and that it lists his birthday as May 15, 1915.

Not only are you pretty on the outside, but also on the inside. You were so nice to the young kid that followed you around. I’ve been collecting Perry Mason shows. I have always been fan.
All the best to you,

Candy

Thanks so much for the additional info. I didn’t get past the first season of Dallas, so I had to google what you mentioned above. Bless Youtube users for providing so many TV goodies. I actually found the intros of all 14 seasons put together in two videos. So much fun to watch.
Now that you mentioned Dallas, I also remembered Dynasty whose intro served as a nice mixture of Coloradoan scenery and upper class imagery. On another note, I Dream of Jeannie, the first season intro of Wonder Woman and The Nanny all had iconic musical themes, as well as memorable graphics. Funny how more and more intros are now popping up in my head. :)

Two reasons: the skyline shot and Texas Stadium. Both had two varieties. The skyline shot went right-to-left for the first seven seasons from 1978-84 (miniseries included), and then was a straight-ahead zoom-in for the remainder of the series and the reunions. The Texas Stadium shot went diagonally right-to-left for the first 8 seasons (1978-85), and then became similar to the skyline, in that it became a straight-down zoom-in towards the field.

Hawaii Five-0 is such a great addition, you’re right. Iconic melody and rhythm, beautifully matched to the intro images. I mean, who could forget those waves in the beginning and not get in the mood for an hour of Hawaiian action?!
