The classic courtroom drama had many different versions of its intro.
CBS Television Distribution
Television shows from the Fifties and Sixties were not afraid to completely change their opening credits sequences to keep things fresh and new. Some changed when they switched to color, others to accommodate new cast members. Sometimes they changed just for the heck of it!
The classic legal drama Perry Mason went through numerous intros during its nine seasons on the air. The iconic theme music stayed but the action onscreen changed depending on the season and episode.

7/10 🧑⚖️
10/10, but I’m a huge Perry Mason fan!
7/10 ashamed of myself 😞
Got 8 out of 10. No surprise, my mom LOVES Perry! Too bad Raymond Burr was gay.
8/10. Rats - never paid much attention to the opening creds. Quite a variety!
I have been watching Perry Mason since I was in grade school My mother loved it I also watched it when I rocked my kids. I don't think it was ever off the air. Even watching reruns I still remember who really is guilty. Love this show.
9/10. In the opening of later seasons the defense table and chairs are pushed tightly back against the railing and in another opening the chairs are askew with ratty looking cushions.
8/10 Not bad. I started watching with my dad when it first aired. I just started watching again on MeTV. Love the show. They don’t make them like that anymore. 🙁
8/10 funny that I missed questions 8 & 10 lol
All guesses
9/10
9/10
5/10 and all guesses
9 out of 10. The openings always fascinated me. Wouldn't you know it, the only question I got wrong was the last one about how many versions there were of those credits.
8/10. 😉
10/10 I am a Perry Mason junkie not to tell my age but watch when they 1st aired and now never miss any on me TV
This should have been easy. I usually watch the opening credits then have to leave for work right after so I have no excuse for only getting 5 out of 10.
9/10

10/10. I've been watching "Perry Mason" for decades. My favorite opening is the one where he walks into the empty courtroom, looks around with his big, expressive eyes, and then sits down all by himself. I can't help but think that was one of Raymond Burr's famous practical jokes. Always cracks me up~it's so random.
7 out of 10. I should have gotten 9 though.
