Matlock

Matlock is an American television legal drama, starring Andy Griffith in the title role.

The show originally aired from 1986 to 1992 on NBC, where it replaced The A-team and to 1995 on ABC.

The format of the show was similar to that of CBS's Perry Mason, with him identifying the murderer and then confronting him or her in a dramatic courtroom scene near the end.

One difference, however, was that whereas Mason usually exculpated his clients at a pretrial hearing, Matlock usually secured an acquittal at trial, from the jury.

Matlock aired a total of 195 episodes across nine seasons.

179 episodes were hour-long, and four were 2 hour long episodes. There were 32 two part episodes of the program
