Perry Mason

1901–1953 · 200 episodes · 68 listens

Perry Mason is a radio crime serial based on the novels of Erle Stanley Gardner. Broadcast weekdays on CBS Radio from 1943 to 1955, the series was adapted into The Edge of Night which ran on television for an additional 30 years.

Geared more towards action than courtroom drama, Perry Mason mixed mystery and soap opera, with attorney Perry Mason sometimes even exchanging gunfire with criminals. Erle Stanley Gardner’s literary success with the Perry Mason novels convinced Warner Bros. to try its hand, unsuccessfully, with some motion pictures.

However, the Perry Mason radio show stayed on the air for 12 years.

The Stars

The actors portraying Mason switched frequently over the first three years of the show’s run, starting with Bartlett Robinson, then followed by Santos Ortega and Donald Briggs. John Larkin took over the starring role on March 31, 1947, and portrayed Perry Mason until the end of the series.

Larkin played the equivalent character on The Edge of Night, Mike Karr. The guest cast included Mercedes McCambridge.

Key Dates

  • Perry Mason aired weekdays from October 18, 1943 to December 30, 1955 on CBS Radio.
  • The show’s time slot changed over the years, starting at 2:45 p.m. ET, then moving to 2:30 p.m. ET, and finally settling at 2:15 p.m. ET from 1945 to the end of the run.

Other Information

The Perry Mason radio series was adapted into the long-running television series The Edge of Night, which aired from 1956 to 1984. While the television version shared many similarities with the radio show, Gardner was not pleased with the direction the new show took and withdrew his support, leading to the name change.

Two actors who played Perry Mason on radio, Bartlett Robinson and John Larkin, later appeared in episodes of the CBS-TV series Perry Mason starring Raymond Burr. The radio series spanned over 3,000 episodes during its 12-year run.

BE WARNED though that some episodes of Perry Mason are no longer in existence and even after many episodes many of the stories are incomplete.
