 Interesting Questions, Facts, and Information
 Matlock
Atlanta. He lives in Atlanta, Georgia. He travels to different cities and even out of the United States to defend people.
Attorney. He is an attorney. He is very sneaky. He called a woman that he needed for a witness one time and pretended that he had a job offer for her so that she would come back to Atlanta. When she did, one of his associates was waiting for her at the airport and handed her a subpoena as soon as she got off the plane!
Andy Griffith. Andy Griffith plays Ben Matlock. He also played Andy on 'The Andy Griffith Show'.
True. True. Andy Griffith has recorded a number of songs. He sings in several episodes of 'The Andy Griffith Show' and on 'Matlock'.
hot dogs. On every show that I can recall seeing, Ben Matlock is always eating hot dogs! He likes them with everything on them.
Private Investigator. Tyler Hudson is a private investigator. He helps Ben prove the innocence of the people he defends by finding clues to who the real killers are.
'Yes Sir That's My Baby...'. Ben is too cheap to pay for a professional to come in and wallpaper before his aunt comes to visit so he decides that he and Leann will do it themselves. The wallpapering job turns into a disaster. Anything that can go wrong does and Leann keeps singing 'Yes sir that's my baby...'.

Randy Travis. Randy Travis plays a man who is down on his luck and Ben hires him to paint his house. He is not very good at it though! They sing a few songs together on this episode. Randy Travis also stars in at least one other episode.
Leann McIntyre. Leann Matlock's married name is Leann McIntyre. Leann divorced her husband for committing adultery.
Contemporary American Literature. Ben says that he is taking these classes because he knows some things but he wants to learn more.
J.D.. Professor Gallagher teaches Ben in one of his classes.
Mark's wife, Debbie. Mark tries to pretend that he doesn't have a problem with his wife seeing Professor Gallagher. He says that they have an open marriage but it sounds like motive for murder to me.
Professor Gallagher. Yep, Professor Gallagher gets it right in the heart with a pair of scissors!
Paul. Paul is a student but he helps Professor Gallagher in whatever way he needs him, so he is always around the Professor's office and hears the fight that Marcy and the Professor have. They argue because she finds out that he is seeing Debbie too!
A janitor. A janitor sees her leave the office at 7:20.
Ronald. Ronald is going through the office trying to find his test book. He cheated and he wants to make sure that no one finds out.
asking him not to tell they dated. She doesn't want Ben to know that she dated J.D. because she is afraid that it will go against her in court.
the killer changed his or her test grade in the computer. Ben has Paul print out Professor Gallagher's test scores and finds that Mark's test scores were changed at 7:29 which means that Professor Gallagher was still alive when Marcy left at 7:20, or that the killer changed his test score. There was no reason for Marcy to change Mark's grades. He also found out that Mark cheated on the test so Professor Gallagher was giving him an F not an A which is what the test score had been changed to. All Ben needed was reasonable doubt to get Marcy off the hook.
four dogs all the way. Ben orders hot dogs for Conrad, Michelle, Marcy and himself at the end of the show.
Julie Sommars. Julie Sommars was born in 1942 and was also in a "Perry Mason" tv-movie.

1986 - 1993. She was on from seasons one to seven.
yes. In "The Best Friend," Matlock's client actually did commit the murder. Because his client changed her plea to guilty, Julie won the case. Also, in the episode about the tennis player, Julie won the case within the first 10 minutes of the show. Ben (actually Michelle) spent the rest of the episode trying to get evidence for a retrial - which Ben won.
Friday. In "The Best Friend," Ben had obtained tickets to a Gilbert and Sullivan show, but Julie had other plans. Ben was upset because Friday was the night that the two of them usually would go out and do something together.
yes. In the episode where Ben was accused of jury tampering, Julie resigned from her job in order to defend him. Unfortunately, Charlene also wanted to defend her father, but Julie was a better lawyer.

The Confession. I always loved how sometimes they could be 'yelling at' each other in the courtroom, yet in the next scene they were best of friends.
